Irma-Sponge proposal
No full textAfter the flooding events in the recent years in the Rhine and Meuse basin and the subsequently developed action plans, awareness has grown that the issue of flood risk management has to be considered in an integrated, transnational context where hydraulic, ecological and socio-economic functions of the river system are taken into account from the perspective of long term sustainable, resilient river basin development: living with the floods. The Umbrella project IRMA-SPONGE is a cluster of innovative, transnational, mutually consistent and complementary projects on flood risk and vulnerability assessment. The deliverables of these projects will be made operational in water management and in the spatial planning process.Irma-Spong
Proceedings of the IRMA SPONGE Final Working Conference
No full textMany important developments are currently taking place in the area of flood risk management in Europe. The IRMA-SPONGE Umbrella Program aims to contribute to these developments by co-ordinating and integrating 13 research projects, dealing with many aspects of flood risk management along the rivers Rhine and Meuse, in such a way that the output is maximised and shared. Over 30 organisations (both scientific and flood-management oriented) in all 6 Rhine / Meuse countries work together in IRMA-SPONGE, which thus also contributes to an improved cohesion in European flood risk management efforts in the future.Irma-Spong

On the Name of Book Wrighting: Irma Boom’s “Transformative Crossover” Production
No full textThis statement of practice takes the form of a conversation between Danné Ojeda and Irma Boom with a preliminary introduction contextualising Boom’s work. The talk took place in Irma Boom Office, on March 13, 2014 in Amsterdam, and it has been edited for length and readability. Through the introduction and the following conversation, Boom’s practice is positioned within the author-producer-entrepreneur triad and the overlapping margins between these designations. First, design authorship is understood as self-expression that reflects the different ways—whether through technique, material or forms of practice—a designer generates content for communicating her aims. Second, the role of producer is intrinsically related to “the preparation of the work for mechanical reproduction”—in Walter Benjamin’s terms—and the consequent mastering of this technological process in order to generate and communicate meaning through objects and materials. Third, entrepreneurship relates to a business model whereby the designer operates with a high degree of independence, planning as well as resolving managerial responsibilities that make all of the above conditions possible. Examples of Irma Boom’s book design practice will illustrate how she negotiates this author-producer-entrepreneur triad, highlighting how her creative process originates, is prototyped, developed and finally mastered. Closeness to the processes of manufacture proves a vital component of her graphic design practice.Accepted versio

Yogyakarta: Fakultas Ilmu Tarbiyah dan Keguruan Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sunan Kalijaga, 2017. Fenomena ibu yang bekerja bukanlah hal baru di tengah masyarakat. Pilihan menjadi wanita karir bukanlah tanpa sebab. Peran ganda yang dijalani ibu menyebabkan perhatian kepada anak berkurang. Padahal menurut penelitian dari Sarah Roberts dan Saron Stein dari Ferrum College menyatakan bahwa anak belajar bersikap dari ibu. Adapun penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Crouter di Amerika Serikat, ibu yang bekerja menyebabkan prestasi belajar anak laki-laki kurang baik. Akan tetapi berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan siswa kelas IV, V dan VI SDN Barusawah-Sukabumi tidak sedikit ibunya yang bekerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan (1) untuk mendeskripsikan tingkat perhatian ibu yang bekerja di SDN Barusawah-Sukabumi (2) untuk mendeskripsikan prestasi belajar siswa SDN Barusawa-Sukabumi (3) untuk mendeskripsikan tingkat disiplin siswa SDN Barusawah-Sukabumi (4) untuk membuktikan apakah terdapat hubungan antara perhatian ibu yang bekerja terhadap prestasi belajar siswa SDN Barusawah-Sukabumi (5) untuk membuktikan apakah terdapat hubungan perhatian ibu yang bekerja terhadap tingkat disiplin siswa SDN Barusawah- Sukabumi.

Development and application of BIO-SAFE
No full textBIO-SAFE is a policy and legislation based model for the assessment of impacts of flood prevention measures on biodiversity in river basins. Within the framework of IRMA-SPONGE, a transnational version of the model BIO-SAFE (Spreadsheet Application For Evaluation of BIOdiversity) for the rivers Rhine and Meuse was developed. The model was specifically designed for policy and legislation based impact assessment of flood risk reduction measures on biodiversity in floodplains. BIO-SAFE is an assessment model that quantifies the policy and legislation status of species in river basins for several taxonomic groups. The model uses data on presence of species and ecotopes. Results show that the BIO-SAFE method enables the user to express politically and legally based biodiversity values in quantitative terms and to compare biodiversity values for various taxonomic groups, landscape-ecological units (e.g. ecotopes) and physical planning scenarios. BIO-SAFE gives information regarding the degree to which floodplain designs, observed or predicted trends of floodplain developments or actual values meet goals set in (inter)national agreements. Assessments with BIO-SAFE, in an early stage of the planning process, of actual situations and different scenarios for an area can help direct the planning process in the stage where this is still possible. Because of its policy-based character, BIO-SAFE yields complementary information to more established ecological biodiversity indices and to singlespecies habitat models and ecological network analysis.Irma-Spong
INTERMEUSE: The Meuse reconnected
No full textIn the coming years decision makers are confronted with the question how to combine aims for sustainable flood protection and floodplain rehabilitation in the best possible way. Both topics deal with spatial planning aspects and dimensions of measures. On this basis an evaluation method was developed within the IRMA/SPONGE project INTERMEUSE and illustrated for (fictive) situations in the Meuse basin. The integration of flood protection and floodplain rehabilitation can be performed on two scale levels that are interrelated: global for (large parts of) a stream basin or local for a specific site. Both scale levels are elaborated within INTERMEUSE: a link with flood protection measures and/or strategies is made via changed abiotic conditions, resulting in indications on chances to link flood protection goals to ecosystem rehabilitation goals. Ecological aspects under study were spatial cohesion and habitat configuration (global level) and habitat quality (local level). Based on the results of the analyses performed an integration approach was constructed that can be used in different parts of the planning cycle: different toolboxes for the planning phase and the actual evaluation and guidelines of how to use these toolboxes in practise. The results of this first study show clearly that there is a good chance to combine floodplain rehabilitation aims with flood protection activities, both on a local and international scale. In practise, for both cases close co operation of parties involved is an important prerequisite.Irma-Spong
Development of flood management strategies for the Rhine and Meuse basins in the context of integrated river management
No full textWater management of the rivers Rhine and Meuse is surrounded by major uncertainties. The central question is then: given the uncertainties, what is the best water management strategy? This raises the need for integrated scenarios that consider possible futures in a coherent and consistent way. Within the framework of IRMA-SPONGE a scenario study was carried out in which physical modelling was combined with socio-cultural theory. Existing climate, land use and socio-economic scenarios, as well as water management strategies have been structured using the Perspectives method. This resulted in integrated scenarios for water management, each representing a different view on the future, together with the according water management style. These were put in a scenario matrix with combinations of world views and management styles, both where these match and mis-match. Using a suite of existing modelling tools the implications of each scenario for the water systems were evaluated. Finally, a comparison of different water management styles under different possible futures was made, showing the risk, cost and benefits of different strategies.Irma-Spong
