Hábitat y Sociedad is a scientific journal of the Seville University Press, with international arbitration, of annual periodicity, which is published in November.
It is aimed at the dissemination of papers that contribute to a complex understanding of the social habitat, prioritizing research on participatory processes of Social Production and Social Management of the Habitat for the achievement of the right to the city and the recovery of balance with the ecosystem.
It is an interdisciplinary journal insofar as we understand social habitat as a complex concept that is generated by the dynamic interaction of physical, social, cultural, economic, legal, environmental and political situations, on scales that go from housing to territory.
