    Evaluation for Participation and Sustainability in Planning

    No full text
    ‘Evaluation for Participation and Sustainability in Planning’ is the title of a new book edited by Johan Woltjer and his colleagues Angela Hull, Ernest Alexander, and Abdul Khakee. The book addresses the evaluation of planning interventions from several perspectives (social, economic, environmental). Specifically, the attention is focused on: - how evaluation is used in planning practice, including the choice of indicators or the criteria to evaluate participation; - the introduction of new kinds of information, such as measuring the cumulative effects or bringing criteria on capability and well-being into play; - alternative ways of collecting and presenting information, through using GIS or focusing on strategic environmental awareness and ‘hotspots’; and - understanding how strategic planning objectives are implemented in local practice

    Fuzzy Planning:The Role of Actors in a Fuzzy Governance Environment

    No full text
    Putting forward an innovative way of looking at planning problems and policies, this volume suggests actor-consulting is important in addressing the fuzzy nature of planning. Including contributions from Patsy Healy, Johan Woltjer, Don Miller and Karel Martens, the volume presents a variety of case studies which demonstrate the use of the actor-consulting model in addressing planning issues.</p

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
