Perrine Dethier et Jean-Marie Halleux AESOP 2018 Special Session: Comparing Planning Cultures MEASURING PLANNING CULTURES FOR CO-HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
CO-HOUSING Definition Co-housing is a type of collaborative housing in which residents actively participate in the design and operation of their own neighbourhoods. Co- housing residents are consciously committed to living as a community. The physical design encourages both social contact and individual space (The Cohousing Association of the United States, n.d.) 2 notions: building together and sharing spaces Increasing all over Europe since the 2000s . French-speaking Belgium (Wallonia and Brussels): the evolution there remains limited. Manny obstacles: land acquisition, planning permission, time investment Planning culture is important: Acceptability of consultants and cooperation between co-owner
EXPERIMENTAL ECONOMICS Definition: Experiments motivated by economics questions 2 experiments + 1 survey Trust game (Acceptability of consultants) Minimum-effort game (Cooperation for co-housing development) Survey (Co-housing perception) 3 Regions: French-speaking Belgium North of Europe South of Europe Participants 422 students

SURVEY 9. 1. Have you heard about cohousing before? 9. Generally speaking. would you say that most people can be trusted or that you can t be too careful in dealing with people? 1.

CONCLUSION Methodology Difficulties: To recruit participant: issues of data privacy and security (Maastricht, Nijmegen, Liverpool, Aachen, Dortmund, Paderborn and Bielefeld) Balance between contextualization and complexity Results are in line with others studies and with other surveys Co-housing Lack of knowledge Distrust of consultants
