CollaborationLa collaboration est l'acte de travailler ou de réfléchir ensemble pour atteindre un objectif. Dans son sens commun, la collaboration est un processus par lequel deux ou plusieurs personnes ou organisations s’associent pour effectuer un travail intellectuel suivant des objectifs communs. Des méthodes structurées de collaboration encouragent l'introspection de comportements et communication. Ces méthodes ont pour objectif spécifique l'augmentation du taux de réussite des équipes quand elles se livrent à la résolution de problèmes en collaboration.
Computer-supported collaborationComputer-supported collaboration research focuses on technology that affects groups, organizations, communities and societies, e.g., voice mail and text chat. It grew from cooperative work study of supporting people's work activities and working relationships. As net technology increasingly supported a wide range of recreational and social activities, consumer markets expanded the user base, enabling more and more people to connect online to create what researchers have called a computer supported cooperative work, which includes "all contexts in which technology is used to mediate human activities such as communication, coordination, cooperation, competition, entertainment, games, art, and music" (from CSCW 2023).
HousingHousing, or more generally, living spaces, refers to the construction and assigned usage of houses or buildings individually or collectively, for the purpose of shelter. Housing is a basic human need, and it plays a critical role in shaping the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. Housing ensures that members of society have a place to live, whether it is a home or some kind of physical structure for dwelling, lodging or shelter and it includes a range of options from apartments and houses to temporary shelters and emergency accommodations.
Logement socialUn logement social est un logement destiné, à la suite d'une initiative publique ou privée, à des personnes qui ont des difficultés à se loger le plus souvent pour des raisons financières. L'expression sert aussi à désigner le secteur économique constitué par ce marché immobilier et les politiques d'économie sociale qui président à son administration. En Europe, le logement passe par diverses traditions et des histoires nationales qui toutes visent à l’encadrement des loyers et à plus ou moins d'extension du logement social.
Affordable housingAffordable housing is housing which is deemed affordable to those with a household income at or below the median as rated by the national government or a local government by a recognized housing affordability index. Most of the literature on affordable housing refers to mortgages and a number of forms that exist along a continuum – from emergency homeless shelters, to transitional housing, to non-market rental (also known as social or subsidized housing), to formal and informal rental, indigenous housing, and ending with affordable home ownership.
