AbstractFloods cause enormous damage on land and thus question the boundary between water in an extreme way. As floods increase frequency intensity, flood risk management must change from a resistance-based approach to resilience approach. Whereas uses require robust boundaries water, changing system demands more flexible boundaries. This contribution discusses this tension theoretical perspective of co-evolution, using socio-ecological systems offers new co-evolving frontier water.Keywords:...
Participation is an often-demanded process in disaster risk reduction (DRR). However, it often unclear who understands what under this term. International organizations such as the United Nations have promoted participation their DRR strategies since 1980s, but further research needed on its opportunities and limitations. Here we highlight understood by according to different actors various international contexts. This study was motivated a workshop where flood-risk resilience experts from...
While solar farm developments contribute to sustainable energy goals, they often face high levels of local opposition due their expected negative impacts on the direct environment. Community benefits are a promising tool reduce opposition, as have proven do so in wind developments. By adding multiple functions farm, for community - other than production can be generated. However, also examples exist where not managed opposition. Therefore, this research aims understand role acceptance...
This systematic literature review explores justice operationalization in spatial planning, examining key markers, domains, and conceptions. Clarity definition can advance the discourse beyond processes or outcomes. Our reveals prevalence of implicit egalitarian values through words like “equity” “equality,” while pluralistic markers “participation” allow for varied interpretations depending on context. The relationship between procedural distributive justice, though rarely addressed, has...
Although flood risk management is traditionally regarded as a governmental responsibility, homeowners in Flanders (Belgium) have crucial role reduction. With this mind, the Environment Agency executed pilot study which were offered free tailor-made advice on floodproofing. To evaluate advice, we conducted interviews and survey of participating homeowners. On basis conclude that, to improve homeowner's contribution towards more effective flood-resilient (peri-)urban areas, there need for...
The open space in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, can hardly be seen as really open. From Middle Ages onward this area has been known for its spread out development pattern, which even strengthened recent decades. Especially residential ribbon and omnipresent infrastructure are widely recognised. These developments have led to an intense fragmentation space. In paper we present two new methods analyse quantify from a spatial planning perspective, compare them with existing methods....
The multi-layer safety approach was introduced in 2009 the Netherlands as a result of shift from flood prevention to risk management. It aims at reducing risks by integrating defensive measures against floods (layer 1), resilient spatial planning 2), and effective disaster management 3). But how are these integrated? This contribution explores that question with qualitative case study Zwolle. In particular, policy territorial integration among multiple stakeholders analysed. analysis shows...
Abstract Many river rehabilitation projects have been implemented in the past 30 years, strengthening natural dynamics and ecology of systems, while reconciling functions flood protection, navigation, sediment extraction, cultural identity. Still, planning design floodplain is subject to debate on how best follow “natural” characteristics specific stretches, “DNA river.” Unlike many other approaches integrated management, this approach entails a strategy for spatial quality development at...

Het veerkrachtprincipe wordt algemeen erkend als vernieuwend theoretisch kader om met verandering en onzekerheid te gaan, ook binnen de ruimtelijke planning. De buigzaamheid van het begrip zorgt er echter voor dat het, net duurzaamheid, al gauw een containerbegrip wordt. Hoe kan concept bijdragen aan planningstheorie -praktijk?
The OECD Water Governance Principles provide a guideline for good water governance. However, these principles can conflict with each other when applied in practice. This contribution aims to understand which dilemmas arise and how such conflicts play out. It is explored an in-depth case study on Dutch flood risk management between the emerge Interviews managers were used collect data contradict work out reveals that although seem obvious, some indeed clash applying them, while others do not...
