Abstract: Using the convoy model (R. L. Kahn & T. C. Antonucci, 1980), this study examined the differential impact of relocation, depending on the distance moved, on the size of 3 types of role networks. A total of 890 Dutch nonmovers and 445 movers (aged 55-86 years) were selected from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam. Results of analyses of variance showed that the neighbor networks changed most after relocation. Long-distance movers discontinued the largest number of relationships with fellow club members.

“…Interaction and support exchange across generations are very sensitive to geographic distance, where distance serves as the strongest predictor of support exchange among family members (Lawton et al ., ; Van Tilburg et al ., ; Greenwell and Bengtson, ; Rogerson et al ., ; Hank, ; Bordone, ; Hank and Buber, ; Mulder and Van der Meer, ). Although geographic distances are not considerable in the Netherlands, travel distance restrains relationship maintenance significantly (Bloem et al ., ). A distance of over five rather than under five kilometres makes a great difference in support exchange (Knijn and Liefbroer, ).…”

“…Research suggests that between-ego differences are much less significant contributors to patterns of alter loss than are between-tie differences (e.g., van Duijin et al 1999;Marin and Hampton, 2019), but a few attributes do stand out. People undergoing life transitions-marriage, widowhood, graduation, moving, retirement and nearing the end of life-report more drops and more churn generally (e.g., Badawy, et al, 2018;Bidart and Cacciuttolo, 2013;Bidart and Lavenu, 2005;Bidart, et al, 2011;Bloem, et al, 2008;Carstensen, et al, 1999;Cornwell et al, 2014;Lang, 2000;Mollenhorst, 2014;Schafer and Vargas, 2016;Small, et al, 2015;van Dujian, et al, 1999;Wellman et al, 1997). Thus, both young and very elderly adults tend to have high drop rates.…”

“…Moving to a rural area and feeling safe in the evening make it easier to start neighbor relationships, probably because there is a greater likelihood of meeting people outdoors. In an earlier study (Bloem et al, 2008a), we observed that the longer the distance of the move, the more former role relationships were lost, especially with neighbors. It follows that the need for contact with new neighbors is greater for people who move farther away because they have more of a gap in their neighbor network.…”

“…Good places to meet like-minded people are athletic, cultural, or senior citizens' clubs, churches or voluntary organizations, such as unions or political parties, where people from the vicinity participate (Bloem et al, 2008a). The fourth condition is volunteer work.…”
