Resident Archetypes Study

The RySense study echoes the findings of NUS-led study, revealing a significant number of residents eager to get involved. The key study takeaways are:

• 8 out of 10 residents value good relationships with their neighbours.
• 4 out of 10 are willing to collaborate with government agencies and grassroots leaders to tackle neighbourhood issues like excessive noise, cluttering and second-hand smoke.
• Half of Singaporeans are willing to address municipal issues themselves, with 6 out of 10 reporting they would escalate to authorities if necessary. 9 out of 10 believe in stricter enforcement measures if the situation persists.

RySense identified four profiles based on the sampled residents’ satisfaction with municipal issues, actions they would take to resolve issues, and level of involvement in the community: Champion Charlie (37%), Neutral Nancy (21%), Tolerant Tina (21%), and Quiet Quinn (21%).
