It's in the social network: The Social Neighbourhood model to unravel local social structures for liveable and safe neighbourhoods
Abstract Fast growth of cities decreases the quality of life in these places. In response, Municipalities install policies aiming to improve local livability. While literature suggests social structures to have a defining impact on policy effectiveness, current evaluation metrics are not able to take this into account. This paper presents the Social Neighbourhood model, an agent-based model used to simulate and explore how livability changes in a neighbourhood given various social structures and policies. The model is applied to a neighbourhood in The Hague, Netherlands. The main result of the modelling experiments is that social structures have a very strong influence on whether or not a policy to improve livability is effective. Three hypotheses, concerning this relationship between social structures, livability, and policy interventions are drawn up as a starting point for future research.
Highlights ABMs are valuable to study liveability and safety micro-macro interactions in neighbourhoods. Governments need to understand local social structures to design effective policies. Social structures determine how citizens perceive liveability and safety of their neighbourhood.
