Property as habitat: reintegrating place, people, and law

这个项目的目的是产生一个财产法的原始帐户，将其连接到地方和人际关系。财产是当代社会生活和法律的中心，但在法律的学术研究中，它往往与它所构成的人类和自然世界相分离。该项目利用创新的分析技术和对财产的功能和影响的有根据的考虑，其目标是使人们对财产作为一种既对地点敏感又适应社会条件的生境有一种理解。预期的好处包括对财产的响应性理解，能够更好地应对澳大利亚社会未来的挑战。

This project aims to produce an original account of property law that will connect it to place and human relationships. Property is at the centre of contemporary social life and law, yet it is often separated in legal scholarship from the human and natural worlds it structures. Using innovative analytical techniques and a grounded consideration of the functions and effects of property, the objective of the project is to produce an understanding of property as habitat that is both sensitive to place and adapted to social conditions. Expected benefits include a responsive understanding of property that is better able to address the challenges of Australian society into the future.
