full_text_status: public
abstract: In this bachelor project research is conducted on the perspectives on taking sustainable measures, mainly focusing on measures related to the energy transition, within one neighbourhood. The central question discussed is: How do inhabitants of De Meeuwen in Groningen perceive their role at neighbourhood level in taking sustainable, energy-related measures? A mixed method of both quantitative and qualitative research is used to give a good overview. In the neighbourhood, there turns out to be a small, willing and interested group of people. The measures they are interested in are mainly solar panels, green roofs and electric cooking. The participants are highly aware of climate change in general and the risks, however they are not aware of the consequences of the goal of the municipality to be CO2 neutral in 2035. The results indicate that citizens perceive their main role to be informed about their behaviour and the effects of their behaviour, taking action according to your ability and resources and inspiring others while doing so. They indicate that they need support, mainly in the form of coordination and inspiration, which can be given for example by a neighbourhood initiative or the municipality.
