abstract: The topic of this research is the change in attitude of long-time residents of the Schildersbuurt neighbourhood in Groningen as a consequence of the increase in noise nuisance caused by student
residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is researched through in-depth interviews with 7 long-time residents of the Schildersbuurt, the project leader dealing with the student nuisance and with the head of the hotline for nuisance of this neighbourhood.
The results show that in some cases the attitude of the long-time residents towards the student residents did in fact worsen due to the situation during the pandemic. Interestingly enough though, the increase in noise nuisance during the pandemic was not the most important factor that caused their attitudes to worsen, as there was sympathy for the student residents who had to cope with a lot of restrictions. Municipal policies that have allowed for increased studentification of the neighbourhood were considered by interviewees as the biggest factor leading to increased nuisance. Thus the municipality and its policies over the last decade get more blame than the actual student residents.
