university curriculum
I have hunted around and wonder how the distinction vs. habitat should be rendered.
UE HISTOIRE ET CULTURE DE L’ARCHITECTURE ET DE L’URBANISME H4 - 6 ECTS – 78 H
H4A / Questions d'architecture au XIX° siècle - H4B / La ville en image – H4C / Sociologie de l’habiter
Le cours sur le XIX° siècle est la continuation du parcours chronologique tandis que celui sur la ville en image a pour enjeu de donner les premières bases d'une culture théorique et critique dans le domaine de l'urbanisme et de la ville, préparant ainsi le thème du studio de projet du semestre suivant (P5). La sociologie de l’habiter vise à s’initier aux différentes démarches, théories et analyses des modalités de l’habiter en relation avec l'enseignement de studio de projet P4.

: wouldn't the same go for this? Ie, surely it too would back translate as "sociologie du logement"?/sounds plausible! However, the very few g-hits for Sociology of Dwelling seem to deal with housing shortages, architecture, etc, and almost all are the same

Thanks Carol. Not in the singular, where it can mean the action or state of living in a place or the dwelling unit itself. Also, not "logement", but "habitation" if this were just about dwellings/housing as environment rather than provision.

: I think also that there's a link to Heidegger here. http://www.espacestemps.net/articles/un-point-sur-lrsquohabi... Google autofills "Heidegger" when you search for l'habiter.

Thanks writeaway. Another interesting reference. Of course, we don't know whether the writer of the source text intended to refer to Heidegger.

urban sociology?
This could be a solution for the "l'". In the context of the 19th century, it makes sense.

: Too general and that would be "sociologie urbaine" http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociologie_urbaine

(Sociology of) Habitation
I haven't had time to read the following article, but it looks as though it might make the distinction you're looking for:
Habitat, society, sociology of habitation
hklj.kirjastot.fi/en-GB/sanat/?...Habitat%2C...sociology+of+habitation
Areas with detached houses, sociology of habitation · 352.1 · Big cities, urban sociology gen. 352.1 · Birth place, sociology of countryside gen. 352.1 · Birth place ...

Hmmm! That article is a long list of various types of 'sociology, in which it seems to be distinguishing very finely between many related types of sociology, e.g., habitation, urban, rural... even sociology of housing!
So far (scrolling down a little), sociology of habitation includes: 'alternative lifestyles', 'areas with detached houses', 'collective housing', 'communities', 'cozyness' (!), 'local communities'...
I'm wondering if "Sociology of Housing" mightn't in fact be closer to the mark.
Habitat, society, sociology of habitation

B D Finch
: I believe that "Sociology of Housing" would be "sociologie du logement".//N.B. the difference between "dwellings" = places (caves, houses, caravans) people live in; and "dwelling" = the action or state of living in those places OR the house, flat or cave.

yes, perhaps I'll stick to my original "Sociology of Habitation" I see this as dealing not only with where people live (dwellings) but also how they live

Discussion
What does Habitus mean?
Habitus simply means who you are as a person. It describes who you are today based on your upbringing and the people and situations that has influenced you while growing up.
