The document discusses a PhD research project studying the role of occupants in environmental changes to housing in the Netherlands. The research goal is to understand how occupants can influence sustainable housing transitions. The theoretical framework uses a social practices approach to examine how rules, resources, and social contexts shape consumer practices around renovating kitchens. The research will involve a quick scan of the kitchen provision system, focus groups with providers and consumers, and a survey of purchasing and renovation practices. It provides an overview of the various actors and modes of kitchen provision, from full renovations to partial updates, and how innovations may be occurring at different levels of the system.
