The basic functionalities of a neighborhood platform are:

Below you will find the 9 neighborhood platforms that I have examined. I will only include the deviations from the above basic offer and striking extras in my findings.
1. Mijnbuurtje.nl – platform and methodology with ‘neighbourhood connectors’
The organization behind Mijnbuurtje.nl is a social enterprise from Nijmegen. The goal of this platform is to stimulate involved neighborhoods, where people and organizations find each other, do more together, think along and make optimal use of what can be found.
Mijnbuurtje.nl is not supplied ‘separately’, but is part of a proven methodology, which also includes Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). The methodology consists of training and coaching for residents, civil servants and social professionals, who thereby take on the role of ‘neighbourhood connector’. These neighbourhood connectors are active both offline clean email and online and united in a national network.
Mijnbuurtje.nl offers the basic functionalities of a neighbourhood platform and also has social maps, a module to involve residents in policy.
The platform has start-up costs and annual costs. At the moment, around 40 municipalities use Mijnbuurtje.nl.
What do I think about it?
A pleasant looking and well working platform. For neighbourhoods that would also like support with the implementation.The basic functionalities
2. MyNeighbourhoodWelfare – for self-reliance
The goal of MijnBuurtWelzijn is to stimulate self-reliance. A socially involved Netherlands, in which residents can easily get in the regular salary is usually touch with each other and, with the help of neighbors, can live independently for longer.
The platform is active in 567 neighbourhoods. In this case, this means that at least one resident from that neighbourhood has joined the platform.
