Sociologický výzkum jako podpora rozvojových projektů měst/ Sociological Research as a Support of Urban Development Projects

Abstract

Architecture, buildings and all human settlements and transport systems should be created in a way that ensures a sustainable environment and satisfactory living-quality for all inhabitants. This can be achieved if a highly sensitive and human-focused attitude is established in the pre-design, design and construction phases and this is then maintained in all environmental and technical transport settings. Herein, we highlight the newest and the most sophisticated tools that human science and sociological development offer to architects and urban planners. This modern multidisciplinary approach will help create a human environment which secures satisfaction and good living-quality in the current artificial environment. Finally, we present the methods, procedures and techniques for obtaining essential environmentally-friendly information, and these include all useful tools, in-depth interviews, questionnaires and widespread focus groups.
