Changing household behaviours: learning for urban sustainability
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides some reflections on lessons learned from the first five years of the Sustainable Households Programme in New Zealand. This programme is a community education initiative to support the introduction of more sustainable actions in New Zealand households. The paper begins by describing the Programme's development, and then examines the underlying learning theory which contributes to the programme's success. The paper then looks in more detail at the programme’s audience and the subsequent changes they make in their household management as a result of the course. The programme also looks at areas that are harder to address. Finally some suggestions are made for other government agencies thinking about introducing similar programmes. ..
