“…Boldero and Binder [112], for example, have proposed that the model of recursive cultural adaptation (MORCA) comprises just such an integrated approach able to accommodate insights from across disciplines [113], notably psychology, sociology and philosophy. In a similar way to that proposed by SPT, these authors see practices as constituting social structures which establish rules for behavior -as representing the non-conscious "way things are done" -which serve the purpose of defining the relationships between people and their environment.…”

This article, which draws on psychological and sociological theories, argues that if current planning practices are to change to achieve more sustainable and socially affordable housing, planners' current habitual practices and the context in which planning occurs must change. By considering practices that occur in specific contexts, the conditions under which change can occur are delineated. This is achieved by understanding the universal nature of habitual practices and how they are affected by, and reproduce, context. The utility of this approach to changing planning practices is highlighted using two case studies. These involve the shift by builders to using sustainable materials in the construction of a master-planned community and the achievement of water saving targets in one Australian city. Finally, recommendations about how planning practices can be changed, based on the suggested approach, are presented.

“…In fact, researchers are beginning to incorporate these theories into new models. Nevertheless, they require more empirical evidence to determine their success in reducing domestic resource consumption [31,93]. The theoretical differences between the two schools of thought are less relevant when considering interventions and policy recommendations [94].…”

Understanding Resource Consumption in the Home, Community and Society through Behaviour and Social Practice Theories

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The practices and behaviours of individuals influences resource consumption at many scales and are shaped by a multitude of psychological, social, and technical factors. This conceptual paper examines the differences between socio-psychological and social practice theories, building on the Chalk and Cheese debate in the literature. Insight is provided into their potential value in understanding resource consumption studies at different scales: the individual, the home, community, and societal. Each theory has its own qualitative and quantitative methods which allude to different conclusions and recommendations for resource consumption initiatives. We review the debate surrounding the application of both theories, adding our voice to the potential for both theories to be used at different scales and for different time periods, along with comments on the interlocking nature of practices. Design and technology changes can lead to quicker changes in behaviour and practices, whereby socio-psychological theories offer insights into changes in mind frame, values, and social norms.
