The Institutionalisation of a Creative Practice: Changing Roles of Regional Design in Dutch National Planning
No full textThis chapter discusses the organisational setting of regional design in the realms of spatial planning and territorial governance. As a starting point, it argues that rules on how imagined design solutions function in an abstract, simplified ‘planning world’ are an important regional design product. When focusing on these rules, regional design practice resembles discretionary action. As such, it aims to improve planning decisions by judging the implications of planning frameworks when applied to particular situations. This implies that the involvement of actors in design practice requires careful consideration. As in any form of legitimate rule-building, a critical distance between those who initiate practices and conduct design, and those who judge the quality and relevance of design outcomes is essential. On the basis of these considerations the chapter investigates regional design practices that occurred between the 1980s and 2010s in the context of Dutch national planning. It shows how they transformed from being a form of professional advocacy, criticising planning, into a practice that was pragmatically used to implement a national planning agenda. The chapter concludes by discussing this institutionalisation of a creative practice in the Netherlands, reflecting upon the implications of these outcomes for territorial governance in particular.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spatial Planning and Strateg

Journal of Comparative Physiology, A: Sensory Neural and Behavioral Physiology. 1988;163(3):329-337.Measurements were made of the physical properties of the visual system of the zebra finch, a bird with laterally placed eyes. The use of the visual system in pecking and courtship behavior was examined. It was demonstrated that the optical axis and the fovea of the eye point in a direction about 62.degree. from the sagittal axis of the head. The visual field of each eye covers about 170.degree. in the horizontal plane. In the frontal region there is an overlap of about 30.degree.-40.degree. where the birds can see binocularly; caudally there is a 'gap' in the visual field of 60.degree.. The point of best binocular viewing is in the sagittal plane at 16.5.degree. below the beak. Concerning movement detection, the upper threshold is 540.degree./s for the binocular (frontal) part of the visual field and about 1100.degree./s for the monocular (lateral) part. Most fixations before pecking occur monocularly. A preference for one eye during pecking was not detected. During the courtship song, a male bird directs its head towards the female. The results are discussed in comparison with findings in pigeons and chickens

Der Anteil akustischer Komponenten an der Auslösung der Balz männlicher Zebrafinken (Taeniopygia guttata castanotis)
No full textBischof H-J. Der Anteil akustischer Komponenten an der Auslösung der Balz männlicher Zebrafinken (Taeniopygia guttata castanotis). Journal of Ornithology. 1985;126(3):273-279.Courtship behaviour of male zebra finches is elicited by the presence of stuffed dummies, but not by acoustic contact with a female. Acoustic contact, however, enhances the arousal of the male and leads to a higher frequency of courtship behaviour if compared with experiments, where solely optic components of the releaser female are offered
Grounding the future : transformative learning through place-based imaginaries of sustainable transitions
No full textMoving away from unstainable practices implies complex transitions that have uneven and long-term impacts on local communities. While such sustainability transitions (ST) occur in times of disillusionment with democracy, they require inclusive place-based policy responses that address diverse vulnerabilities and create opportunities to shape one’s future (Barca, 2008). Considerations should be made, however, that communities approach ST from varied starting points, interpreting their relevance through the lens of the social and cultural structures they are embedded in. These differences affect if and how communities engage in shaping ST policies. Meanwhile, ST have gained traction on policy agendas. While the latter frame transitions differently, there is a notable focus on technology and industry, leading to top-down policy-making and technocratic policies. This hinders communities’ understanding of how their lives will be affected, and how they can voice their interests. Against this background, this paper investigates the involvement of communities, vulnerable to transitions but systemically marginalised by policy-driven participatory processes, in the deliberative governance of regional ST. It emphasises the engagement of these groups in public interventions’ design, focusing on European regions with energy-intensive industries. Specifically, the paper explores an innovative approach to the proactive articulation and strategic consideration of communities’ expectations and hopes for the future in the multi-level policy landscape that ST present. The central question is if and how this approach, which is expected to enhance communities’ perceived relevance of sustainability transitions, transition policies and policy-making, influences citizenship, including the willingness to participate. Results draw on case study research conducted in the Horizon Europe project Democratising jUst Sustainability Transitions (DUST) in regions in Bulgaria, Germany, Poland and Sweden. Data are acquired via participatory methods including eleven focus groups and four living labs. Key to the qualitative sampling of participants was the conceptual distinction between communities’ ability and willingness to participate in political life. This approach resulted in the identification of one meta-community (e.g. defined by occupation) and several distinct sub-communities per region. In theoretical terms, research employed a design-led experimentalist social governance approach, progressing through stages that emphasise learning through reflexivity between bottom-up community perspectives and top-down policy perspectives (Balz, 2021; Morgan, 2018). Additional conceptual inspiration were the UNESCO Futures Literacy Lab approach (Miller, 2018b). The process started with community members exploring the meaning and personal impact of transitions. During next stages, these baseline interpretations were firstly used to uncover detailed communities’ assumptions and dreams concerning their futures; envisioned futures were secondly compared to the scope of ongoing and upcoming transition policies; and matches and mismatches between community and policy perspectives were thirdly deliberated among lab participants and a broader public. At each stage of the process the perceived relevance of transitions and transition policies for communities was traced through qualitative text analysis, emphasising sentiment and emotions about transitions. A concluding comparative assessment will investigate how this relevance changed across the stages of the experiment, how these changes corresponded to communities’ willingness to participate, and how these findings can explain processes of learning and knowledge co-production both theoretically and practically
