  • Helsinki, Stockholm, Amsterdam
    HELSINKI, STOCKHOLM, AMSTERDAM How to stimulate housing production? An exchange of experience This report is part of the collaboration of the cities of Helisnki, Stockholm and Amsterdam and written by mr Cor de Jong, by the development corporation, city of Amsterdam. [email protected] Copyright of this research lay with the Development Corporation Amsterdam. This research can be used in other publications with mentioning the name of its owner: The Development Corporation Amsterdam. 1 European cities learn from each other: Helsinki, Amsterdam and Stockholm exchange experiences in order to stimulate housing production. Background Housing production has been a hot topic in a number of European countries for some time. In the Neth- erlands, the concern about achieving the objectives at both national and local levels has led to policy initiatives and to adjustment of the available instruments. Research shows that housing production in various European cities is at the least an area of attention and sometimes also a source of concern. In a joint project, the European cities Helsinki, Amsterdam and Stockholm exchanged knowledge and experience. The aim: can we learn something from each other in the area of promoting housing production? This article examines the interim results of the co- operative efforts. It first offers a brief description of how the exchange came about and what form it took in practice. The exchange in practice This exchange project came about more or less by accident. Representatives of the municipalities of Stockholm and Amsterdam who were attending an international conference in the autumn of 2003 hap- pened to start talking about what was going on in their city.

  • A Case of Camino De Santiago
    sustainability Article Motivational Landscape and Evolving Identity of a Route-Based Religious Tourism Space: A Case of Camino de Santiago Hany Kim 1 , Semih Yilmaz 2 and Soyoun Ahn 3,* 1 Department of Tourism and Convention, Pusan National University, Busan 46241, Korea 2 Department of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism, California State University, East Bay, Hayward, CA 94542, USA 3 Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 May 2019; Accepted: 25 June 2019; Published: 27 June 2019 Abstract: Religious destinations today are visited by a large number of tourists, whose travel motives may vary from purely religious to purely secular. Diverse motives and on-site experiences are, in turn, causing a shift in the identity perception of these destinations. However, research is still limited regarding the dynamic relationship between travelers’ motivation and the perceived identity of a religious space. Using a theoretical–thematic analysis, this study analyzes the online written accounts of visitors to Camino de Santiago (a route-based pilgrimage site) to understand (i) the motivational and experiential differences among religious versus non-religious travelers, and (ii) the perceived identity of Camino with respect to Smith’s “pilgrimage–tourism continuum”. Despite the increase in secular motives, the majority of travelers showed some form of spiritual connection with Camino. Concurrent with the contemporary shifts in the idea of “religion”, Camino continues to be a religious place driven by inner goals, albeit in a more personal, interpretive, and “spiritual” way. Keywords: religious tourism; route-based tourism; pilgrimage; destination identity; motivation; push–pull; Camino de Santiago 1.

More so, in fact, because the symbols of Dutch culture that we readily recognize all have water in their roots. The connections are revealed everywhere; from the iconic canals edging the streets of Amsterdam, to the perfectly lined sluits of the country side. Water is what makes this country work, but now more than ever, the threat of water calls for some serious attention. The resiliency of the Netherlands stems from its ability to adapt to change in climate, society, and the environment. In this way they have moved towards methods that aim to live with water rather than without. Informed by the methods of the past, the Dutch revive historic solutions to suite their modern needs. They celebrate water in their streets, canals, and rivers, they put water to use, they design with it in mind, and they resist it only when absolutely necessary.
