Abstract
Sixteen dissertations are reviewed to discover the trends in cultural aspects of housing research. Six academic disciplines of 13 universities, predominantly in the eastern part of the United States, are found to be involved in research concerning five basic geographical locations. A wide variety of topics structured by various conceptual frameworks is observed. Research design often consists of case studies of individual dwellings followed by interviews of the inhabitants or surveys of historical documents. Because of the large number of conceptual frameworks guiding the research, the possibility of comparisons is limited. Suggestions are given for future research.
