Abstract
Tourism has undergone a drastic change in the year 2020 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Jordaan neighbourhood, in Amsterdam, experienced a drop in visitors in 2020. The concept of 'carrying capacity', the tipping point of where a touristic characteristic becomes a nuisance, explains the pressure on society due to tourism in this neighbourhood. To what extent tourism influences the liveability satisfaction in 2020 compared to 2019, will be the main discussion point of this research, with the carrying capacities explaining how. A mixed-method will be used, with the qualitative results functioning as additional supports to the quantitative results. The data was collected through a survey spread out through the study area and interviews with Amsterdam's municipality and the interest group 'Amsterdam Gastvrij'. The qualitative data strengthens the results from the quantitative data. The data set that explains how the physical carrying capacity, the number of tourists, has the most significant influence on liveability satisfaction. This influence weakened from 2019 to 2020. Perhaps more interesting are the capacities that did not influence the liveability satisfaction. The financial and infrastructural carrying capacity have a less direct influence on the residents' daily life than the physical, behavioural, and environmental carrying capacities. This research aims to explain what happens in a year with low tourism figures and point out the carrying capacity that needs consideration.
