  • Master Thesis Multinational Villages in the Euroregion Rhine-Waal
    Master Thesis Maarten Goossens S4615646 Radboud University Nijmegen Human Geography: Conflicts, Territories and Identities June 2019 Multinational villages in the Euroregion Rhine-Waal Supervised by: Martin van der Velde And the thing called Europe has become a patchwork of colourful places, and everyone is a stranger as soon as they stick their nose out of their village. There are more strangers than inhabitants in this God blessed continent... Everyone considers their business to be the most important one and no one is planning to sacrifice anything. First of all, to start with, we draw a demarcation line. We split up. We need a boundary. Because we are all for ourselves. But an earth bends under these foolish people, a soil under them and a heaven above them. The borders run criss-cross Europe. In the long term, however, no one can separate people - not borders and not soldiers - if they just don't want to. (Kurt Tuchulsky alias Peter Panter, Berliner Volkszeitung, 27-06-1920) ii Preface The last few months I crossed the Dutch-German border on a daily basis. I did so in a bus, filled with school children speaking Dutch one moment, German the other as if it were one and the same language for them. Often with international students and other people from all over the world making their way from the one side of the border to the other. On my daily trip from Nijmegen to Kleve I sometimes forgot where I was, or fell asleep, and then suddenly noticed I already had crossed the border.

  • Succesvol Landschap
    LESSEN VOOR SUCCESVOL INVESTEREN IN LANDSCHAP Voorwoord Deze brochure bewijst mijn stelling dat mensen graag verantwoordelijkheid willen nemen voor hun landschap. En dat ze daar op allerlei manieren in willen investeren. Particuliere grondeigenaren, burgers en bedrijven blijken bereid om met lokale initiatiefnemers mee te werken aan het behoud van het landschap in hun streek. Er zijn allerlei plannen en instrumenten bedacht, maar het ministerie van EL&I wilde weten of die ook werken in de praktijk. Daarom heeft het ministerie in het kader van de Agenda Landschap in 2007 aan het publiek gevraagd om met goede voorbeelden te komen. De ministeries van EL&I en I&M waren bereid om de uitvoering van die ideeën financieel te ondersteunen. De vier beste ideeën zijn aangewezen als Voorbeeldgebied Financiering Landschap: Amstelland, Binnenveld, Het Groene Woud en Ooijpolder-Groesbeek. Dit jaar ronden wij de Agenda Landschap af en maken we met de betrokken partijen in de voorbeeldgebieden de balans op. Deze brochure beschrijft de belangrijkste lessen die wij trekken uit deze voorbeelden. Zo blijkt dat financieringsconstructies pas gaan werken als met diverse partners in de streek wordt samengewerkt en mensen worden aangesproken op hun betrokkenheid bij hun landschap. Ik hoop en verwacht dat geïnteresseerde partijen deze lessen dankbaar in praktijk zullen brengen. Ik zou zeggen: “Doe hier uw voordeel mee om het landschap in uw streek te behouden, te herstellen en verder te ontwikkelen”. De Staatssecretaris van Economische Zaken, Landbouw en Innovatie, dr. Henk Bleker De vier voorbeeldgebieden In vier voorbeeldgebieden is ervaring opgedaan met nieuwe particuliere Amstelland financieringsconstructies. Ook worden de maatschappelijke baten vastgesteld van het toegankelijker en mooier maken van het landschap.
