"ECOVILLAGES AS CATALYSTS FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY TRANSITION IN THE GLOBAL NORTH: A CASE STUDY ON WOLDWIJK'S ROLE IN CHALLENGING THE WESTERN DOMINANT SOCIAL PARADIGM"^^ . "In the context of the ongoing climate crisis and unsustainable living practices, \r\nintentional communities emerged as alternative models for sustainable living. Among these, \r\necovillages stand out as experimental spaces for exploring self-sufficiency, sustainable \r\npractices, and innovative lifestyles. This study focuses on the potential role of ecovillages, \r\nusing Woldwijk as a case study, in challenging the Western Dominant Social Paradigm \r\n(DSP) towards sustainability.\r\nThe research encompasses ethnographic research within Woldwijk. Ecovillages like \r\nWoldwijk are envisioned as potential catalysts for societal transformation, challenging the \r\ndominant paradigms of continuous economic growth and consumption. Woldwijk, situated in \r\nthe north of the Netherlands, operates under a temporary lease arrangement with a \r\nmunicipality, making it a unique living laboratory for sustainable practices. This research \r\nexplores how Woldwijk's initiatives and practices align with the principles of sustainability, its \r\nchallenges, and opportunities for integration into mainstream society.\r\nThe study reveals that while Woldwijk displays a high degree of inviting openness, \r\nfostering connections within the broader community remains a challenge. The allocation of \r\nprivate space influences social engagement, suggesting that communal spaces could \r\nenhance interaction. Woldwijk's embeddedness in the region is growing, albeit slowly, with \r\nactivities enhancing the liveability of the surroundings. This recommends tighter \r\ncollaboration between the municipality of Groningen and Woldwijk. The findings also \r\nhighlight practices with the potential for translation. The research concludes that ecovillages \r\nlike Woldwijk exhibit the potential to challenge the Western DSP by promoting sustainable \r\npractices and innovations. While not a panacea, they offer insights into alternative \r\nsustainable living. This study emphasizes the need for greater collaboration between \r\necovillages and mainstream institutions to maximize their impact."^^ . "2023" . . . . . . . "Ruben"^^ . "Bleeker"^^ .
