Action research on local community action in Ein-Hod, Israel
Supported by the 2011 Smaller-Vinikov grant for environmental research, Yoav Egozi will be examining the implementation of the Transition model in Israel. It investigates the factors that influence local residents to act, and the effects of this activity on them and on the wider community. This research represents the first application of the Transition approach within Israel.
The study takes a case study approach, using qualitative methods and an action research orientation. It takes place in Ein-Hod, an artists' village on the Carmel Mountain that was badly damaged in the 2010 Carmel fire. The researcher generates the process in collaboration with a core group of local residents.
The project is a masters study being undertaken in the Porter School of Environmental Studies and the PEC Lab at Tel Aviv University.
