Door onderzoekers Wagegeningen UR is uitgebreid kennis genomen van de Nota Ruimte, de WRO2, de wijze van totstandkoming en de ontwikkelingen in de praktijk.

In dit vakdebat zien ze belangrijke rollen voor universiteiten, Ruimtelijk Planbureau en beroepsverenigingen.

The nature of policy and legislative frameworks is varied, as is commitment by governments to co-management - in some cases support is more rhetoric than reality, with insufficient real transfer of powers and financial resources to local levels.

The articles in this volume of Land Reform, Land Settlement and Cooperatives reflect this in a variety of ways.
