Oranjewijk - Living Together, Researching Together

The Oranjebuurt and Noorderplantsoenbuurt are two neighborhoods in the Oranjewijk area, located in the northwest of Groningen. Each neighborhood has its own demographics, challenges, and unique character. Municipal research (such as the Buurtkompas) shows that social cohesion in both neighborhoods is declining. What exactly is causing this? What factors play a role? These are questions we aim to explore together.

In Oranjewijk - Living Together, Researching Together, students from the Bachelor’s program in Communication and Information Sciences are conducting a door-to-door survey in the Oranjebuurt and Noorderplantsoenbuurt. The themes in the survey have been developed based on input from residents and partner organizations, with representatives taking part in a research committee.

This project is a continuation of an earlier study conducted in the Schildersbuurt.
