Assessing and Evaluating Residential Environments

A Sheltered Living Environments Example

Abraham Wandersman

University of South Carolina at Columbia

Rudolf H. Moos

Social Ecology Laboratory

The major purpose of this article is to suggest approaches for assessing and evaluating sheltered living environments. First, a multidimensional approach to environmental assessment is described. Second, we present a set of outcome criteria that can be used to evaluate the effects of environmental dimensions. We then suggest several approaches for utilizing information about environments to increase the fit between people and environments, and to facilitate change in environments.
