The neighbourhood as a context of responsibility

[摘要] The history of the role neighbourhoods are expected to play in everyday life of the residents is highly dynamic. This paper gives an overview. Some hundred years ago neighbourhoods formed the almost complete framework for everyday life. This changed due to increasing mobility. Many people expected the end of the relevance of the neighbourhood, but in a new role the neighbourhood will be quite important: as a context of responsibility for the residents.
