For the Municipality of Veldhoven, Clappform carries out the Integrated Neighbourhood Scan in the districts of Cobbeek and D’Ekker to improve the living environment for older residents. By combining objective data with residents’ experiences, it creates a current and broadly supported picture of what is going on in both districts.

Goal
Improving the living environment for older residents
CBS key figures per district and neighbourhood

This gives the municipality insight into, among other things, social cohesion, mobility, meeting places and the quality of the physical environment. The results form a basis for district visions, the Housing Programme and concrete improvement actions at district and neighbourhood level. In this way, the municipality moves from insight to analysis and from analysis to action, and pursues proactive policy.
The Veldhoven districts of Cobbeek and D’Ekker are home to a relatively large number of older residents. Compared with districts with a younger population, older residents here experience more loneliness, which is linked to their limited mobility. The data on mobility, health, liveability and facilities was spread across various sources and was not updated often enough to steer by. As a result, there was no current, complete and broadly supported picture of what is going on in the districts. The challenge for the Municipality of Veldhoven and Clappform: combine the objective data with residents’ experiences and use it to draw up a district approach for an active and social living environment.
The Integrated Neighbourhood Scan shows the living environment at municipality, district and neighbourhood level in one dashboard. The application visualises the social and physical characteristics of each area based on the RIVM’s Basisset of Healthy Living Environment Indicators. This allows the Municipality of Veldhoven to make decisions based on a combination of public and local data.
Within the Integrated Neighbourhood Scan, the municipality can, among other things:
combine current district and neighbourhood data with resident signals
analyse themes such as loneliness, mobility, green space and meeting places
show bottlenecks and opportunities per street or area
link participation input directly to objective data in one dashboard
prioritise area-based measures with support from the neighbourhood
integrate results into district visions, implementation plans and the Housing Programme
export reports for use in policy, governance or by partners
Example of the solution, with fictional data.
The Integrated Neighbourhood Scan in Veldhoven was set up in collaboration with ZonMw projects. More information is available on the ZonMw project page.
Municipalities work on a wide range of themes: housing and liveability, sustainability, safety and the social domain. These themes touch on area development and call for current, reliable data.
When allocating resources, prioritising policy interventions and monitoring neighbourhood developments, current insights help municipalities make well-founded choices and adjust course.
Clappform offers municipalities one modular data platform that connects existing systems and data sources, checks the data on every load and runs thematic dashboards on top of it that match policy questions.
