It emphasizes the relationship between physical spaces and human actions, suggesting that architecture can shape social dynamics (Ruonavaara, 2017). The behavioral aspect of housing is man’s view of its environment and the built space. In other words the space that we see around us that aff ects our behavior, thoughts, and actions (Aldave et al., 2016). Historical Rec ent Tren ds Background In recent years, there has been a shift to ward sustainable design and creating community-fo cused environments. T he concept of the " Bro ken Windows Theo ry ," an article written in 1982 by crimino logists J ames Q. Wilso n and George Kelling, highlights how env ironmental cues infl uence behavior, shaping urban design approaches. Mid 2 0 th Cen tu ry Behavioral Housing Theory gained tractio n in the 1 96 0 s and 1 9 70 s through interdisciplinary studies combining psy chology , so cio lo gy , and architecture. Kevin Lynch and Jane Jacobs emphasized the ro le o f urban environments in fostering community and so cial engagement. 1 95 0 s T he 1950s saw increased interest in environmental psy cho lo gy , examining how phy sical spaces impact behavior. Emergen c e T he roo ts o f Behavioral Housing T heory can be traced back to the early 2 0th century , with infl uences fro m psy chology and sociology. Architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier explo red ho w design aff ects user ex perience, lay ing groundwork for f uture research.  CORE CONCEPTS Behavioral Housing Theory explores the relationship between the physical environment of housing and the behaviors, interactions, and well-being of its inhabitants. Understanding these core concepts helps in designing spaces that enhance quality of life.

Embracing this approach holds the promise of creating inclusive, adaptable, and sustainable communities that respond to the needs of diverse populations in an ever-evolving world. In conclusion, integrating Behavioral Housing Theory into residential design can redefine our living environments, making them not just places to reside, but spaces that actively support and enhance human life. REFERENCES Aldave, J., & Jores, R.
