Klimaatverandering in de Grote Polder en Polder Groenendijk : Workshopverslag

Reports & Research
Décembre, 2017

Het klimaat verandert en dat merken we langzaam maar zeker. Maar wat zijn hiervan de gevolgen op lokaal niveau? Om hier een beeld van te vormen is informatie over klimaatverandering en (land)gebruik samengebracht voor de Grote Polder en Polder Groenendijk. Kunnen we een eerste beeld vormen van wat klimaatverandering betekent voor het bedrijfsleven op het bedrijvenpark, voor de Heineken-brouwerij, voor de gemeente Zoeterwoude, voor het Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland, voor de boeren, voor de natuur, en voor de mensen die er wonen en recreëren?

Optimizing legume cropping : The policy questions

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2017

The cultivation of legumes is low in Europe. Public policy incentives and/or regulations have a role to play in changing this. This chapter examines six such policies. The CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact) model, a partial equilibrium model for the agricultural sector, is used to simulate the effects of these policies and compare them to what would happen if no policy action were taken. Five of these policy scenarios are aimed at grain legumes (pulses and soybean), and one at forage legumes (in particular, clover).

The semiotics of landscape design communication: towards a critical visual research approach in landscape architecture.

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2017

In landscape architecture, visual representations are the primary means of communication between stakeholders in design processes. Despite the reliance on visual representations, little critical research has been undertaken by landscape architects on how visual communication forms work or their socio-political implications. In this theoretical paper, we argue that such research is of great importance.

How land is used affects a wide range of outcomes – from day-to-day quality of life, such as the length of commutes, to the environmental sustainability of urban and rural communities, including the possibility for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Moreover, the economic importance of land is immense. Land and the buildings on it are approximately seven times as valuable as all other assets taken together and land-use policies play a crucial role in determining land and property prices. Beyond economic value, land also has important sentimental value.
