Abstract
This paper conducts research on the effect of the corona crisis on inhabitants of two districts in Amsterdam; South and South-east. These districts are resided by the inhabitants with, respectively, the highest and lowest average incomes per capita in the city of Amsterdam. This study is performed to gain a better understanding of how corona affects the well-being of citizens in Amsterdam, to answer the research question formed: To what extent do the measures of the corona crisis affect the well-being of citizens in Amsterdam South and Amsterdam South-east? A total number of seventeen inhabitants, nine participants from South and eight from South-east, have been interviewed on their views on their state of social justice along three factors; social, financial and cultural capital, and which of these factors they valued the most. Results show mainly a difference in perception of how capital was affected by the crisis, where inhabitants in South-east were experiencing more radical changes in their capital than residents of Zuid. On the notion of social capital there was mainly a difference in the perception of how it changed between residents from the two districts. Financial capital was more stable for respondents from South than for the participants from South-east, what resulted in a reported less increase in cultural capital, because their lives remained quite the same. The results of this research should inspire and trigger more research in the effect of the corona crisis, since the case studies provided in this paper function as an example in the diversity and complexity of issues throughout a city, which house inhabitants of different scales of income.
