Abstract
Through geographical perspective, this study explores the recent rise in cafe culture and its effects on sense of community (SoC) via a case study of three different student apartments in Groningen. Following distance decay principles, farther things would be less affected leading to the hypothesis that the farther student housings would have less SoC. The research is conducted with a mixed method approach that shows statistically insignificant results and a reverse trend of SoC, but revealing important themes in the qualitative aspect. It is found that proximity does not have a great effect on SoC, but propinquity which incorporates time to proximity affects the building of socialisation, which can lead to building SoC. Proximity also distorts views of accessibility through additional external factors that are considered when things are farther.
