Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic was a global health, social and housing crisis. City lockdowns, stay-at-home and social distancing requirements were preventive restrictions increasing residents’ loneliness in regular housing stock. Collaborative housing is an alternative community-led housing form where people live in complete apartments whilst sharing common spaces and resources, enabling socializing and mutual support. The paper reflects on the process of applying Bhaskar’s four-planar social being for designing a methodology to evaluate residents’ coping responses in collaborative housing during the pandemic. The methodology includes iterative stages such as integrative literature review, refining the conceptual framework and research questions, designing, pilot-testing and improving mixed-methods data collection tools and collecting empirical data. Data analysis focuses on (a) residents’ material transactions with the common spaces and the neighbourhood, (b) social interactions between residents in everyday life,(c) social relations with institutions and (d) the stratification of personality, which for this paper implies how residents influenced each other’s motivations, habits and agency. This approach enabled analysis at the intersection of housing affordability, social integration and health. The paper sheds light on the pros and challenges of having critical realism as a foundation for inter- and transdisciplinary mixed-methods research.
