Feedback and lessons from focus groups Pilot Weesperstraat
Focus groups were held in September to deepen the perception research on the Weesperstraat pilot in Amsterdam. A focus group is a qualitative research method in which participants discuss a specific theme with each other under the guidance of a discussion leader.
These conversations were held with various stakeholders such as residents, entrepreneurs, healthcare parties, logistics and taxi companies, hotels, and educational and cultural institutions. The focus groups have provided a broader picture of how the pilot was experienced by the various target groups and offer recommendations for future experiments and for future spatial and mobility policy in a broader sense.
