Ruimte en milieu: Onderwerpen voor onderzoek
No full textonderzoeksbehoefte op het raakvlak van de beide beleidsvelden ruimtelijk en milieubeleid. Het resultaat is een uitgebreide lijst van onderzoeksonderwerpen op dit themaveld, waarbij het ruimtelijk perspectief voorop staat. De studie is geschreven in opdracht van het Programmeringsoverleg Ruimtelijk Onderzoek (PRO) in het kader van de voorbereidingen van het PRO voor zijn Meerjarenvisie Ruimtelijk Onderzoek 1991-1996. De Meerjarenvisie wordt opgesteld op verzoek van de Minister van VROM. De auteurs zijn werkzaam bij de Vakgroep Milieu, Natuur en Landschap, Faculteit der Beleidswetenschappen van de Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen. Het rapport is mede tot stand gekomen dankzij de waardevolle adviezen van de klankbordgroep. Deze klankbordgroep werd, naast het PRO-secretariaat gevormd door ir. A.I.F. de Vries (lid PRO, voorzitter klankbordgroep) en de externe leden drs. A.F. van de Klundert en ir. e.G. Bos. Wij danken de leden van de klankbordgroep voor de goede samenwerking
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Place branding by building coalitions; lessons from rural-urban regions in the Netherlands
No full textThis article aims to contribute to the conceptual and empirical understanding of branding strategies in rural–urban areas. We argue here that branding at the regional level ideally can be seen as the interaction of three intertwined processes: identification of territorial capital, the re-grounding of practices and products in place-based characteristics, and a multi-stakeholder process to develop an inner storyline (brand). We focus in this article on regional collaboration in multi-stakeholder processes, paying special attention to initiating forms of public–private self-organization (so called ‘vital coalitions’). As a theoretical framework, we use theoretical notions of Urban Regime Theory. We will investigate under which conditions vital coalitions can contribute to place branding strategies. We illustrate this by describing two empirical rural–urban cases in the Netherlands where a branding strategy has been implemented based on territorial capital

Values in place: A value-oriented approach toward sustainable place-shaping
No full textOur starting point in this conceptual paper is the assumption that place-based approaches can contribute to the sustainable development of communities and regions. In order to enhance sustainable development, adaptations to vulnerabilities and unsustainability require a more place-based approach, using local resources, people’s capacities and the distinctiveness of places for sustainable development. Our aim is to understand how processes of sustainable place-shaping are influenced by human values, rooted in culture. Culture is constructed and plays a mediating role between people and their environment, influencing people’s intentions, way of life, sense of place, practices, norms and rules. In its variety, culture is one of the sources as well as an outcome of distinctiveness between places. Transformation to sustainability is not only driven by practices and political structures, but also by beliefs, values, worldviews and paradigms that influence attitudes and actions. The paper shows how values have been interpreted in different ways in various bodies of literature, as abstract principles and in an instrumental way. Values are not self-standing concepts but are intertwined, context-determined, culturally varied and connected to how we see our self and how we perceive our environment. It is argued that development and engagement of participants’ values can build co-creative capacity in place-based development aimed at sustainability. A distinction is made between an economic, intentional and symbolic approach. A value-oriented approach can provide a more in-depth insight into what people appreciate, feel responsible for and are willing to commit to in the context of their place
