Inhoudelijke vragen krijgen steeds vaker een procesmatig antwoord. Vaak wordt echter over het hoofd gezien dat de keuze voor een pro- cesaanpak zeer sturend is voor de (inhoudelijke) uitkomst (dit proef­ schrift). 2. De marginale positie van toeristische actoren in rurale (beleids-) netwer- ken is zowel oorzaak als gevolg van het gebrek aan serieuze beleids- aandacht voor dit thema (dit proefschrift). 3. Het gebrek aan aandacht voor toeristische innovaties in plattelandsver- nieuwingsprocessen vormt een bedreiging voor de toekomst van de sector, maar ook voor detoekoms t van het platteland (dit proefschrift). 4. Toeristische ondernemers zouden massaal lid moeten zijn van organi- saties voor landschapsbehoud, natuur en cultuurhistorie (dit proef­ schrift). 5. Toerist, dat benj e zelf. 6. Wetenschap, hoetoegepas t ook, heeft altijd iets vrijblijvends. 7. Wie vanwege zijn positie meer invloed heeft op het formuleren van re- gels, moetoo k harder worden gestraft bij overtrading ervan. 8. Als kranten meer goed nieuws zouden brengen zou het vertrouwen in de samenleving met sprongen toenemen. Preface While carrying out my PhD research, I often felt a pioneer. This was both inspiring and frustrating: inspiring as it gave me the feeling of exploring a new subject; frustrating because exploring isno t similar to efficiently working towards apreviousl y defined goal. By finishing this book Ihav e left the frustration behind me- bu t Ia mstil l astonished that a subject as topical, interesting and strategically important as tourism development in rural areas is left topioneers . Tourism in general receives very little academic andpolic y attention: in the Netherlands there is about one academic researcher for each billion Euros turnover. One ofth e reasons behind the lack of attention for tourism istha t leisure is considered subordinate to work. While working on the last bits of this book, many people inm yenvironmen t must havethough t thatthi swa sth e case for mea swell . A number of people have been invaluable in creating the circumstances to make it possible to write this book. Before all, I would like to thank Hans, whose attitude towards my PhD research has always been that of a concerned and interested outsider. He provided me with food for thought, and never omitted to stress that finishing my thesis was important, but not if that would be at the cost of more important things. Our son Willem has probably been the best stimulus to finally finish this book. His presence isth ebes treminde r thatther e arebette rway st o spend myweekends . I am grateful to my colleagues at BUITEN, and especially to my business partner Joost Hagens. They have created the atmosphere and circumstances which made it possible to combine my consultancy work and my thesis and still have time left for a private life. Throughout the period that I worked on my thesis, my promotores always kept confidence in my approach. Ihav e experienced thejoin t supervision ofm y work by two men with quite different perspectives and working methods as both invaluable and inspiring. Adri Dietvorst - who combines vision and a keen nose for innovative ideas, with apractica l view and a healthy dose of pragmatism -pu t me back on the right track whenever I lost my focus. Hans Hetsen kept an eye on the research design and crucial details. Through hisjo b at the Innovation Network he also provided a link with policy practice. Due to my colleagues at the Centre for Recreation and Tourism Studies - a much better name than the current one -an dth e fellow AIOs in 'De Hucht', Ihav e experienced my time in Wageningen as a very pleasant one. In the course of time many people left and sometimes others came in their place. One permanent factor were the 'women under 35': Birgit, Femke and Lianne. My colleagues offered not only pleasance, we also had plenty discussions and with somepeopl e Iclosel y cooperated. With Birgit Elands,Renz e Brouwer, Jan Philipsen and Wim van der Knaap I discussed the in's and out's of Lefebvres 'Production of Space'. The article with Jan Philipsen contributed significantly to the theoretical part of this thesis. Cooperation with Geoffrey Hagelaar was momentary, but sharpened my thoughts on interactive policy-making. The person in Wageningen I cooperated with the most is Rene van der Duim. Ihav e learned a lot from the projects we jointly work(ed) on and have enjoyed our trips to Costa Rica. Han's coffee - violently - helped to wake me up on many a morning when the canteen was closed. Special thanks to Tom 'Pirn' Slijkerman for the analysis of the data with all possible means: SPSS, UCINET and coloured pencils. And also for his free advice on howt ous ewallpape r gluet o improveth e substance ofshampoo .

The inevitable urbanization of society would not take place at the expense of whole sectors, nor would it exacerbate unevenness in growth or development; it would successfully transcend the opposition between town and country instead of degrading both by turning them in to an undifferentiated mass.

  • Nude in Mexico
    Feb. 1, 2004---- RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO -- The road is full of questions that inevitably lead to the beauty of travel. This is how I find myself leaning on a bar at the Moonlight disco at the Hidden Beach Resort-Au Naturel Club, the only upscale and not clothing- optional nudist resort in Mexico. A naked woman walks up to me and asks, "Is this your first naked experience?" Gee, how can she tell? I am standing in a corner of the bar that is under a shadow of doubt. About 20 naked couples have finished doing a limbo dance on a cool night along the Caribbean Sea. With the exception of a gentleman from Mexico, I am the only single guy in the disco. At this point, no one knows I am a journalist, but I am the only person in the room still wearing a bathrobe. It is too cold to be bold. Besides, I am so shy, I do not limbo with my clothes on. I barely ever go to clothed cocktail parties. My chipper friends are also mastering "The Macarena." Talk about your Polaroid moments. Cameras are not allowed at Hidden Beach. One dude is playing pool naked. Another guy looks like Jeff "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Garlin. His wife is applying for a job at Hidden Beach. He smiles and takes off his robe to join in a group dance to Marcia Griffith's "Electric Boogie." Nude tourists are more open and they bond faster. I have another shot of tequila. I am here for you. The nude recreation industry is news.

  • Evaluatie Súdwest-Fryslân - Herindeling En Bestuurskracht
    Evaluatie Súdwest-Fryslân - Herindeling en Bestuurskracht Eindrapport Februari 2014 dr Linze Schaap dr Leon van de Dool 1 Dit onderzoek is uitgevoerd in opdracht van het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties, de provincie Fryslân en de gemeente Súdwest-Fryslân. De verantwoordelijkheid voor de inhoud van het onderzoek berust bij de auteurs. De inhoud vormt niet per definitie een weergave van de standpunten van de opdrachtgevers. 2 VOORWOORD Voor u ligt een Eindrapport van een bijzonder onderzoek. In het zuidwesten van de provincie Fryslân zijn vijf gemeenten samengevoegd. Naar de effecten van die gemeentelijke herindeling is, naar aanleiding van een verzoek daartoe van de Tweede Kamer, onderzoek gedaan. Het bijzondere is niet zozeer de herindeling als zodanig; er worden vaker gemeenten samengevoegd. Ook niet de omvang van de fusie maakt dit een speciale casus; ook bijvoorbeeld de gemeente Westland (ZH) is een fusie van vijf voormalige gemeenten. Bijzonder is wel, dat in het zuidwesten van Fryslân een gemeente van maar liefst 69 kernen gecreëerd werd; dat maakt het spannend. Het onderzoek is gestart in 2011 en afgerond in januari 2014. Aan dit Eindrapport gaan vier deelrapporten vooraf; die zijn opgenomen in een aparte bijlage. Er is naar gestreefd van elk deelrapport een zelfstandig leesbaar document te maken; dat heeft als consequentie dat de lezer die alle rapporten doorneemt, herhalingen tegen zal komen, vooral waar het gaat om de doelen van de herindeling en de opzet van het evaluatieonderzoek. Dat bleek onvermijdelijk. Wie geïnteresseerd is in enkele karakteristieken van het zuidwesten van Fryslân en de aanloop naar de gemeentelijke herindeling, verwijzen wij graag naar het eerste deelrapport: de Nulnotitie.

  • Pieterpad 2004-2005
    Pieterpad 2004-2005 Onlangs heb ik besloten het Pieterpad te gaan lopen in 4 etappes. 1 De bedoeling is 2 etappes in 2004 en 2 in 2005. De 1e etappe is gepland in de week van Hemelvaart. De anderen zijn nog niet bepaald. De 1e etappe zal ik alleen lopen. De anderen zijn nog niet bekend. Maar de beleving is, naar mijn mening, het grootst als je alleen loopt. Ik heb de 2 boekjes gekocht en de kaartjes gecopieerd om het boekje netjes te houden. De 1e etappe verblijven Corrie en ik, met Pim, op de camping “De Warme Bossen” in Schoonloo in Drente. Vanaf deze camping rijd ik met de auto naar het vertrekpunt of eindpunt. Heen of terug met het openbaar vervoer of regiotaxi. Het Pieterpad vangt aan in Pieterburen in Groningen en eindigt op de St. Pietersberg in Zuid Limburg. 2 Pieterburen- Winsum. Zaterdag 15 mei 2004: 11,5 km. Om half 8 vertrekken we van huis met auto en caravan. Onderweg hebben we enkele picnicstops gedaan. Om o.g. 12.00 uur arriveren we op de camping “de Warme Bossen”. Het is even wat extra werk met het opzetten van de nieuwe voortent. Om 13.15 uur staat alles op zijn plaats. Ik wil vandaag nog de 1e etappe lopen. Dus snel wat eten en op naar Pietenburen. Ik rijd met de auto naar Winsum en met de regiotaxi naar Pieterburen, omdat er maar enkele bussen per dag naar Pieterburen rijden. Om 14.15 ben ik in Winsum ( 65 km). Ik bel direkt de regiotaxi. De telefonist zegt, dat ik een 1 uur eerder had moeten bellen, want nu moet ik 1 uur wachten.

  • Putting Frisian Names on the Map
    GEGN.2/2021/68/CRP.68 15 March 2021 English United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names Second session New York, 3 – 7 May 2021 Item 12 of the provisional agenda * Geographical names as culture, heritage and identity, including indigenous, minority and regional languages and multilingual issues Putting Frisian names on the map Submitted by the Netherlands** * GEGN.2/2021/1 ** Prepared by Jasper Hogerwerf, Kadaster GEGN.2/2021/68/CRP.68 Introduction Dutch is the national language of the Netherlands. It has official status throughout the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In addition, there are several other recognized languages. Papiamentu (or Papiamento) and English are formally used in the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, while Low-Saxon and Limburgish are recognized as non-standardized regional languages, and Yiddish and Sinte Romani as non-territorial minority languages in the European part of the Kingdom. The Dutch Sign Language is formally recognized as well. The largest minority language is (West) Frisian or Frysk, an official language in the province of Friesland (Fryslân). Frisian is a West Germanic language closely related to the Saterland Frisian and North Frisian languages spoken in Germany. The Frisian languages as a group are closer related to English than to Dutch or German. Frisian is spoken as a mother tongue by about 55% of the population in the province of Friesland, which translates to some 350,000 native speakers. In many rural areas a large majority speaks Frisian, while most cities have a Dutch-speaking majority. A standardized Frisian orthography was established in 1879 and reformed in 1945, 1980 and 2015.

Research was conducted through a standpoint methodology which combines interviews, participant observation and the first hand experiences of the researcher. The interview data reveals nudists' belief in a social pre­ occupation with body ideals and the power structures created by some uses of clothing. The subjects in this research apply their ex­ periences in both the clothed world and the non-clothed world to ex­ pose the implications of the social structures of clothing which appear to effect interpersonal relationships, gender and disability, inequality, prejudice and ageism.

AFFAIRE DES PRISES D'EAU A LA MEUSE Interprétation du Traité dzr 12 mai 1863 entre la Belgique et les Pays-Bas sur le régime des prises d'eau à la Meuse : ce traite' n'a pas créé, au profit de l'un des contractants, un droit de contrôle que l'autre ne pourrait exercer. L'obligation de puiser l'eau exclusivement à la rigole d'alimenta- tion de Maestricht s'impose aux deux contractants ; l'usage normal par eux d'écluses n'est pas incompatible avec le traité, à condition qu'aucune atteinte ne soit portée au régime institué par le traité; sous la même condition, droit pour chacune des Parties de modifier et d'agrandir les canaux soumis au traité, s'il s'agit de canaux situés sur son territoire et qui n'en sortent pas. Les Pays-Bas étaient en droit de modifier, sans l'agrément de la Belgique, la hauteur d'eau dans la Meuse à Maestricht, du moment qu'aucune atteinte n'était portée au régime institué par le traité.
