Abstract
This research examined how the liveability of the community of the Noorderplantsoen, a public park in Groningen, can be safeguarded in regard to the visitor pressure of the Noorderplantsoen. To answer this research question, a survey was conducted among 16 residents of the community. The survey showed that most people like living next to the Noorderplantsoen and that they find it an important factor of the community. However, the survey also showed that people experience various forms of disturbance from visitors. The municipality of Groningen has various measures in place to reduce the visitor pressure and to create a balance. The survey showed that the carrying capacity of the area is not sufficient to allow the highest level of liveability. The research has also shown that displacement can occur due to the visitor pressure. The research concluded that community resilience can be the tool to get to a balance and create a liveable environment for the community of the Noorderplantsoen. Further research is suggested to confirm the occurrence of displacement and to deepen the understanding of the effects of active measures.
