Intentional Sustainable Communities as Laboratories for Social Innovation: an extensive analysis of European experiences

This survey is part of a research being developed at the University of Algarve (Portugal), which seeks to assess the potential of Sustainable Intentional Communities to function as laboratories for social innovation. Specifically, this study seeks to understand how these small-scale community-based initiatives can generate potentially generalizable innovations for broader social models.

The questionnaire has four blocks of questions and filling it should take about 15 minutes. All answers are guaranteed anonymity and the information obtained will be used, exclusively, within the scope of the referred research.

We are aware of the increased requests for responses to online surveys, but due to the fact that this is a cross-sectional study of European countries, it would be impossible to use another methodology. Obtaining valid answers represents one of the most structural moments for the success of the whole project. It is in this sense that we appeal to your participation and we count on your help.

Thanks in advance for your participation.
