Abstract
People their neighbourhood is foremost a place where they live and do their day to day activities. In general, neighbourhoods have many similar characteristics like social- and physical infrastructures, however, over time they change differently. These changes and processes and can roughly be separated into three approaches namely; ecological, behavioural and institutional approach. In this research these approaches will be combined in order to reconstruct neighbourhood change in Neerbosch-Oost, a neighbourhood that has a negative reputation and consist of a large part of social housing. Together this led to the following research question: How is neighbourhood change experienced and perceived by stayers, in- and out-movers, and how is this influenced by the social housing sector and reputation of Neerbosch-Oost? This study has resulted in many results, some of those are in line with other research and some results are surprising. Conclusively, the neighbourhood has transformed from a Dutch working-class neighbourhood to a multicultural area which is accessible for many people that are in need of a house. This transformation is not experienced similar throughout the neighbourhood. In the last couple years it is experienced that Neerbosch-Oost is developing in an upward direction and I hope it continues to do so.
