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
