Workshops with residents & stakeholders

The kick-off with the Lokstadt stakeholders took place in December 2022. On the one hand, the workshop served to get to know each other and identify roles. On the other hand, initial ideas for interventions in Lokstadt were collected.

In January 2023, workshops were organized with the residents of Lokstadt on two evenings. The workshops served to identify the needs of the residents and the areas in which they see potential for more sustainable lifestyles. Together with the residents, we analyzed problems in a total of five areas and developed possible solutions. A total of 16 exciting ideas emerged from the workshops with stakeholders and residents. In particular, it emerged that there is a desire for better offers and opportunities for using bicycles and that there is a great desire for more interaction between residents. This could be in the form of swapping/loaning items or joint activities, events and meeting spaces.

The intervention ideas from the workshops were then evaluated by the ZHAW researchers based on the following criteria: Prioritization of residents, effectiveness in terms of energy or_{CO2 reduction}, support for sustainable lifestyles, relevance for research and feasibility in the Lokstadt. The last criterion of feasibility was assessed together with the stakeholders.
