Conclusion: Dimensions in the Measure of people-space relationships

Abstract

The scientific procedure for conducting research in people and space transactions is characterised with a plethora of approaches which most of the time could be confusing especially to a beginner researcher. This book significantly provided measures of people and space interactions in the built environment towards responsive development. It covers the consideration of different settings of the built environment that include mountainous landscape, urban neighbourhood, hospital built environment, public housing setting and cultural landscape of a typical rural ethnic community. These settings are influenced by culture and technology in space optimisation, linking urban dynamics with mainstream indigenous cultural values in both tangible and intangible expressions. In this regard, researchers move towards thinking out of the box and identifying appropriate methodology, which means they encounter new innovative and creative methodologies that better fit the phenomenon under investigation.
