After the Second World War, the Flemish region was confronted with massive suburbanisation. The privately owned, detached single family house became the dominant building type located in residential subdivisions, ribbon developments or as piecemeal developments scattered through the landscape. This PhD dissertation focuses on the widespread phenomenon of residential underuse: houses inhabited by fewer people than the surface and number of bedrooms would allow for. Today, the concerns about the sustainability of the underused suburban housing stock are growing. The social concerns regard the maladjustment of these large dwellings located in low density residential environments for the ageing population. In addition, because of the high amount of underused houses inhabited by empty nesters, young families with children in search of an affordable house in a green setting cant get access to them. The environmental concerns regard the high ecological footprint of these underused houses: outdated on energy performance and underused, the energy use of these houses per inhabitant is high. The underuse of the housing stock also results in higher surfaces of extensively built on land. The economic concerns regard the inefficient use of the available housing stock and the growing gap between demand and offer. Because of the ageing population and the decrease in family sizes, the demand for spacious single family houses in suburban Flanders will decrease in the future. The goal of this PhD dissertation is twofold: gaining insight in the experiences of people living in underused houses and formulating appropriate policies for a transformation of the underused suburban housing stock. In line with the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), underuse is approached as a process and the underused home is conceptualized as a dynamic network of infinitely interconnected actors, including the underused house and the overhoused inhabitant. For our twofold research goal, ANT is combined with the emancipatory agenda of Critical Theory. The research is based on an interdisciplinary perspective with material stemming from 61 home visits and interviews with home owners predominantly empty nesters living in underused, detached single family houses in 10 municipalities geographically dispersed over the Flemish region, supplemented with 20 interviews with key informants. The diagnostic part of the dissertation focuses on the intersection of the homes materiality, imaginaries and home making practices of empty nesters. When children leave the parental house, suddenly the normal functioning of the home is disrupted and this is reflected in the use and appearance of the house. But this unravelling of existing relations doesnt lead to transformations overcoming the typology of the single family house. The suburban home proves to be a very stable network, largely resistant to changes in the household situation. Based on the fieldwork, the image of ageing home owners for whom life in the underused house is problematic can be refined. In Flanders, there certainly is a privileged group of home owners who are in good health and have sufficient financial resources to age relatively trouble-free in the spacious family house. These houses fulfil an important role both in the lives of the empty nesters and in the extended family life. With regard to the phenomenon of residential underuse, multiple strategies are currently applied or discussed focusing either on the overhoused people or on the underused houses: home care to allow people to age in place, move-in-time to stimulate the elderly to move out to an adapted dwelling, house subdivision to subdivide or share spacious dwellings, and neighbourhood transformation which involves a spatially selective transformation of suburban neighbourhoods. Based on the research, the image of sedentary villa owners not willing to renounce their spacious dwelling can be refined. The desire for independence and self-sufficiency surpasses the emotional bond with the house or neighbourhood: empty nesters in general plan to move out when the underused house would become too much of a burden. A public support analysis on different neighbourhood transformation strategies reconfiguration, replacement or removal shows the largest support for (or least resistance against) the reconfiguration strategy consisting of incremental infill through house and plot subdivision. However, the interest to subdivide the private dwelling is rather limited, mainly because it is conceived as a privacy infringement. Today, the suburban housing stock proves to be very obdurate resulting of a complex entanglement of very heterogeneous elements such as the materiality of the house, the meaning of home, the local home culture, real estate values, spatial policies, zoning plans, the legislative framework, taxes, and regional and local politics. This PhD dissertation advocates a sustainable reassembling of the suburban housing stock. The term sustainable refers to an improvement of the social, economic and ecological performance of the post war suburban housing stock. The term reassembling refers to a transformation process which deals with both the spatial, social, political and economic aspects of suburban housing, directed at both the overhoused people and the underused houses. The basic principles for this sustainable reassembling are a collaborative planning process, a spatially selective, integral and integrated approach, and a responsibilization of the involved actors.
