Exploring the myth of the single solution: an anthropological study of housing maintenance and infrastructure issues in Australia

土著住房是改善澳大利亚社会和经济结构的核心挑战。便利设施、维护和责任等紧迫问题仍未解决。通过记录在澳大利亚采取以小规模维修和维护为目标的困难但成功的干预模式所涉及的内容，这项研究将揭示以下关键问题：项目复制和效果的复杂性；此类项目在其中运作的社会和政治背景；持续改革所需的特征。它还将为一个日益增长的国际领域--即政策、援助和发展的人类学--增添澳大利亚的贡献。

Indigenous housing is a core challenge for improving Australia's social and economic fabric. Urgent issues of amenity, maintenance and responsibility remain unresolved. By documenting what is involved in taking a difficult yet successful intervention model for targeting small-scale repairs and maintenance to scale in Australia, the research will shed critical light on: the complexities of program replication and effect; the social and political context such programs operate within; the characteristics required for sustained reform. It will also add an Australian contribution to a growing international field: namely, the anthropology of policy, aid and development.
