Abstract
Governments, civil society, and market are not yet working together to reach the goal of more nature inclusive developments. This thesis research will provide an answer to the main research question: What factors positively influence the transition towards nature inclusive building of small residential neighbourhoods in the Netherlands? At first, nature inclusive building will be explored. A comparative case study analysis is used to identify the differences between the development of a nature inclusive neighbourhood and a regular neighbourhood. This comparative analysis can give insight into the differences in the decision-making process and the nature inclusive measures between both neighbourhoods. The similarities and differences lead to an answer to the main research question. Actors positively influence the transition to nature inclusive building. For example, involving experts and the residents as central actors can positively influence this transition. Sharing knowledge about nature inclusive building and including an ecologist to gain extra knowledge can also positively influence the transition. Next to that, the municipality should have a positive attitude towards nature and biodiversity. Neighbourhoods should have a vision that is nature inclusive and formal rules can be of great importance for making neighbourhoods more nature inclusive. Lastly, involving the residents in the participation process can positively influence the transition towards nature inclusive building in new neighbourhoods.
