The influence of seating arrangements on the feeling of community. A case study of the Noorderplantsoen, Groningen. ispublished: unpub full_text_status: public abstract: In an increasingly digital era, social interactions in public spaces are declining. The research problem identifies a research gap in the relationship between seating arrangements and the feeling of community for this specific location, the Noorderplantsoen. The research aims to explore this relationship between seating and the feeling of community through a mixed research method consisting of a literature review, online survey, and on-site observations. A multiple linear regression is performed, using the survey output. The findings show that there is a significant relationship between the frequency of seating usage the quality of seating, and the perceived sense of community. Further research is needed to explore how different kinds of seating can influence the sense of community. date: 2024 pages: 44 thesis_type: bachelor degree_programme: TP tutors_name: Miller, C.A. tutors_organization: Fac.
