Focal point
Location
National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System (NARCIS) is the main Dutch national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work. NARCIS aggregates data from around 30 institutional repositories. Besides researchers, NARCIS is also used by students, journalists and people working in educational and government institutions as well as the business sector.
NARCIS provides access to scientific information, including (open access) publications from the repositories of all the Dutch universities, KNAW, NWO and a number of research institutes, datasets from some data archives as well as descriptions of research projects, researchers and research institutes.
This means that NARCIS cannot be used as an entry point to access complete overviews of publications of researchers (yet). However, there are more institutions that make all their scientific publications accessible via NARCIS. By doing so, it will become possible to create much more complete publication lists of researchers.
In 2004, the development of NARCIS started as a cooperation project of KNAW Research Information, NWO, VSNU and METIS, as part of the development of services within the DARE programme of SURFfoundation. This project resulted in the NARCIS portal, in which the DAREnet service was incorporated in January 2007. NARCIS has been part of DANS since 2011.
DANS - Data Archiving and Networked Services - is the Netherlands Institute for permanent access to digital research resources. DANS encourages researchers to make their digital research data and related outputs Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Sustainable economic development is essential for hundreds of millions of poor households in rural areas. This book represents a merger of environmental science and rural development economics. It elucidates the linkage between rational choice theory and theories on land use change. It builds a quantitative framework to connect the environmental method of Material Flow Analysis to basic issues of rural development such as agricultural intensification and food security.
Land Reform In Bolivia: The Forestry Question
textabstractAbstract: In this paper we discuss forestry issues related to land reform in Bolivia. We find that although the current land reform satisfies most of the necessary conditions for adequately addressing development issues in the agrarian sector, it does not deal with many challenges related to forest management and actually contains provisions conflicting with the objectives of sustainable forest management.
Optimizing Commercial Wetlands in Rural Landscapes
Commercial wetlands can contribute to different policy objectives simultaneously. The aim of this study is to investigate the opinion of the Dutch population with respect to commercial wetlands. The commercial wetland functions valued the most by the Dutch population are water treatment and water storage
Anticiperend landschapsbeleid. Katern 2: Demografie en wonen
Het aantal ouderen neemt toe. Bij veel ouderen groeit de financiële armslag, maar dat gaat gepaard met een kleinere dagelijkse actieradius. Verwacht mag worden dat dit tot meer aandacht zal leiden voor de kwaliteit van de directe woonomgeving. Voor het landschapsbeleid biedt dit uitgelezen mogelijkheden. Toegankelijkheid is hierbij wel een punt van zorg. Dit is één van de verwachtingen in het nieuwste katern in de serie ‘Anticiperend Landschapsbeleid’
Twee jaar ILG: tijd voor de gebieden. Provincies op zoek naar een nieuwe rol in gebiedsprocessen
Met het ingaan van het Investeringsbudget Landelijk Gebied (ILG) in 2007, brak een nieuw hoofdstuk aan voor de verhoudingen tussen rijk en provincies in het landelijk gebied. Het ILG is bedoeld om gebiedsgerichte samenwerking te stimuleren en daarmee de rijksdoelen in het natuur- en plattelandsbeleid te realiseren. De verwachtingen zijn torenhoog, vooral voor provincies. In dit artikel bespreken we de gevolgen van het ILG voor de verhoudingen tussen provincies en gebieden. We doen dat aan de hand van twee gebieden: de Krimpenerwaard en Utrecht Midden-Noord.
