“…An exclusive focus on neighbor nuisance that characterizes today's literature on neighbor problems seems to narrow down the problems encountered by neighbors and provides a biased approach to the phenomenon. Our results suggest that noise nuisance is the most frequent source of neighbor nuisance (Nieuwenhuis et al, 2013;Peper & Spierings, 1999) but that it often occurs as part of a suite of behaviors that might be defined as antisocial (Hughes, Karn, & Lickiss, 1994;Squires, 2006). In contrast to our findings, Cheshire and Fitzgerald (2014) concluded that criminal and antisocial behaviors are rarely encountered in isolation of nuisance problems.…”

Unwanted behaviors between (ex-)intimates have been extensively studied, while those behaviors within other contexts such as neighbors have received much less scientific consideration. Research indicates that residents are likely to encounter problem behaviors from their neighbors. Besides the lack of clarity in the conceptualization of problem behaviors among neighbors, little is known on which types of behaviors characterize neighbor problems. In this study, the occurrence of two types of problem behaviors encountered by neighbors was explored within a Belgian community sample: unwanted behaviors such as threats and neighbor nuisance issues such as noise nuisance. By clearly distinguishing those two types of behaviors, this study aimed at contributing to the conceptualization of neighbor problems. Next, the coping strategies used to deal with the neighbor problems were investigated. Our results indicated that unwanted behaviors were more frequently encountered by residents compared with nuisance problems. Four out of 10 respondents reported both unwanted pursuit behavior and nuisance problems. It was especially unlikely to encounter nuisance problems in isolation of unwanted pursuit behaviors. While different coping styles (avoiding the neighbor, confronting the neighbor, and enlisting help from others) were equally used by the stalked participants, none of them was perceived as being more effective in reducing the stalking behaviors. Strikingly, despite being aware of specialized help services such as community mediation services, only a very small subgroup enlisted this kind of professional help.

Während immer neue Spaltungslinien wie soziale Ungleichheit, politische Polarisierung oder der Umgang mit Krisen zu gesellschaftlicher Fragmentierung führen, wird übersehen, dass Nachbarschaft im Alltag ein Potenzial für Zusammenhalt birgt. Das Buch geht daher der Frage nach, was Nachbarschaft eigentlich ist, und präsentiert zahlreiche empirische Befunde. Sebastian Kurtenbach zeigt, wie Nachbarschaft heute verstanden werden kann, welche Rolle Organisationen oder die Digitalisierung für das nachbarschaftliche Zusammenleben spielen, und welche Unterschiede zwischen Nachbarschaft in der Stadt und auf dem Land bestehen. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.de

“…Research also shows that social connections within the local community can shape attitudes and behaviors around neighboring by exposing individuals to community norms and values that support informal social control (Dekker 2007; Kasarda and Janowitz 1974; Lelieveldt 2004; Mesch and Manor 1998). A study conducted on neighbor noise complaints found that having a preestablished relationship with a neighbor reduced the likelihood of experiencing their behaviors as annoying and increased the propensity for problems to be resolved informally when they did arise (see also, Hughes, Karn, and Lickiss 1994; MORI 2003).…”

Neighbor relations are informal social ties that constitute part of everyday urban life. While the benefits of neighborliness are well established, less is known about the manifestation of private neighbor nuisances. Specifically, research examining the influence of community social contexts on the propensity for neighbor nuisances and the resolution of nuisance issues through informal pathways remains limited. Drawing on a stratified sample of over 4,000 residents living in 147 communities, we conducted multilevel regression analyses to examine the impact of individual-level neighboring behavior and community-level norms of neighboring on the likelihood of (1) individuals experiencing neighbor nuisances and (2) individuals responding to neighbor nuisances informally. We found that community-level neighborliness and structural characteristics were associated with the likelihood of experiencing private neighbor nuisance issues as opposed to individual-level neighboring behaviors. Individual-level social ties in the community and neighboring were significantly associated with individual responses to neighbor nuisance issues.
