    Final Programme

    PROGRAMME Main sponsors Activity and session sponsors Tinbergen Institute Verkeer en Vervoer (VEV) / Traffic and Transport Welcome On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee it is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to Amsterdam for the 45 th Congress of the European Regional Science Association. The congress is hosted by the Department of Spatial Economics of the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. The theme of the Congress is “Land Use and Water Management in a Sustainable Network Society”. This theme has great relevance for the Netherlands with its high population density and its large area below sea level, but also for other countries in the world. The challenge to achieve sustainability in a global network context calls for innovations in how to deal with our scarce resources, land and water being important elements. Amsterdam is an appropriate location for a congress with this theme. It is well known as an inspiring meeting place, and has a long history of struggle against the water, very early physical planning experiences in the canal area during its golden age in the 17 th century, and holds a unique position as the cultural centre of The Netherlands. We expect that the technical excursions organised this year will provide interesting opportunities to experience this yourself. It is with pleasure that the Department of Spatial Economics accepted the request to organise the 2005 ERSA congress. Our group has been active in ERSA for a very long time, including the activities of Peter Nijkamp as ERSA chairman in the 1990’s and the organisation of an intensive RSA Summer Institute in the 1980’s.

Although there is some anecdotal evidence on the ‘end of geography’ effect of the Internet, the relationship between physical space and the Internet has not been yet scrutinized. In addition, owing to the network nature of the Internet, the structure of the Internet infrastructure (the cyber-place) cannot be approached in a unidimensional way.

  • Economics 'Spatial Economists Use Geo-ICT Intensely'

    Economics 'Spatial Economists Use Geo-ICT Intensely'

    Geo-ICT and the role of location in Science, part 5: Economics ‘Spatial economists use Geo-ICT intensely’ The use of Geo-ICT in economics has in recent decades experienced a gradual but steady increase. “That is to say, in specific strands of our discipline”, says Piet Rietveld, Professor in Transport Economics at the Vrije Universiteit (VU), Amsterdam. Peter Nijkamp, Professor in Regional Economics at the same university and director of the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO) illustrates this with some statistics: “Out of all the journal articles and conference papers in Regional Economics and Economic Geography that were published in 2006, probably around 50% could have been written fifteen years ago. However, the other 50% would not have been possible without a large quantity of spatial information and the use of GIS-tools to integrate, analyse and visualise these data. In his closing statement at the first GIS Summer Institute (Amsterdam, 1988), Peter Nijkamp predicted that in 10 years time no one would speak of “GIS” any longer. By that time, he argued then, GIS would have lost its status as a novelty and become, like so many other IT-products, a mere ‘commodity’. Nevertheless, two years later Nijkamp and Rietveld established a first Senior Lectureship in GIS, a position that is still held by Henk Scholten. After a promising start, a period in which regional economists published their first articles and books on GIS, the VU invested substantially in the man-power needed to further establish GIS-research and teaching in the department. Initially these research initiatives were mostly explorative in nature, driven by a curiosity for the new tool.

    The Road to Ruin Dutch Universities, Past, Present and Future the Road To

    The road to excellent ruin Dutch universities are striving towards excellence while their administrators dream of top-ranking on international listings. Dutch scholars and scientists, on the other hand, foresee that the growing bureaucracy, commercialization and excessive workloads are leading to an abyss. Are we to believe that today’s universities in Holland are comparable to a cookie factory? Are students like shipping containers that should be processed as quickly as possible, as university presidents The road to ruin have declared? In this book Rudolf Dekker links the incidental problems about cheating academics and incompetent administrators, as signaled in the press, with more fundamental processes that have taken place over the last fi fty years, including changes in the way universities Dutch universities, are structured, managed and fi nanced, the infl uence of neo-liberal ideas, the effects of digitization, and the development of a new administrative elite in the Netherlands. past, present and Rudolf Dekker is a historian.
