Design for Net-Zero Project funded by the British Academy

Key research questions are as follows

 "What is Needed to Inspire & Establish Sustainable Living?"

"How Can the Local Community Engage with Decision Makers?"

To define the research direction, 

we applied quantitative research methods in collaboration with key stakeholders throughout the project.

From our co-creation experience, advisable solutions to the challenges (as our research contributions) include (1) quickly developing or having a well-prepared alternative plan to actively talk to and invite potential participants to the research location, (2) using alternative qualitative research methods such as short semi-structured surveys or interviews to do on-site ‘pop-up’ research in the wild, and (3)  to locate a workshop where is easier to find participants in the ‘pop-up’ way and so gather data that can be clearly communicated to the stakeholders able to design and implement future sustainable development for the local community and the future sustainable design of the local environment and energy provision.
