For the vast majority of households, the household building itself, be it an apartment dwelling or family house, represents a large majority of an individual's identity, life work, community, savings, and wealth, as defined by the sum of all their assets. Of course, such an important purchase also means much more than just the monetary value.
This paper aims to explore the concerns, experiences, and best educational (Dewey, Lonka) and related behavioral theories (Bandura, Csikszentmihalyi) to pave the way for the question of how to design a Self-Efficacy-informed and Flow-inspired learning experience design on house acquisition to increase wealth and sustainability based on current economics (Raworth, Fullerton) and sustainability research (Dixson - Declève et al.) Concepts surrounding place and the importance of the relationships which connect us (Buchanan) were considered, as well as how we can uncover and integrate values leading to more satisfying lives and more sustainable behaviors.
The Research Method was via 16 qualitative interviews, 10 of which were conducted in France, with questions stemming from concepts and theories from the literature review. A thematic analysis in 6 steps as defined by the inductive and deductive approach method of Braun and Clarke was used on the 10 French interviews. Then, in order to integrate values, attitudes and beliefs leading to action and set the stage for the design to follow, Saldana’s value coding was used for another analysis of the same10 French interviews.
The findings resulted in a practical example on how to start the design of a Self-Efficacy, and Flow inspired Educational Program on sustainable houses. They also revealed that we need more research on what role housing will play in the future of more sustainable economies and communities, how houses also represent a system of values and relationships incorporating financial and non-financial wealth, defining and valuing satisfaction and sustainability, and that more educational programs are needed to help people make better and more informed choices.
