DRSR Research Context

4 year study into rhythm in Amsterdam Zuidoost

Designing Rhythms for Social Resilience explores new methodologies based on the analysis of rhythms in neighbourhoods, for redefining urban issues and for contributing to policy making. The research takes place in Amsterdam Zuidoost which is the urban fragment of Amsterdam situated in the south-east side of the city (getting the name Zuidoost) and builds itself on an interdisciplinary collaboration between the urban studies and data science fields, with a PhD researcher from each discipline. The city of Amsterdam contributes to the research with the involvement and supervision of the neighbourhood teams (gebiedsmakelaars) of Amsterdam Zuidoost, and the researchers of the Statistics and Research Department of the city of Amsterdam (OIS). Such framework enables that case studies can be carried out by working on current social problems in the neighbourhood of Amsterdam Zuidoost, and by using the actual data that is collected by the city of Amsterdam for exploring novel measurement techniques.
