title: An analysis of the opportunities and  challenges of Tiny House adoption in the  northern Netherlands
creator: Bertrand, Hugo
description: In the context of an ever-growing demand for housing, this research considers the   challenges/opportunities faced by TH adopters in the northern Netherland. The aim is to establish what   factors have the most significant impact on Tiny House initiatives, and to highlight what can be   improved. The research distinguishes between the following three major factors, namely the role of the   municipality, the importance of communities, as well as the impact of location. To answer the research   questions qualitative research methods were used, relying on in-depth interviews with 5 different Tiny   House initiatives in the northern Netherlands. Findings include that municipalities play a crucial role,   being instrumental in accessing land and allowing for some flexibility relating to building code   compliance. Moreover, communities are highly influential as well, due to increased bargaining power   and the sharing of amenities. The location turns out to be less significant, as initiatives usually get   assigned a plot of land by the local authorities.
