ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: In the province of Groningen there is a problem with human-induced earthquakes. Loppersum is often mentioned as the epicentrum of these earthquakes. The population faces several impacts due to the earthquakes. Economic, environmental and mental problems. According to previous research, earthquakes do not influence place attachment. This paper investigates if this statement is also true for Loppersum, using a quantitative study. The study shows that these findings are also valid for Loppersum.
This research shows that earthquakes affect the house level of place attachment, but not the village level of place attachment. Showing that Loppersum does not differ from the rest of Groningen. Although there are some differences, the main findings are in line with earlier research.
