INTRODUCTION Country location Belgium is in the northwest of Europe, between 51° 30’ and 49° 30’ N, and 2° 33’ and 6° 24’ E. It borders the Netherlands to the north, Germany and Luxemburg to the east, France to the south and the North Sea to the west (Figure 1). It has a land area of 30 528 km2 and is traversed by two main rivers, flowing north– south: the Scheldt and the Meuse. Both rise in France and flow into the North Sea in the Netherlands. For administrative purposes, the country is divided into three regions, ten provinces and 589 municipalities (Figure 2). Language, communities, gov- ernment, administration and economy. Belgium is a constitu- tional monarchy, established in 1830. Its structure and functions have been changed by a series of constitutional reforms (in Figure 1. Map of Belgium showing the main towns and borders with surrounding countries and the North Sea coast 1970, 1980, 1988–89, 1993 and Source: World Factbook, 2009. 2001) into a federal State of three regions, the Flemish, the Walloon and Brussels-Capital, which have authority over socio-economic matters such as economy, envi- ronment and agriculture. The Federal Government is respon- sible for topics such as justice, social security, fiscal affairs and national defence. Dutch, French and German are the three official languages. Dutch is spoken by about 6 000 000 Flemish people, mainly in Flanders. French is spoken by about 4 000 000 mainly in Wallonie and in Brussels. German is used by a community of about 74 000 (in 2007) (FPS Economy, 2008), in the east of the Walloon Region. The Flemish and the Figure 2. Administrative map Walloon Regions are officially Source: IGN, 2007. 6 Country Pasture/Forage Resource Profile unilingual and the Brussels-Capital Region is officially bilingual. The vast majority of the inhabitants of Brussels speak French (Belgian Federal Government, 2008). The Belgian State is a pioneer member of the European Union. With the Netherlands and Luxemburg, it created Benelux in 1944, a core number of States that coordinated several aspects of their socio- economic policies before the creation of the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957. Its currency is the euro. Belgium had a gross domestic product (GDP) in 2007 of €319 billion (FPS Economy, 2008), which is supported by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Approximately 83% of Belgian companies have less than ten employees and 97% of the companies employ less than 50 people. SMEs account for over 70% of the GDP (FPS Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, 2006). Population. In January 2008, the population comprised 10 666 866 people (Flanders 6 161 600, Wallonie 3 456 775 and Brussels 1 048 491). The population increased at a rate of 0.34% between 1960 and 2008, and was higher after 1989. Three-quarters of this increase is explained by the migration balance and one- quarter by natural growth (FPS Economy – Directorate-General Statistics and Economic Information [DGSEI] Press Release, 28 August 2008). Belgium is one of the most densely populated countries (about 350 inhabitants/km² in 2007) in the world (FPS Economy, 2008). However, the Flemish Region is twice as populous as the Walloon Region. The lowest density is in the Province of Luxemburg (about 60 inhabitants/km²) (Table 1). [Editors note : according to the World Factbook the population estimate for July 2009 was 10 414 336 with an estimated growth rate of 0.094%]. Belgium is very urbanized, with 15 urban areas of more than 80 000 inhabitants, comprising about 53% of the total population (FPS Economy – DGSEI, 2009). Land area and land structure. Table 1.

  • Bankfull Discharge Recurrence Interval in Gravel-Bed Rivers
    EARTH SURFACE PROCESSES AND LANDFORMS, VOL 22, 685±693 (1997) BANKFULL DISCHARGE RECURRENCE INTERVAL IN GRAVEL-BED RIVERS F. PETIT* AND A. PAUQUET Department of Physical Geography, University of LiÁege, Institut de GÂeographie, AllÂee du AoÃut, 2, Sart Tilman, BÃatiment B11, B4000 LiÁege, Belgium Received 17 February 1995; Revised 22 August 1996; Accepted 31 August 1996 ABSTRACT Bankfull discharge was identi®ed in some 30 gravel-bed rivers representing in total c. 40 gauging stations. The catchment sizes vary from 4km2 to nearly 2700km2. Bankfull discharge value increases with basin size. In the case of gravel-bed 1´044 rivers developed on an impermeable substratum, the following equation emerges: Qb=0´087 A . Bankfull discharge recurrence interval was determined by ®tting maximum annual ¯oods (Ta) into Gumbel's distribution and then using the partial duration series (Tp) in this same distribution. Recurrence interval is below 0´7 years (Tp) for small pebble-bed rivers developed on an impermeable substratum; it reaches 1´1 to 1´5 years when the catchment size of these rivers exceeds 250km2. Rivers incised in the soft schists of the Famenne show larger channel capacity at bankfull stage, a small width/ depth ratio and thus higher recurrence intervals (1´4±5´3 years with Ta and 1±4´4 years with Tp). Base¯ow-dominated gravel-bed streams and sandy or silty rivers experience less frequent bankfull discharges, with a recurrence interval higher than 2 or even 3 years (Tp). 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Cornez, 7000 Mons, Belgium. 4Architecture, University of Liège, 41 Boulevard de la Constitution, 4020 Liège, Belgium. * corresponding author: [email protected]. ABSTRACT. This study aims to characterize Belgian clays in order to evaluate their use for manufacture of compressed earth blocks (CEB). Nineteen Belgian clay deposits were sampled in 56 sites and 135 samples were collected and analyzed. The analyses focus on the determination of particle size, plasticity, nature and mineralogy as the main characteristics for assessing the suitability of the raw clays to make CEB. These analyses allow for classifying the sampled clay deposits in three categories: clays that can be used unchanged to make CEB (2 clay deposits), clays that are suitable for the manufacture of CEB but require addition of sand and gravel particles (13 clay deposits) and clays that are suitable for the manufacture of CEB if they are mixed with other raw clays (4 clay deposits). In order to verify the use of these clays, five of them served as a model for making CEB. The strength of these bricks was evaluated by testing for compressive strength and abrasion resistance. The results of these tests confirm the suitability or not of the sampled clays for the manufacture of CEB.

  • Sequence Analysis and Transition to Adulthood: an Exploration of the Access to Reproduction in Nineteenth-Century East Belgium in Ph

Bühlmann and J.-A. Gauthier (eds) Advances in Sequences Analysis: Theory, Methods, Applications. Berlin: Springer-Verlag. Pages 151-167. Sequence analysis and transition to adulthood: An exploration of the access to reproduction in Nineteenth- 1 Century East Belgium Michel Oris and Gilbert Ritschard Abstract In the population history of European pre-industrial population, late marriage and high level of final celibacy are seen as the most important components of demographic regimes, avoiding an excessive demographic pressure on scarce resources. While during the last decades the scientific approach emphasized the study of individual life trajectories, life transitions are still often considered isolated from each other. In this paper, we look at marriage from an original perspective, as one event on the road to adulthood, whom the position in a given life course is related with other steps like leaving home, establishing a household, and the access to legitimate reproduction through a first birth. Sequence analysis is definitively the appropriate tool for a holistic and integrative approach of the various roads young men and women could take to enter into adulthood. Working on 19th century rural regions in East Belgium, we used TraMineR to reconstruct sequences and identified four clusters both for males and females. To complete this exploratory data-mining with an explanatory point of view, we proceeded to univariate ANOVA-like discrepancy analyses of the life trajectories, and then grew a regression tree for our sequences.

  • The #1Bru1vote Manifesto Call for the Right to Vote in Brussels-‐Capital R
    The #1bru1Vote Manifesto Also petition text Call for the right to vote in Brussels-Capital Region elections for all Brussels residents “One Brusseleir One Vote!” On 26 May 2019, as the Brussels-Capital Region celebrates its 30 years of existence, citizens of Brussels-Capital will vote to elect the assembly of this city-region – the Brussels-Capital Parliament. But not all residents of Brussels, or Brusseleirs, will be able to vote! 1 in 3 Brussels-Capital residents – or 415,000 people – are denied the right to vote, and are prevented from taking an active political role, because they are non-Belgian. These 280,000 European Union citizens and 135.000 citizens with other nationalities are second- class citizens in this city-region, since they are excluded from the democratic process. And yet they are Brusseleirs like everyone else—who live, love, work, study, pay taxes and contribute in so many ways to make Brussels-Capital a better home for everyone. These 415,000 Brusseleirs who are excluded, do not have a say on decisions that affect their day-to-day lives, such as mobility and public transport, urban planning and heritage, parks and green spaces, waste and recycling, infrastructure and public works, pollution and air quality, energy and sustainable development, family allocations and education as well as budget. It is true that all inhabitants of Brussels-Capital, regardless of nationality, can vote in local « communal elections ». But this is an insufficient right because it is fragmented across the 19 communes. While it is at the level of the Brussels-Capital Region, one of the three federal entities in Belgium, that Brusseleirs' life is really organized, and that significant decisions - and policy-making take place.
