Research protocol
Within the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) we have set up a research working group. In this context I have worked out a research guide how to approach ecovillages, a research protocol and information on the state of the art. It is available on the website of the GEN research working group.

Empirische Zugänge zu Intentionalen Gemeinschaften
Furthermore, I have some material from teaching students in intentional communities that helps creating an own (mostly qualitative) empirical study in intentional communities. These documents are only available in German.
Die folgenden Dokumente unterstützen eine eigene (qualitative) Forschungsstudie und Interviews in intentionalen Gemeinschaften zu entwickeln. Über die Jahre habe ich in Forschung und Lehre spezielle Zugänge zu intentionalen Gemeinschaften entwickelt, teilweise in Zusammenarbeit mit Kollegen.
