Abstract

Bottom-up initiatives can be found in every part of society. These initiatives try to find a way to implement a unique way of functioning on their own account often formed out of discontent with existing structures. The urgency of sustainable development is present in every part of society and these initiatives can be drivers of large scale innovation. This thesis focuses on one community initiative based in the province of Groningen. To establish how community initiatives are enabled or restrained through governmental policies a qualitative research has been executed. Data has been utilized to answer the research questions. Current policies provide a vision for an increase of shared responsibility. However, community initiatives are included in negotiations after a framework is set. This results in missed opportunities of innovative developments created by community initiatives. A future vision on climate adaptation is currently in development and this provides an opportunity to apply a bottom-linked approach.
