An ethnographic research project exploring the development of Lammas ecovillage (Wales) Based on participating observation and semi structured interviews findings explore: conflicts originated in external structural features and incompatible values and ideals.

Group culture and a lack of mechanisms to deal with conflict reducing opportunities for future development.
