Neighborhoods in the {{software}} are mutual exclusive spatial areas that divide a city or village. These areas do not overlap and are, when available, based on real (historical) data. For projects situated in the Netherlands, this data is retrieved from CBS at the level of neighborhoods ("buurten"), as opposed to the larger districts ("wijken").

==What is a Neighborhood?==
''From:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbourhood''


A neighbourhood (Commonwealth English), or neighborhood (American English), is a geographically localized community within a larger city, town, suburb or rural area. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. Researchers have not agreed on an exact definition, but the following may serve as a starting point: "…Neighborhood is generally defined spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a set of social networks. Neighborhoods, then, are the spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions occur—the personal settings and situations where residents seek to realize common values, socialize youth, and maintain effective social control."
For [[planning session]]s, it is possible to direct the focus to sub-regions within your project by [[Active attribute|deactivating]] certain neighborhoods in a specific [[Scenario|scenario]]. This helps stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the {{software}} in a secluded area of the project, before progressing into the more complex spatial issues at hand.


==How does a Neighborhood relate to the Tygron Engine?==
Neighborhoods can be visualized by using the [[Neighborhoods Overlay]].

Neighborhoods in the Tygron Engine are mutual exclusive spatial areas that divide a city/ village. These areas do not overlap and are, when available, based on real (historical) data.


It is possible to build up a [[project session]], by not making all available neighborhoods active in the first [[Levels|level(s)]]. This would facilitate a first introductory level, with a small neighborhood only active, so that users can familiarize themselves with the Tygron Engine in a secluded area of the project, before progressing into the more complex spatial issues at hand.

==Adding and removing a Neighborhood from a project==
 
===Adding a Neighborhood===
It is common for the [[Wizard]] of the Tygron Engine to read the location of existing neighborhoods from available data. A Project can also involve a new neighborhood (to be constructed) that does not exist in the available data sets yet. In such a case it is possible to add a new Neighborhood to a project. Please note that the new neighborhood will overwrite any existing neighborhoods where they overlap, as the areas are mutual exclusive.

===Removing a Neighborhood===
In case an existing Neighborhood needs to be removed, the following steps need to be taken:

===Duplicating a Neighborhood===
For convenience purposes it is also possible to duplicate a Neighborhood. This duplicates the neighborhood entry and all its [[Attributes|attributes]], except the actual location in the project area, since neighborhoods are mutual exclusive areas.

==Editing a Neighborhood in a project==
When a Neighborhood is present in a Project area, when selected, it can be edited on the Right Panel of the Editor. On this panel two tabs are available when a Neighborhood is selected - the general tab and a custom attributes tab. On the general tab two standard attributes can be adjusted; the name of the Neighborhood, and its [[Overlays|overlay]] color. On the Attributes tab custom pairs of an attribute name and its value can be added to the Neighborhood.

Neighborhood in comparison to Areas, Zones and Plots

Neighborhoods in the Tygron Platform are mutual exclusive spatial areas that divide a city or village. These areas do not overlap and are, when available, based on real (historical) data. For projects situated in the Netherlands, this data is retrieved from CBS at the level of neighborhoods ("buurten"), as opposed to the larger districts ("wijken").

For planning sessions, it is possible to direct the focus to sub-regions within your project by deactivating certain neighborhoods in a specific scenario. This helps stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the Tygron Platform in a secluded area of the project, before progressing into the more complex spatial issues at hand.

Neighborhoods can be visualized by using the Neighborhoods Overlay.

The Neighborhoods of Amsterdam West, as visualized in the Tygron Platform using the Neighborhoods Overlay.
