Housing and Settlement. Research Conducted by Professor Jolanta Supińska (1944-2022)

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to analyse and synthesise the achievements of Professor Supińska related to housing and settlement. They are related to her multifaceted research on social policy aspiring to improve the existing reality. This attempt is based on the method of research procedure consisting in a review of relevant publications authored or co-authored by Jolanta Supińska. The article aims to prove that these housing and settlement achievements belonging to the humanistic approach to housing research developed after 1989 at the Institute of Social Policy at the University of Warsaw also place Jolanta Supińska in the trend of the Polish School of housing and settlement issues. The subjects of Supińska's works range from housing and social issues to housing and settlement issues to dealing with the flawed paradigm of market economic growth and, consequently, the entire development of civilisation. Thus, these subjects reflect universal values. The analysis and synthesis also indicate that Supińska's works devoted to housing and settlement issues enrich the subject of social policy with a comprehensive spatial approach related to demographic issues. They help to better describe the relationships between social policy and housing and settlement issues as well as their significance in the development of civilisation.
