title: The relationship between the direct domestic water consumption and dwelling characteristics of two neighbourhoods in Groningen.
creator: Uffelen, Bregtje van
description: The aim of this research is to find out which dwelling characteristics influence direct domestic water consumption (DDWC) in Groningen. This leads to the research question: To what extent is DDWC in the neighbourhoods the Bloemenbuurt and the De Wijert in Groningen influenced by indoor- and outdoor dwelling characteristics? To answer this research-question a quantitative research method was used. Primary data was collected through a survey. This resulted in 67 useful responses, 30 responses from the Bloemenbuurt and 37 responses from the De Wijert. A two-sample t-test and several multiple linear regressions were conducted. The variables household size, dwelling typology, cistern type and garden size were found to have a significant linear relationship. However, the difference in the means of DDWC between the neighbourhoods was found to be insignificant. The explanation given for this is that the influence of dwelling characteristics exists but is small.
