Municipality of Sittard-Geleen introduces new district and neighbourhood division
The municipality is implementing a renewed district and neighbourhood division. The current division is too broad to allow for accurate data analysis. Additionally, residents do not always recognise themselves in the existing names. For this reason, residents and organisations have been involved in developing the new division. In practical terms, nothing will change for residents.
Last year, the municipality established an adjusted division in collaboration with residents and, among others, cultural and historical organisations. The guidelines from Statistics Netherlands (CBS) were followed to ensure the new division aligns with national standards.
The renewed district and neighbourhood division makes it easier to highlight differences between areas more precisely and supports neighbourhood-focused work. The new division will be used in statistics, reports, and dashboards.
