Many social and human problems have several dimensions, can be analyzed from different scientific disciplines and are dynamic in nature. Their short-term consequences do not match their long-term consequences because they involve people's freedom and their ability to learn and change. To find creative, effective, sustainable solutions, these problems must be viewed from a broad, dynamic, open approach that is both interdisciplinary (drawing on several disciplines in order to understand problems in all their complexity) and multidisciplinary (seeking to develop new models based on broader assumptions than those of the different sciences individually). This chapter seeks to show that the home can provide this core of analysis, insofar as it: - puts the person at the center - presents that person within the framework of a human community, the family, that is called upon to cooperate in common functions that have considerable significance - enables a variety of dimensions to be identified, all of which are important for these people - revolves around the physical living space which these people share, that is, the house - places the house within an immediate environment, the village, neighborhood or town, opening the home to society as a whole.
