Wellbeing, space and society

Curtis, Sarah; Riva, Mylene

Abstract

This special issue presents research exploring various aspects of wellbeing in relation to diverse dimensions and experiences of ‘home spaces’. These papers draw attention to the significance for wellbeing of ‘home spaces’ conceptualised as both material and psychosocial environments as they relate to the immediate home environment of individuals and their households, as well as to their wider community. Several of the papers discuss home spaces and wellbeing in relation to impacts of the COVID pandemic – a period during which home spaces became even more central to wellbeing. When we consider these papers in combination, some broader conclusions about the complexity of associations between home spaces and wellbeing emerge; these are addressed in the conclusion.
