Perceiving the GIANT. Bringing Back People Into Megaprojects: The Case of Indonesian Development Practice
No full textIntegrating Sustainability into Road Infrastructure Development: A Dead-end Street or a Promising Road?
No full textThe background of this dissertation lies in attempts made to integrate sustainability into the planning of road infrastructure development. Better integration is necessary to ensure that the three pillars of sustainable development (i.e., the economic, social, and environment pillars) and the intergenerational equity principle are also considered. The focus is on spatial planning because more action spaces are available early on in this process than later in the project lifecycle (i.e., construction and operation). Indonesia was selected as a case study because it represents a typical case of a developing country with limited capacity for, and limited awareness among stakeholders of, integrated decision-making. The main research question of the research underlying this dissertation was: What features explain the successful or limited integration of sustainability into planning road infrastructure development, and what specific strategies can be revealed by this investigation into the particular case of Indonesia as a developing country? In the present research, mixed data collection methods were used, namely a desk study, semi-structured interviews, and an online questionnaire. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out to explore the explanatory features for integrating sustainability into road planning from three perspectives, that is, content, context, and process. The results show that from the content perspective, the integration is determined by the coherent use of indicators included in the practiced assessment. Second, from the context perspective, the case of Indonesia shows that it is necessary to improve the broader decision-making context (e.g., leadership, shared interests, and inclusive participation of stakeholders). Third, from the process perspective, the framing and reframing of missions/goals and the effective use of environmental impact assessment to reflect the problems and solutions are necessary. In conclusion, this dissertation proposes a dual pathway to successful integration: (1) the improvement of institutions for integrated decision-making in the long run and (2) the mapping of opportunities to balance environmental and economic interests through more inclusive decision-making. The role of planners and policymakers is to navigate between both pathways to strengthen the governance of road infrastructure planning toward sustainable development

Full text linkGedetailleerde Kaarten van Amsterdam : Productie en gebruik van grootschalige, topografische kaarten
No full textThis dissertation on the most detailed maps of Amsterdam is a sequel to the books Maps of Amsterdam, Part I: 1538-1865 and Maps of Amsterdam, Part II: 1866-2012 published in 2013. Central to this third volume are the maps that are most frequently consulted by researchers on the history of the city. The criteria for dedicating a chapter to a map is that it had to show individual parcels in the city and that it could be reasonably assumed that the map presented a good contemporary large scale topographic image.
Chapter 1 deals with the motivation for using the 1:2500 scale as the limit for the concept of urban, large-scale, topographic cartography. It also discusses production methods and enters into the ways in which (old) maps and atlases communicated with their users. Also entered into are the most important functions that the mapping of Amsterdam had in the course of over four and a half centuries. Distinguishable are:
• The contemporary function (communicative values; map use).
• The function as a source for historical research.
Individual maps, map series and atlases are discussed in: Chapter 2 (maps of Amsterdam of Cornelis Anthonisz. (1544), Pieter Bast (1597) and Balthasar Florisz. van Berckenrode), Chapter 3 (draft allocation maps of Amsterdam (1586-1769), Chapter 4 (the 18th-century ’burgerwijkkaarten’ (civil district maps), Chapter 6 (An atlas with the division of the city of Amsterdam in 50 districts, 1850), Chapter 7 (a manuscript atlas of 1851-1852 with the house numbers of 1853), Chapter 8 (the atlas of Amsterdam, published by J.C. Loman jr., 1876), Chapter 10 (the manuscript map series of the ‘Bouw- & Woningtoezicht’ (Building Control Department, 1902 – ca. 1990), Chapter 11 (Map of Amsterdam, scale 1:1000 (1909) and Chapter 12. Production during wartime (WW2): Map of Amsterdam, scale 1:2500 (1939-1957).
Chapters 5, 9 and 13 are arranged differently. Chapter 5 focusses on the 1832 ‘minuutkaarten’ (original cadastral sheets) of central Amsterdam. These thirty-three sheets were executed under the direction of the Dutch government as part of a nationwide mapping, so it was not a local initiative. For these reasons, this important large-scale mapping was approached not from the state, but rather from the municipal, perspective. Central to this stands the role of the popularly called ‘Amsterdamse Gemeentekadaster’ (Amsterdam Municipal Land Registry Office). Chapter 9 is especially dedicated to the third quarter of the nineteenth century, a period in which we would expect to find large-scale cartography, but where it appears to be absent. Chapter 13 presents a comparison of the large-scale cartography of Amsterdam with that of several West European cities.
In Chapter 14 conclusions are mentioned above concerning the dating of images, the moment of publishing a map and on the model function that cadastral maps had for large-scale urban mapping later in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Another conclusion of this study is that scales of pre-cadastral maps were subordinated to the desired dimensions and details of the map to be made. From 1850 onwards, maps in Amsterdam appeared whose scales were decided beforehand (e.g. 1:1000, 1:1250, 1:2500, 1:5000 and 1:10,000). Research in several collections proved they have no equivalents of the Amsterdam series of ‘draft allocation maps’ and ‘civil district maps’. Even though the research was not extended to all the collections of all West European cities, it seems possible to conclude that Amsterdam is the only city that has available these large-scale maps. In this respect it is not an exaggeration to propose that Amsterdam is unique in the world

Book review: Strong stories - How the Dutch are reinventing spatial planning
No full text“This book makes a case for the power and importance of the
narrative, emotional, and symbolic aspects of spatial planning”
(p. 246). In Dutch and English, the editors of Strong
Stories—How the Dutch Are Reinventing Spatial Planning
present a theoretical planning concept: strong stories. The
authors reflect on practical planning examples throughout
the Netherlands, selecting many water-related planning
cases, such as river bypasses, polder developments, etc.
After introducing the concept of strong stories in the first
section, the book presents sections on knowledge and participation,
planning with stories, anchoring stories, and
finally on responsibility for quality and democracy, with the
concluding section summing up the findings.
In the introductory section, “The Power of Strong
Stories,” the editors state that “without a strong story there
can be no successful planning” (p. 13). They reflect on the
roles of planners and of their expertise in the planning process,
presenting a definition of planning that emphasizes the
key roles of communication and coordination (p. 14). The
editors conclude this section with the explanation that strong
stories lead to spatial quality by tying together visions,
knowledge, and democratic legitimacy.
After this introduction by the editors, four sections with a
similar structure follow. Each section consists of a general
introduction and some case studies presented by Hajer, van’t
Klooster, and Grijzen. Different authors in independent
essays then reflect on the overall topic of the section (without
referring to the case studies). This structure shows the
inductive way of elaborating on the idea of strong stories.
Methodologically, however, this structure is not always pursued
consistently—instead of using the same case studies in
different sections for discussion from various facets, some
case studies just run through all the sections while others are
just used selectively in particular sections. The selection of
cases is not well reasoned either. The essays do not all reflect
on the case studies presented by the editors and sometimes
present their own cases (e.g., in Hemel’s essay)
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
Buchrezension: van der Cammen, Hans; de Klerk, Len; Dekker, Gerhard; Witsen, Peter Paul (2013): The Selfmade Land: Culture and Evolution of Urban and Regional Planning in the Netherlands
No full textDie Niederlande seien das möglicherweise am meisten
überplante Land Europas, mit einer tief verwurzelten Planungskultur
von Ordnung und Effizienz, reklamieren die
Autoren von „The Selfmade Land“ gleich zu Beginn des
Buches. Obwohl die Niederlande ein relativ kleines Land
sind, wird deren Raumplanung in der internationalen Fachliteratur
viel beachtet und diskutiert (Faludi und van der
Valk 1994; Wesselink et al. 2007; Buitelaar 2010). „The
Selfmade Land“ reiht sich somit in eine Anzahl englischsprachiger
Fachbücher über die niederländische Raumplanung
ein. So behandelt Needham (2007) beispielsweise in
„Dutch land-use planning“ bodenpolitische Funktionen und
Effekte der niederländischen Planung, Hajer et al. (2010)
reflektieren in „Strong Stories – how the Dutch are reinventing
spatial planning“ anhand von Praxisbeispielen planungstheoretische
Konzepte in den Niederlanden.
Die Autoren von „The Selfmade Land“ nehmen eine
kulturhistorische Perspektive auf niederländische Raumplanung
ein. Das Buch versteht sich dabei nicht vorrangig als
ein wissenschaftliches Fachbuch (S. 12), sondern adressiert
mit seinem wissenschaftsjournalistischen Schreibstil ein
breiteres planungsinteressiertes Publikum und thematisiert
dabei die Kultur und Entwicklung der Raumplanung in den
Niederlanden. Bei dem Buch handelt es sich um eine seit
1986 stetig überarbeitete und nun erstmals ins Englische
übersetzte und erweiterte Ausgabe von „Ruimtelijke ordening:
van grachtengordel to Vinex-wijk“ (van der Cammen
und de Klerk 2003). Während die ursprünglichen Versionen
des Buches von Hans van der Cammen und Len de Klerk
stammen, sind bei der vorliegenden Version des Buches nun
zwei weitere Autoren beteiligt: Gerhard Dekker und Peter
Paul Witsen
