Analysis of professional training activities for ATHIS

Abstract

Technical assistance and advice for social housing has been practiced by architects and other professionals since the 1970s with different actors and institutional arrangements. It is desirable that it involves interdisciplinary professional groups to carry out housing construction/improvement, in environments that favor autonomy in the production of space, with tools to empower the community, creating new practices for the production of a community space. One of the factors that determines the efficiency of a ATHIS action is the technical capacity of the team. To this end, there has been an increase in the provision of courses aimed at professional training in ATHIS. This study seeks to identify content gaps for new training courses in HIS. To this end, a review of the literature on professional training will be carried out, followed by an observation of the approaches of the organizations offering the courses, identifying gaps, thematic axes and the degree of depth. As a case study, we looked at 11 architects who worked on an ATHIS course. We hope to identify key issues to be explored in order to improve the work of professionals.
