This platform focuses mainly on collaboration for a better neighborhood and ‘plans’ are therefore important. Every user can share a plan. Each plan gets its own page with photos, videos or web links. Every other user can respond to it or add something to it. This platform therefore focuses less on questions such as ‘When is there yoga in the neighborhood?’, ‘Who has seen my cat?’ and ‘Who can help me with this job?’
Every individual resident can register. If you want to start well as a neighborhood, BUURbook can help with obtaining subsidies, training professionals and residents, setting up a digital neighborhood guide and taking care of the communication. BUURbook is now active in 13 neighborhoods.
The basic functionalities are there. You can also create closed groups, BUURbook provides a flyer design, A3 job function email database window poster or roll-up banner in PDF for free and there is BUURstand, a tool to quickly give a report grade to 10 aspects of the neighbourhood. BUURbook is available in web and app form. There are start-up and annual costs.
What do I think about it?
A clear site with Facebook as a source of inspiration. Here too there is a risk that an individual resident in an inactive neighbourhood will quickly drop out.
6. Neighborhood link – together with local fundraising
Buurtlink brings people in the neighborhood together online. Buurtlink.nl is the successor of Buurtenonline.nl (offline) and is supported by the National Postcode Lottery.
On the site you can see other neighbors and share messages and images with other neighbors. Messages are divided into the following categories:
overview of the housing supply in the area, with both homes for sale and homes for rent. Only non-profit neighborhood organizations can create an clean email organization profile, commercial messages are not allowed (yet). On this site I do find national Google advertisements. The platform focuses on the individual resident.
There is a collaboration between Stichting Buurtlink and Stichting Lokale Fondsen Nederland. Residents who want to social mia & influencer marketing advertising code commit themselves to their own environment can set up a local fund and collect money
locally and support neighborhood initiatives
What do I think about it?
Nice site, with Google ads. Also for this platform I fear that without a local driving team it will not really come to lifeThis platform therefore .
