Abstract
This research is about the residential satisfaction of citizens who live near a highway. Research has been done to investigate to what extent highways and plans for highway adjustment projects have an influence on residential satisfaction. This question is answered on the basis of literature review, a case study and in-depth interviews. Results from this research are that the citizens are hardly aware of the negative and positive externalities of the highway. Thereby, it turns out that the received information is sufficient and good and that it has no further effect on the residential satisfaction. This applies also to whether the residents have been actively involved. Despite the majority of the respondents have not been actively involved, this has no impact on the residential satisfaction. Therewith, it can be concluded that in this case the highway and the plans in order to adapt this highway hardly affect the residential satisfaction.
