Integrating user needs into passive building design is emerging as an important issue in designing responsive buildings. Integration can promote the performance of buildings and satisfy users' psychological and physical needs. Traditional passive design methods are mainly aimed at addressing the ecological aspects of a design rather than integrating enduser needs into the operational aspects of the building. Thus there is an urgent need for a new design approach that integrates end-user needs with passive design strategies. This paper aims to introduce a methodology that has been used to propose a conceptual usercentred passive building design (UCPBD) model. This methodology can be distinguished from other methodologies in the sense that it comprises passive design strategies, usercentred design processes and user-centred design attributes in a way that helps the designer to fulfil user needs at the design stage.

“…The involvement of low-SES families should be supported from the very beginning of the whole programme planning process, to create a better understanding of the issues they perceive (Carlson et al, 2006; Kahraman, 2010; Scheerder, Van der Broucke, & Saan, 2003). Achieving this requires striking a balance between top-down processes initiated by the interventionists and bottom-up processes initiated by the practitioners who work with low-SES families, so as to ensure a tailored programme development and implementation process (Van Kann, Jansen, De Vries, De Vries, & Kremers, 2015).…”

Purpose: This study aimed to identify opportunities to improve the current health and social situation of low socioeconomic status (SES) families and to gain a better understanding of the main needs regarding health promotion. Low-SES families were approached to participate in a photovoice study. Method: The study took place in the municipality of Vaals, which is located in the southernmost part of the Netherlands. A diverse group of ten people from eight different families took about 150 photographs within their community on topics they considered important for their health and quality of life. This was followed by individual interviews and a focus group interview. Results: Four main needs were identified: meeting each other, helping each other, feeling safe and being mobile. The photographs showed that health-related themes had low priority for these families. Conclusion: The low-SES families focused on upstream factors relating to independence, self-resilience and a sense of belonging, to help them cope with their current situation. This study represents a first step towards the development of a community approach to health promotion in low-SES families.

“…Currently, greater emphasis is being placed on possibilities to include the target group in the process of developing and implementing health promotion programs, based on what the community itself regards as important, in order to prevent mismatch failures (Movisie, 2012a; National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, 2017). The involvement of low-SES families should be supported from the very beginning of the whole program planning process, to create a better understanding of the issues they perceive (Carlson et al, 2006;Kahraman, 2010;Scheerder et al, 2003). Achieving this requires striking a balance between top-down processes initiated by the interventionists and bottom-up processes initiated by the practitioners who work with low-SES families, so as to ensure a tailored program development and implementation process (Van Kann et al, 2015).…”

“…Despite the many well-intended health promotion programs, the broader living situation and the needs of the low-SES groups are often inadequately taken into account, and therefore these programs often show low participation by members of the low-SES group and high levels of drop out (Salmi et al, 2017). It is still a challenge to expend more effort to include low-SES groups in the community engagement process of developing, implementing, and evaluating health promotion programs from the very beginning (Kahraman, 2010). The higher level of involvement of, and partnership with, the low-SES groups implies a central focus on their needs, and balancing between top-down knowledge and processes introduced by professionals and bottom-up perceived needs and work processes of low-SES groups (Bloch et al, 2014).…”

The city hall that I visited first was this glorious, restored building, the kind that is often to be seen in Vaals. Imagine the famous three-country point with the labyrinth, the large towers with the amazing view over Vaals and the hilly landscape. And these idyllic landscapes with the walking and cycling tracks and beautiful old architecture, and of course the delicious ice cream for which I frequently visited Vaals when I was younger. My impression was the same as when I was little and that is described almost everywhere on the internet as 'this idyllic town'… Excited and a bit nervous, this time I entered the municipality that I had been visiting since my early childhood. But today I was wearing a different pair of glasses. The glasses of a researcher with the aim of initiating and exploring community engagement processes. I was going to work with families living below or around the poverty line. Although it does not seem to be the case at first glance, poverty is an issue in Vaals. While getting to know Vaals, the professionals employed there, and some of the families involved, the contradiction between 'this idyllic town' and the underlying issue of poverty became more visible to me. I had discovered the 'two faces of Vaals'. Poverty from a historical point of view: how did it get this far? The municipality of Vaals (Vallis) was first mentioned in historical records in the year 1041. After that, it took until the 18th century before Vaals became visible again in the records. In that time, Vaals was known for its thriving industr...
