Burgmeijer ii Preface This report titled “Rehabilitation of Holwerd” is written and submitted by our group consisting of Alba Jiménez Moreno, Arefin Syed Shamsil, Attman Kar, Bruna de Queiroz, María Belén Rada Mora and Sanduni Disanayaka Mudiyanselage. This document summarizes our research study during the complete project, undertaken in the light of CIE4061-09 – Multidisciplinary Project. We want to sincerely thank Dr.ir. Bas Hofland for his support and are grateful for the help received by the Architecture students following AR1LA050. This report was written entirely by our group members and has not received any previous academic credit at this or any other academic institution. Delft, 6th of June, 2016 iii Executive Summary Holwerd is a village located at the coast of the Wadden Sea. Decisions made in the past have affected the town in a negative manner leading to an impoverishment of the region. Therefore, we were tasked with rehabilitating the city of Holwerd by establishing the connection with the sea and making the goal (Holwerd aan Zee) of the inhabitants come into a reality. In order to prioritize the different actions required to achieve the objective, a survey was conducted. Hence, a clearer view of what people are attracted to when choosing a destination is obtained. It was found that the most attractive option is the one that includes recreational elements (proximity to the sea restaurants and bars, hotels...), natural elements (parks, open spaces...) as well as cultural elements (museums, architecture…). Due to the high cost of this alternative, the project is divided into phases. In addition, an Environmental Impact Assessment was conducted to ensure a well-balanced project implementation. In this multidisciplinary project, the focus is mainly on the construction of the navigational channel through the dike connecting to a buffer lake. Together with the channel, the implementation of a sluice in the opening of the dike is also analysed. Through a multi-criteria evaluation each alternative of channel alignment and gates is assessed. These multi-criteria analyses determined that the optimal solution is to connect the navigational channel to a fresh water source where a canal and a small marina were already present. Regarding the type of gate, it resulted that the folding gate made of timber was the most suitable to be installed both in the dike side and in the inner side blocking the salt water flowing further into the fresh water. The design of the channel was developed in such a way that an ebb-dominance tendency is present. The exporting of sediment was checked by using a one-dimensional model with a sinusoidal symmetric tide. The gate prototype was also modelled to ensure the structure can resist the different water levels. Regarding the dredged material of the channel, two proposals are evaluated in order to find a beneficial use of the remaining volume. A nourishment and development of salt marshes in Visbuurt (adjacent town of Holwerd) as well as the creation of the silt islands and development of salt marshes in Holwerd are studied. The dredging operation is also described. Finally, additional research and data collection are recommended prior to further action. iv Table of Contents Preface ....................................................................................................................... iii Executive Summary ................................................................................................. iv List of Figures ......................................................................................................... viii List of Tables ............................................................................................................. xi 1.

  • Dikes – Cultural-Historical Backbones of the Wadden Sea Area, an Introduction Meindert Schroor
    Dikes – cultural-historical backbones of the Wadden Sea area, an introduction Meindert Schroor Dikes and embankments in the Wadden Sea area to some extent form the largest, more or less coherent as well as oldest ‘man-made’ landscape in Europe. They protect the extremely fertile accretions of marshlands or marshes, deposited by the North Sea and its coastal Wadden Sea around the German Bight. What makes them even more special is that these marshes form only a very small north-western rim of a great North European Plain, extending from the Netherlands well into Russia. This plain is basically a Pleistocene landscape with a great similarity of podsolic soils formed in cover-sands often slightly undulating. It moreover is a coulisse-landscape of farming lands interspersed with patches of forest and heathlands, as well as tracts of more or less cultivated moors, interrupted occasionally by hilly countryside strewn with lakes. In their appearance as well as in their history the marshes alongside the Wadden Sea however differ completely from this dominant north-central European landscape. Dikes belong to the oldest large-scale technical works. Prior to the 20th century they as a rule were wholly built of clay, whereas nowadays they have a clay cover over a sandy heart, the clay being planted with grass and grazed by sheep, a familiar view of all the dikes in the Wadden Sea area. The Waddenland: Marshlands (green) along the Wadden Sea. 1 It was the innate fertility of the marshes combined with their rather dense and growing population that led to the building of dikes.

  • Frisians in Sioux County; from Heitellin to Homeland
    Frisians in Sioux County; from heitellin to Homeland Annemieke Galema Introduction Thousands of Dutch Frisians migrated to the United States between 1880 and 1914. Especially a specific area in the North of the province known as De Bouwhoek, where farming is particularly determined by agriculture, provided the United States with Frisian inhabitants. The traditional sea clay areas, are the cockpit of Dutch migration to the U.S. in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. From this type of soil in the provinces of Groningen, Zeeland, and Friesland the percentage of emigrants is the highest. Over half (55 percent) of all emigrants in the period 1835-1880 originated from the countryside of these provinces.! The choice of a rural clay area for investigating the migratory process is also dictated by reasons of socio-economic characteristics. In his pioneering quantitative research dealing with Dutch overseas migration, Robert Swierenga concludes that despite some religiously driven emigration, ultimately economic conditions in the countryside were decisive.2 Since unemployment rates usually are higher in regional centers, it is obvious to consider the clay areas as very peripheral and hence likely to produce a high percentage of overseas migrants. To put the Dutch overseas migration in regional perspective, I chose to study the northern Frisian area because the agrarian depression particularly affected this part of the province. The stagnation in the business cycle in Friesland took a more serious tum than in Zeeland or Groningen and it lasted longer. 3 Since individual and local factors in migration usually are influenced by major socioeconomic forces, the agrarian depression seems to be an important circumstance to take into account.

  • Integrated Gas Field Development: the Anjum Story
    Geologie en Mijnbouw / Netherlands Journal of Geosciences 80 (1): 95-102 (2001) Integrated gas field development: The Anjum story F. J. Hollman' 1 NAM Schoonebeek; LAN/5; mail: P.O. box 28000, 9400 HH Assen Manuscript received: 1 Aug 1999; accepted in revised form: 19 May 2000 ^W I Abstract In contrast to oil field development, gas field development requires tight integration of subsurface, surface and economic issues due to the difficulty of storing surplus produced gas and the large effect of the back-pressures in a surface network on the indi­ vidual well performance. As a major gas supplier the Shell Group, and in particular NAM, has extensive experience in this field. The gas production from onshore fields in the North Friesland area is a recent NAM development. A 10 million cubic me­ ter per day LTS gas treatment installation located near the village of Anjum came on stream in 1997. Production initially started from 3 wells in 2 fields to deliver gas to the Gasunie grid at Grijpskerk. The total area comprises 10 fields and 4 re­ maining prospects and is planned to be fully developed by the year 2001, using wet gas pipelines to route the production to ei­ ther the Anjum LTS installation or the Grijpskerk SilicaGel installation. The Rotliegend reservoirs in this part of the Netherlands are very heterogeneous and require a more detailed subsurface simulation than feasible with the standard NAM tool for gas field development (GENREM). In addition, the area is close to the Waddenzee and based on extensive ecological research, NAM uses a stringent, self-imposed ecological constraint, whilst evaluating the development plans for this area.

Clason published the first English-language archaeozoological study on Dutch faunal assemblages. Inspired by the anniversary of this landmark publication, this paper presents a status overview of Dutch archaeozoology organized in twelve themes (e.g. rituals, Mesolithic- Neolithic transition, medieval period). The paper also discusses the common methods applied in Dutch archaeozoology, and includes extensive supplementary material that summarizes data from gray literature in Dutch. Our aim is to provide a guide to archaeozoological questions pertaining to the Netherlands and open a window for researchers working outside the Netherlands to the highly active world of Dutch archaeozoology. Keywords: Zooarchaeology; Archaeozoology; Dutch; the Netherlands; Anneke Clason Introduction produced in the context of development-led archaeology. It has been more than 50 years since the late Prof. Archaeozoologists working in the commercial archaeology Anneke T. Clason published her dissertation, Animal and sector regularly record and publish massive amounts of Man in Holland’s Past (Clason 1967). After that publica- data, in compliance with the regulations put into effect in tion, Clason became the leading archaeozoologist in the 2007, through the Valletta Convention (Lauwerier 2017).

Master Thesis by: Sina Alea Kugis 900713485100 Course: SDC 80436 Wageningen University and Research Centre – Department of Social Sciences Supervised by Dr. Ir. Monique Nuijten Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sciences, International Development Studies at the Chair Group Sociology of Development and Change, Wageningen University and Research Centre in September 2016. Leeuwarden, September 2016 i Master Thesis – Sina Alea Kugis Abstract This thesis is an analysis of the sense of place of the inhabitants of the Friesian village St. Annaparochie. It is aimed to give insights in how people give meaning to place, especially in the presence of a refugee centre. Furthermore, this thesis aimed to illustrate the role of social interactions in the process of giving meaning to place. Particular attention is given to the project “Door de Kloof”, which was a theatrical walk aimed to bring refugees and Dutch inhabitants of St. Annaparochie together. To analyse the case, an ethnographic approach has been used. The results are based on the answers of open-ended, semi-structures interviews, participant observations, mindscapes and a literature study. The expectation was that environmental features will have a strong position when it comes to the attachment towards the village.
