This
research used an action research process to examine the cohousing model and
to explore the linkages between its social and physical patterns.
It relied on qualitative formal analysis of architectural drawings
and photographs to describe the physical setting of a case study
community and on experiential methods such as participant observation
and interviews to document the behaviors of its residents. The inquiry
centered on the desired interaction and on the design features of
the community involved in the development and consolidation of any of
those behaviors.
The
linkages between the social and physical patterns observed in the case study
community are explained in light of environment-behavior theories.
Results showed that the social contact design strategies implemented
in the case study community facilitate social contact among neighbors
and foster feelings of safety within the community; and to some extent
contribute to existence of a neighborhood support network and allow
residents to participate in community governance and maintenance.
Results suggest that cohousing may be a viable model for creating
socially and environmentally healthy neighborhoods with a sense of
community.
