"Understanding How Behaviour Is Affected Within WestWyck Eco-Village"
In 2009 WestWyck was approached by French Sociologist researcher Victor Zylberberg from Sciences Po at Toulouse who was undertaking studies into eco-villages. Victor had found WestWyck on the web and asked whether we would be interested in facilitating his research.
WestWyck OC agreed to this request and WestWyck and the Moreland Energy Foundation (MEFL) managed to negotiate additional work experience for Victor at MEFL and he eventually spent three months this year in Brunswick which included in-depth one-on-one interviews with nearly all those living at WestWyck both in the new dwellings and the communal household.
Victor presented his report (in English) to a mixed audience of WestWyckians and MEFLites and the final report is available now to download. We think it provides some insight into WestWyck, sustainability, human behaviour on environmental issues and into Victor himself. We enjoyed having him with us!
