TY - UNPB N2 - The Achterhoek is a rural region in the Netherlands that has been struggling with population decline in the last couple of decades. However, since the covid-19 pandemic population increased for the first time in years due to migrants from the Randstad. The local population is not content about this. This research found out through a questionnaire that Achterhoekers have a strong sense of the rural idyll, high levels of place attachment, and a strong local identity. According to previous studies, these factors result in a negative attitude towards the city in its inhabitants. This partly explains the unsupportive reactions of the Achterhoekers towards the newcomers from the Randstad TI - A paradise, but not for the Randstad: How the existence of the idea of a rural idyll among Achterhoekers leads to a negative attitude towards migrants from the Randstad.
