Abstract
This study combines the framework of the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and System
Dynamic (SD) to analyze the gas transition in the province of Gelderland. The data from two Group Model Building workshops map out the structure that is responsible for policy
resistance and answer the following two research questions: how is the system structured that is responsible for policy resistance in the gas transition among homeowners in the province of Gelderland? and what can explain the presence of policy resistance among homeowners in the gas transition in the province of Gelderland? The results of the study show how insufficient presence of good information provision, lack of regulation from municipalities and financial attractiveness slow down the pace of the transition. The conclusions for both approaches used are different. The Multi-Level Perspective can be seen as a filter to apply on
high leverage points identified using System Dynamics to increase the quality of the results and show if the high leverage points of a model can be changed, considering their level in the Socio-Technical System. Furthermore, the workshops resulted in feasible policy options generated by the participants to apply on high leverage points in the model. Further research
can invite a larger and varied number of homeowners and build on the combination of the two
approaches suggested.
