Conceptions of housing: Papakāinga, co-housing and Māori perceptions of ‘home’
Exploring concepts of housing
WatchCOLLECTION
Housing For All
Community Research set out with an enquiry into creating a special collection of resources on housing in Aotearoa as a way to support and advocate for community researchers already engaged in this work.
The report gathers evidence on what currently exists in literature in the area of housing in Aotearoa and identifies the gaps in this existing literature.
The following themes are not the focus of any of the existing collections:
a) renting/tenancy (aside from older people)
b) lived experience and knowledge
c) homelessness/ houselessness
d) rangatahi housing.
In response to these findings, the Community Research Housing Special Collection is designed to bring together various housing research repositories into one, easy to use resource. In this collection you will find links to all of the significant housing research collections and community housing research from the Community Research collection, including the Community Research housing report.
Community Research collection of research reflects the need for not only academic research in the identified gaps of research-renting/tenancy, lived experience and knowledge of housing, homelessness/houselessness, and rangatahi housing research, that is more reflective of community needs.
We would like to acknowledge Lydia Carson, Gauri Nandedkar, and Janie Walker for their contribution to this work.
