Impact template for "Practical instruments for inclusive policy-making Inclusive planning practices for Amsterdam's transition vision for heat."

Her research was conducted in 2022, as her Master’s Thesis Urban and Regional Planning (MURP), University of Amsterdam. 

Her data collection consisted of:
- Document analysis of the transition vision, national policy documents on energy related policiesbackground information from the municipality of Amsterdam to understand its visions.

- In depth interviews with local executers working for the municipality, participants from Hispanic communities, community experts, and more. 

-  Besides reaching out to local organizations, the researcher also actively participated in some
activities in order to better observe the unit of analysis through activities that were currently
happening in the Bijlmer. This also helped to get closer to the community, and gain better
knowledge about the plans that are happening on neighbourhood level. 

Next to her research paper, she has developed a policyplan: Practical instruments for inclusive
policy-making Inclusive planning practices for Amsterdam's transition vision for heat:
recommendations to support affordability and cooperation within marginalized
communities in the Bijlmer. It includes 8 recommendations.

She hopes that those in charge at the government will implement her ideas in policymaking, or use her guidelines as an inspiration. 

She expects that these ideas will make the transition towards sustainable heat more  inclusive for Hispanic communities in the Bijlmer.
