Fietsen is in transitie van een voornamelijk lokale naar een ook regionale modaliteit. De grote populariteit van de elektrische fiets vormt de drijfveer om snelfietsroutes en campagnes te ontwikkelen, maar wie is verantwoordelijk voor de regionale fietser? / Housing Institutions & Governance
Regional designing is a form of spatial design that engages with the future physical form and arrangement of regions, including its aesthetic appearances and how it can come about. As such it is closely entangled with spatial planning. This thesis studies the influence of regional designing on strategic spatial planning and how this influence is re...
Het programma Groene Cirkels (van Heineken) heeft het initiatief genomen tot het realiseren van een duurzaam bijenlandschap in het land van Wijk en Wouden. Deze handreiking wil een impuls geven aan het realiseren daarvan. In Nederland hebben we zo’n 350 verschillende wilde bestuivende insectensoorten. Door variatie in onder andere bloemvormen en ke...
Het PBL verkent de mogelijkheden om natuur een rol te laten spelen in de uitvoering van het Deltaprogramma om onze waterveiligheid te waarborgen. Dit gebeurt met oog voor de meerwaarde voor de biodiversiteit. Kennis wordt opgedaan in twee praktijkprojecten: de verbetering van de zeedijk tussen Eemshaven en Delfzijl en de aanleg van een hoogwatergeu...
Finding solutions for complex societal problems requires cross-boundary collaboration between multiple stakeholders who represent various practices, disciplines and perspectives.

Two species of seals live in Dutch waters: the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) and the harbour seal (Phoca vitulina). Although hauling out on near-shore tidal sandbanks, both species forage predominantly in the North Sea. Anthropogenic activities within the North Sea have the potential to overlap with the movement and habitat use of the seals, and a...
The delta region between Rotterdam and Antwerp is a prime example of an area where spatial developments face increasing complexity. Local initiatives for developing urban expansions, recreation areas, nature and industrial complexes must harmonize with measures such as adequate flood protection, sufficient freshwater supply, restoration of ecosyste...
Researchers and policymakers increasingly aim to set up collaborative research programmes to address the challenges of adaptation to climate change. This does not only apply for technical knowledge, but for governance knowledge also. Both the Netherlands and Germany have set up large scale collaborative action research (CAR) programmes for the gove...
This is the final report (eindrapport) of the national Knowledge for Climate (KfC) research program. The program was set up in 2007 to explore the consequences of climate change for the Netherlands and how they should be managed. To that end, an independent foundation was established with the objective of “promoting evidence-based and practice- dri...
