Considering my various backgrounds and my personal interest, I looked for the differences in the current urban groundwater management between Province of Zuid-Holland and Hebei and the ways to improve the exchange of expertise and cooperation. During my research, I used interview, literature study and practical study to get the answers for my research questions. I gave general overviews of the groundwater situation in two provinces and the effects of climate change to take readers into my research. Moreover, I gave the history and the development of the water policies. In the same chapter, the different policies and organizations of water authorities were also given as a foundation of the further research and let both provinces aware the political differences. In addition, the classification of general groundwater problems was given and groundwater problems itself and groundwater management problems were analyzed. Following the problems analysis, the best practices of the two provinces as well as the possibilities to apply their solutions and experience during dealing with the groundwater problems were given. The conclusion of my research is two provinces still got a lot of potentials for the cooperation. But the processing of the cooperation could be faster. - 3 - Acknowledgement This thesis would not have been possible unless Mr. Hans van den Dool offered me the opportunity to do an internship for my final part of study in Van Hall Larenstein. He gave precious comments on my thesis and a lot of support for my internship. I owe my deepest gratitude to Mrs. T. Molegraaf that she offered me this opportunity to do my research in the Water Bureau in the Province of Zuid-Holland. She helped me a lot during my working in the PZH and with the useful research materials as well as the comments on my thesis. She also gave me a rare chance to join the mission in March. It is a pleasure to thank Mr. J.G. Meijles, for his tutorial on my research and valuable comments on Chapter 2, 3, 4 and 5. I am grateful to Mr. Xu Zhenci and Mr. Eric Oosterhof for their valuable comments and discussions throughout the interviews and for their open-minded attitude towards my research done. The Water Bureau in the Province of Zuid-Holland is a very pleasant place to work, with friendly and enthusiastic colleagues. There were always possibilities for vivid discussion and, also important, there was always someone helping me out in case of practical and technical problems.

Introduction As the final part of my study in the Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Science, this thesis offered me the possibility to express my knowledge gained throughout my four years college education. Therefore, I expressed my work and research ability in the Water and Environment Department in Province Zuid-Holland by formulating a thesis problem and providing the recommendations. The central objective of this thesis is to contribute to the cooperation of integrating groundwater management by a better understanding of groundwater problems between Province Zuid-Holland in the Netherlands and Hebei in China. In particular I aim to compare the different elements that influence the groundwater management and different reference levels to define the problems. The aim of the current chapter is to bring you into my research and show the background information about the stage of cooperation project in general (Section 1.1), Problems analysis of the groundwater (Section 1.2) and the Methodology of my research (Section 1.3). Finally, an outline of the thesis as the last section of the introduction will provide a guidance for reading. 1.1 Background of the cooperation Since the friendly cooperation between Zuid-Holland and Hebei started in 1993, the science and technology cooperation had been carried out in many fields. Two province governors signed a three-year memorandum of understanding about cooperation projects in September 2006 and started 3 water cooperation objects. In June 2009, both provinces were hoping to continue the cooperation about water resources development and management and the related scientific and technological cooperation. In the following two months, the memorandum of understanding has been formal signed in 25th October 2009 by the Water Resources Department of Hebei Province and the Water& Environmental Protection Bureau in Zuid-Holland. In March 2010, the water department in Hebei Province visited the Zuid-Holland. During the meeting of future cooperation, the two departments discussed to set up a pilot project on groundwater monitoring and management in Hebei. PZH will use the pilot area as an example (to do the operation, get the sample). The provinces will offer governmental input on permits, policy and management. At the end of 2011, they will organize one big International Conference in Hebei.1 1 Refer to the Reference list in the back. - 7 - 1.2 Problem analysis In many urban areas there are cases in which local aquifers are not able to meet the quantity and quality of water needs of the growing population. In other cases the factors which induce unaware water policy makers to discourage groundwater use are the result of poor management, lack of protection and other interests [Emilio Custodio, 1997].

  • Planning the Horticultural Sector Managing Greenhouse Sprawl in the Netherlands
    Planning the Horticultural Sector Managing Greenhouse Sprawl in the Netherlands Korthals Altes, W.K., Van Rij, E. (2013) Planning the horticultural sector: Managing greenhouse sprawl in the Netherlands, Land Use Policy, 31, 486-497 Abstract Greenhouses are a typical example of peri-urban land-use, a phenomenon that many planning systems find difficult to address as it mixes agricultural identity with urban appearance. Despite its urban appearance, greenhouse development often manages to evade urban containment policies. But a ban on greenhouse development might well result in under-utilisation of the economic value of the sector and its potential for sustainability. Specific knowledge of the urban and rural character of greenhouses is essential for the implementation of planning strategies. This paper analyses Dutch planning policies for greenhouses. It concludes with a discussion of how insights from greenhouse planning can be applied in other contexts involving peri-urban areas. Keywords: greenhouses; horticulture; land-use planning; the Netherlands; peri-urban land-use 1 Introduction The important role played by the urban-rural dichotomy in planning practice is a complicating factor in planning strategies for peri-urban areas, often conceptualised as border areas (the rural-urban fringe) or as an intermediate zone between city and countryside (the rural-urban transition zone) (Simon, 2008). However, “[t]he rural-urban fringe has a special, and not simply a transitional, land-use pattern that distinguishes it from more distant countryside and more urbanised space.” (Gallent and Shaw, 2007, 621) Planning policies tend to overlook this specific peri-environment, focusing rather on the black-and-white difference between urban and rural while disregarding developments in the shadow of cities (Hornis and Van Eck, 2008).

  • Cities and the “Multicultural State”: Immigration, Multi
    CITIES AND THE “MULTICULTURAL STATE”: IMMIGRATION, MULTI- ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THE SOCIO-SPATIAL NEGOTIATION OF POLICY IN THE NETHERLANDS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fullfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Annemarie Bodaar, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Mei-Po Kwan, Advisor Approved by: Dr. Eugene J. McCann Dr. Nancy Ettlinger _____________ Dr. Galey Modan Advisor Graduate Program in Geography Copyright by Annemarie Bodaar 2008 ABSTRACT Immigration is widely acknowledged to be a major social issue in Western European countries. In this context, the Netherlands was one of the few countries to commit itself to the ideal of a ‗multicultural state‘. While this policy ideal was intended to maintain the coherence of the increasingly multi-ethnic state, alleviate growing fear and suspicion of immigrants among sections of Dutch society, and overcome growing ethnic segregation in major cities, its implementation has produced a number of contradictions, however. There has been both a massive political shift in favor of anti- immigrant parties, and increases in segregation in the big cities. In this context the Nethelands has recently reconsidered its multicultural programs. While assimilation is gaining ground as the dominant discourse of immigrant integration in a number of liberal states, the Netherlands has experienced the most profound change away from multiculturalism. Dutch cities therefore could be considered laboratories for the analysis of changes in the way state actors and residents across the world are negotiating immigrant incorporation. This dissertation explores how policies aimed at immigrant integration developed, were implemented and how they were negotiated when implemented in specific multi- ethnic neighborhoods and its effects for neighborhoods, cities and the nation.

  • Building Together As Performative Political Practice
    Response-ability: building together as performative political practice Research document Explorelab 27 April 2019 Catherine Koekoek tutors: Alberto Altés Arlandis (design) Armina Pilav (research) Hubert van der Meel (building technology) Table of contents Introduction 3 1. Research paper 5 2. Five fields of tension 20 3. IJsselmonde walk 27 4. Case study analysis 44 5. Reflection 66 6. References 67 2 Introduction Wayfaring – reading guide In this document, I am concerned with building together. Building together, for me, is about both how we relate to existing space (how we use existing spaces, and how these spaces afford, or obstruct, those uses) and about building new spaces. Both of these, after all, are about responding to the environment you are in, with the tools and materials that are available. And responding to the environment that we are in in a meaningful way is made very difficult in a neoliberal economy, because everything has to have a place and a specific function, start and end date (this I discuss more in the paper). Building together is about changing that, by relating to the spaces we inhabit in another way, in which the distinctions between finished and unfinished, between durable and ephemeral, between representation and experience (what I call performativity), between public and domestic are somehow stretched and played with. The examples that I use in the paper and in the case study analysis are not all strictly “architectural” projects – some could be called art or landscape – but they all respond to the environment in a specific way, and I try to learn from that here.

  • The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster
    The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster Few experiences satisfy the person who savors food and drink more than a journey to the source, the place where a favorite wine, cheese, or fruit is produced. The encounter imparts a knowledge of terrain and an appreciation of techniques used to make the prized food or drink. No book can teach this experience; no number of trips to the local delicatessen or bottle shop can equal it. For the appreciator of cheese, Dutch cheese is one of the gustatory glories of the Netherlands. The place to start is a good cheese store in Amsterdam. Beyond Amsterdam, you can visit the cheese markets at Alkmaar and at Gouda. You can also visit a cheese-making farm, Clara Maria, near Amsterdam. Details can be easily arranged by the Netherlands Board of Tourism office, www.holland.com. Cheese Shops in Amsterdam Cheese shops in Amsterdam, such as Abraham Kef’s, 192 Marninxstraat, are the places to make your first encounter with Dutch cheeses. At Kef’s you can make a tasting ceremony of cheese and wine. First, try a slice of Gouda, which is 60 percent of all the cheese produced in the Netherlands. Half of this Gouda is exported, making the Dutch one of the world’s largest exporters of cheese. Ask for a piece of Young Gouda, about three months old, which is imported to the U.S. labeled Young or Mild Gouda. Most Goudas are whole milk cheeses with a fat content of 48 percent. The Young Gouda has a creamy, buttery taste.

  • Lepidoptera Van Goeree-Overflakkee
    ENTOMOLOGISCHE BERICHTEN, DEEL 25, 1.VIII. 1965 153 Lepidoptera van Goeree-Overflakkee door K. J. HUISMAN Op de 97ste Winterverga¬ dering toonde ik de volgende Lepidoptera : 1. Porphyrinia parva Hüb¬ ner. Het eerste Nederlandse exemplaar, dat hierbij ook af- gebeeld wordt, werd 13 juni 1964 overdag op een zonnige dijkhelling te Melissant ge¬ vangen. Het dier werd opge¬ jaagd en zette zich even ver¬ A. VAN DER SlUIJS der weer neer. Klaarblijkelijk Porphyrinia parva Hb., $, Melissant 1964; X 3V,. waren de omstandigheden voor deze soort gunstig, want later in het jaar was de heer van Aartsen zo gelukkig nog een tweede exem¬ plaar te vangen. De nauw verwante Porphyrinia ostrina Hübner werd, zoals bekend is, in 1958 gevangen (zie J. H. Küchlein, Ent. Ber. 19 : 135, 1959). 2. Catoptria fulgidella Hübner. In 1964 in meerdere exemplaren te Ouddorp gevangen. 3. Heterogr aphis ohlitella Zeiler. De soort blijkt zowel te Melissant als te Oud¬ dorp geregeld voor te komen. 4. Phlyctaenia perlucidalis Hübner. Eén exemplaar te Ouddorp op 12.VI.1964. 5. Agdistis statuts Millière. Eén exemplaar te Melissant op 24.VIII.1960. Summary Five Lepidoptera are mentioned, which were taken on the island of Goeree- Overflakkee (South Holland prov.) in the course of 1964. Porphyrinia parva is new to the Dutch fauna. Melissant, Plein 7. Late Spilosoma lubricipeda L. (Lep., Arctiidae). De laatste datum van de Tienuursvlinder was tot nog toe 14..X. In 1962 zag de heer van Aartsen er één op 16.X, maar een record is ongetwijfeld 22.X.1963. Op die datum zag ik in Amsterdam een mooi gaaf exemplaar tegen een boomstam zitten, een meter of drie van de grond -— Lpk.
