Tiny Houses Survey Results 2016 Tiny House Solutions, in collaboration with Edinburgh International Science Festival and Zero Waste Town Dunbar, conducted research into people’s views on living in smaller homes particularly tiny houses and this
report outlines the findings of this survey. The survey was conducted over a period (6 months) and was placed on online sites which had a tiny house focus and the link was given to a small proportion of the visitors who expressed an interest in tiny houses at the tiny house village exhibit and panel discussion as part of the Science Festival in April 2016. This survey was specifically targeted at people who were interested in tiny houses with the aim of finding out why this was. Background.
Tiny houses and smaller sustainable living solutions for residential and recreational use appear to be growing in popularity worldwide, especially in America, where a ‘tiny house movement’ has sprung up as a response to the housing and financial crisis felt across the country. A growing number of people in America are looking to resolve their housing issues by looking to acquire and live in a ‘tiny house’ or small sustainable structure and the movement has a growing following. A housing crisis is also underway in Scotland and as part of Edinburgh International S cience Festival’s focus on the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design the festival erected a tiny homes village in the centre of Edinburgh to instigate thoughts and discussion around what constitutes a home and on whether small scale living can be the answer to current housing and population needs. There was also a panel discussion on the subject at another event in the festival f estival called, Tiny Home Sweet Home. http://www.sciencefestival.co.uk/event-details/tiny-homes-village The newly formed Tiny House Solutions Community group had a representative on this panel to give the community view on the issues people face in the housing crisis and they began a survey at the festival which was continued online in collaboration with Zero Waste Town Dunbar who were looking at ways to reduce waste in their locality by exploring if tiny/small scale living was neede d or wanted and whether this could be a way to encourage sustainable waste reduction behavioural change in households. Aim.
The survey aims to explore whether there is a need for tiny and small scale living and why people would consider them as residential or recreational dwellings. It further hopes to uncover the barriers people are facing with housing and what their preferences would be if they were to have the opportunity to live in a smaller structure. The findings of this survey will be used to add to the limited knowledge in this area in Scotland and the UK and to work towards potential solutions to address the housing crisis for those in need and to reduce waste and aid sustainable behaviour change.

Tiny houses come with a variety of options for on or off-grid living. On-grid means you would be hooked up to the mains water, electric or gas supplies and the sewage system. Being off -grid means you have to supply these services through other means (e.g. solar panels, gas canisters, water tanks, compost toilets) Please indicate whether you would consider living in an on or off- grid tiny house or cabin.
