The Interaction Between Sociology and Civil Engineering

The Interaction Between Sociology and Civil Engineering explores the dynamic relationship between social structures and the design, implementation, and impact of civil infrastructure. By bridging the gap between technical planning and human-centered concerns, this book examines how sociological theories can inform infrastructure development, urban planning, disaster resilience, and public participation in engineering projects. Through interdisciplinary insights, it highlights the importance of understanding community behavior, social equity, and cultural context in achieving sustainable and inclusive engineering solutions. The book is an essential resource for engineers, planners, and social scientists aiming to build environments that are both structurally sound and socially responsive.
