This paper introduces the special issue focused on the relationship between residence and health in Australia. We present six papers conducted in different Australian states that demonstrate different elements of the complex impact of residential context on health. Through this series of papers, we demonstrate the impact of housing quality and safety on vulnerable populations, but also the way in which processes around housing (e.g., data collection, renewal, allocation) can have either negative or positive outcomes. The broader residential context (i.e., neighborhood, community, geographic location) also must be considered in housing decisions, along with variables that closely track housing (e.g., stigma, poverty). Australia is in the middle of a housing crisis that can still be resolved in positive ways if adequate attention is given to the nuances and complexities of housing decisions.
本文介绍了聚焦于澳大利亚居住环境与健康关系的特刊。我们呈现了六篇在澳大利亚不同州开展的论文，这些论文展示了居住环境对健康复杂影响的不同方面。通过这一系列论文，我们不仅展示了住房质量和安全对弱势群体的影响，还展示了围绕住房的各种过程（如数据收集、更新、分配）可能产生的负面或正面结果。在住房决策中，还必须考虑更广泛的居住环境（即邻里、社区、地理位置）以及与住房密切相关的变量（如污名、贫困）。澳大利亚正处于住房危机之中，但如果对住房决策的细微差别和复杂性给予充分关注，危机仍可以以积极的方式得到解决。
