Als het criterium van de fluviatiele herkomst van het sediment als kenmerk voor delta's moet gelden, dan is de Rijndelta gedurende het Holoceen slechts tijdelijk een delta geweest.

De trend in de ontwikkeling van de schone Hollandse kust sinds het begin van de progradatie is die van een graduele versteiling van het kustprofiel, gekoppeld aan het stelselmatig in aantal afnemen van zeegaten in het kustvak Hoek van Holland-Bergen en een toename van de eolische 'lek' vanuit de zeereep. 3. De kustafzettingen in West Nederland beneden de zgn. dagelijkse golfbasis zijn primair storm-geinduceerd. Dit proefschrift. 4. Het is aannemelijk dat in het Subboreaal het energetisch go1fkli­ maat in de kustzone van de zuidelijke Noordzee aanzienlijk lager is geweest dan thans. De toenma1ige lage zeespiegelstand, in combinatie met de morfologie van de Noordzeebodem ter plaatse zijn in dit opzicht bepalend geweest.

I thank him also for his occasionally fatherly advice. - to my referent Thomas Roep, for making time for discussions, which invariably seemed to be too short. I thank W. Roeleveld, W.H. Zagwijn, D.J. Beets and Th.B. Roep for reading and commentating on earlier versions of the manuscript and suggesting improvements. - to Wim de Gans, as a member of the "steering committee", for the adequate arrangement of drilling infrastructure. - to my teachers, my collaegues during this study, at the Free University and at the Geological Survey of the Netherlands for their support and advice, even when I dared not ask for it. The discussions with the "Young Turks" at the Quaternary Geology Department of the Free University are a pleasant memory: I thank them for the basis on which theories were formulated... and rejected. In this respect I whish to thank many people involved in the so-called "Coastal Genesis" Group. This group has formed a highly inspiring background in coastal studies in the southern North Sea area. The participation of Rijkswaterstaat (which stimulates geological research for practical implementation in coastal defence plans) has to be acknowledged in the persons of Erik Bouwmeester, and Hans Wiersma, the present and the past project managers respectively of "Coastal Genesis". The contributions by my co-authors are highly appreciated. In particular, Dirk Beets should be mentioned, but also Marcel Stive in this respect did his utmost. Their company has always been enjoyable and fruitful. During the final preparation of this thesis, I received considerable support from many people. I wish to name some of them: Erno Oele is thanked for allowing me to finish this thesis partially in Survey time.

    Aan Gedeputeerde Staten van Zuid-Holland cc. College van B&W Leidschendam-Voorburg Stompwijk, 15 februari 2021 Betreft: uitvoering van motie 867 en geluidbeperkende maatregelen A4/ Vlietland/Vogelplas Op 26 november 2020 hebben wij, bewoners van buurtschap ‘Het Paddemoes’ (Stompwijkseweg te Leidschendam/ Stompwijk, aan weerszijde van de brug naar de Kniplaan en bewoners van de Kniplaan), gereageerd op het rapport van Sweco, betreffende uitvoering van motie 867 geluidsbeperkende maatregelen Vlietland. Daarnaast hebben ook de Adviesraad Stompwijk en de Gemeente Leidschendam-Voorburg gereageerd op het rapport. Helaas heeft tot onze verbazing de gemeente L-V op 9 februari nog een verduidelijking van haar standpunt toegezonden aan uw college. Hierin wordt aangegeven dat zij op basis van eerdere besluiten van de gemeenteraad toch een geluidsscherm van 3 meter hoog wil bij de Vogelplas. Dit is nadrukkelijk niet de wens van de bewoners aan de Stompwijkse zijde van de A4 en gaat volledig voorbij aan onze belangen!! Kern van onze eerdere reactie was dat door het realiseren van een geluidscherm langs de westzijde van de A4 wij als bewoners (en de recreanten in ons gebied) geconfronteerd worden met een flinke inbreuk op ons uitzicht. De doorkijk naar met name de Vogelplas en de Vliet is dan niet meer mogelijk, doordat de A4 ruimtelijk gezien het eindpunt wordt. Tegelijkertijd houden wij (en de recreanten) wel het zicht op het voortrazende verkeer, met de bijbehorende geluidsoverlast. Als bewoners van buurtschap ‘Het Paddemoes’ zouden wij het dan ook zeer terecht vinden als er ook aan de Stompwijkse kant identieke geluidswerende voorzieningen worden getroffen om zowel het uitzicht als de geluidoverlast te beperken.

    CHAPTER 6 Selling a “Dutch Experience”: Images in Tourism and Consumer Culture Dellmann, Sarah, Images of Dutchness. Popular Visual Culture, Early | 265 Cinema, and the Emergence of a National Cliché, 1800-1914. Amsterdam University Press, 2018 doi: 10.5117/9789462983007_ch06 ABSTRACT This chapter investigates early tourist discourse (1875-1914) on the Nether- lands through material of mostly British, German, and Dutch origin – travel brochures from Thomas Cook, the Vereeniging voor Vreemdelingenverkeer (VVV), and the Centraal Bureau voor Vreemdelingenverkeer, as well as guide- books and travel writings. It traces the emergence of commercial tourism to the Netherlands by bringing together earlier forms of leisure travel to the Netherlands and the discovery of the Netherlands as a place worthwhile visit- ing by painters and writers of the Romanticist movement. In tourist discourse, information is linked to the advertising or purchase of a service or commod- ity – a travel arrangement, a postcard, or a souvenir. These commodities serve as mediators for experiencing the visited country; hence other visual media of consumer culture are investigated as well (advertising trade cards, picture post- cards). Images in tourist discourse and consumer culture mostly use the form of the cliché, regardless if these images were produced by Dutch or foreign peo- ple. The chapter concludes with a discussion of Dutch reactions to the cliché, which calls for rethinking the divide between self-image and outsiders’ image. KEYWORDS visual culture; consumer culture; tourism; visual media; nineteenth century; twentieth century; cliché; self-image and outsider’s image; landscape paint- ing; Romanticism; Picturesque 6.1 INTRODUCTION: DISCOVERING THE AUTHENTIC Information from promotional material in tourist discourse is often met with suspicion.

  • Dirk Van Santhorst Ontvangt Het Ambacht Sotrewold in Leen Van Graaf Floris V
    1276 1 September: Dirk van Santhorst ontvangt het Ambacht Sotrewold in leen van graaf Floris V. Hiermee vangt in feite het zelfstandig bestaan aan van de ambachtsheerlijkheid Soeterwoude doordat Dirk de zeggenschap kreeg over de lagere rechtsmacht. N.B. Een leen is een eigendom onder speciale voorwaarden. Deze vorm bestaat thans niet meer. (bronnen: o.a. Suetan 21, 22 en 57 en de aantekeningen van J.J. v.d. Does) 1280 Voor het eerst wordt melding gemaakt van een kerk in het dorp met een losstaande toren. Waarschijnlijk viel het gebied van de Rijndijk toen al gedeeltelijk onder de Pieterskerk te Leiden terwijl een ander deel onder de kerk van Leiderdorp viel. 1281 Voor het eerst wordt melding gemaakt van “die hoeve” Rodenburg. Graaf Floris V geeft een groot veengebied met Benthuizen als kern in “leen” uit. Tegelijkertijd draagt hij ook het visrecht in de Swiet, de Noord Aa en in de Burmade in “leen” over. Dit laatste watertje vormde de verbinding tussen de Swiet en de Willick, nu een onderdeel van de Hoogeveense vaart. Het ligt iets ten noorden van het huidige Weddepad. 1286 Graaf Floris V verenigt de ambten van Dijkgraaf en Baljuw van Rijnland. De Baljuw was de hoogste rechterlijke functionaris van een gebied, in dit geval van Rijnland. Hiermede wilden de heemraden van het “Heemraetschap van den Spaarndamme” (zie 1255) hun beslissingen een dwingend karakter kunnen geven. 1289 Graaf Floris V vaardigt een keur uit betreffende het tienderecht en de rechtspraak van “Zoutwouder Ambacht”. 1292 Jacobus, rector et decanus Rinlandiae (rector en deken van Rijnland), pastoor te Soeterwoude.

  • 1 “ SAND ENGINE “ : BACKGROUND and DESIGN of a MEGA-NOURISHMENT PILOT in the NETHERLANDS Jan P.M. Mulder1,2,3 and Pieter Ko
    “ SAND ENGINE “ : BACKGROUND AND DESIGN OF A MEGA-NOURISHMENT PILOT IN THE NETHERLANDS Jan P.M. Mulder1,2,3 and Pieter Koen Tonnon1 Coastal policy in the Netherlands is characterised by three scale levels. The smallest scale is aimed at the preservation of safety agaisnt flooding by maintaining a minimum dune strength; the middle- and large scales at preservation of sustainable safety and of functions in the coastal zone by maintaining the coast line, respectively the sand volume in the coastal foundation. The definition of three scales basically implies a pro-active approach, based on the idea that the larger scale sets boundary conditions for the smaller scale. This pro-active approach appears to be succesful: nourishments since 1990 not only have resulted in maintaining the coast line, but also in an extension of the dunes, contributing to an increased safety against flooding. The succes has been achieved by a yearly nourishment volume of 12 Mm3. Recent studies have indicated the need to upscale the yearly averaged nourishment volume. A recent update of the sediment balance of the coastal foundation shows a negative total of ca. 20 Mm3 per year; so apparently 12 Mm3 nourishments per year is insufficient to maintain the total active sand volume of the system. Besides, in a study on future adaptation options to climate change in the Netherlands, the authoritive Deltacommissie (2008) even recommends a raise of nourishment budgets up to 85 Mm3/year until the year 2050, taking into account an ultimate worst case scenario of a sea level rise of 13 cm in 2100.
