full_text_status: public
abstract: Despite legal standards and measures to fight health inequality, it remains an issue in certain Dutch neighbourhoods. Current health inequality assessment strategies are not complete and the Netherlands therefore needs an improved measurement approach to facilitate planners. This study describes and examines such a tool called perceived proximity by means of measuring citizens’ place experiences with regards to access to health-related resources. Using semi- structured interviews and thematic analysis, the social structures determining one’s place experiences are studied and compared between socio-economic groups. Planners need to have insight on the causes of varying place experiences in order to combat health inequality on the neighbourhood level, and Perceived Proximity can provide them with this to make valuable plans in an efficient manner.
