  • The Aftermath of the Closure of the Dutch Coal Mines in South Limburg: Regional Economic and Social Reconstruction
    THE AFTERMATH OF THE CLOSURE OF THE DUTCH COAL MINES IN SOUTH LIMBURG: REGIONAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION Hans Kasper, Maastricht University and Etil BV This case study focuses on 35 years of economic redevelopment, reconversion or restructuring after the closure of the Dutch coal mines in the South Limburg mining district. It explicates what strategic decisions and measures were taken to solve the economic and social problems that occurred in this Dutch area after the closure of the coal mines, a process that was announced on December 17, 1965, by the Dutch government. Based on real-life experiences, this case study discusses the role and relevance of strategic planning, project management, human resource management, labor market policy, social policy, public policy and regional policy in restructuring the economic structure of an area in which a dominant player ended its activities in a rather short period. The case tackles not only the economic impact but also the social impact of the coal mine closures. The case is intended to be used as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation.

  • Lessons Learned in the Parkstad Limburg Region (NL)
    Lessons learned in the Parkstad Limburg Region (NL) Introduction Neimed is a Centre of Expertise in Demographic Changes and a joint initiative of Zuyd University of Applied Sciences and the Open University in the Netherlands. Neimed is financially supported by the Parkstad Limburg Region and the Dutch Province of Limburg. Neimed collects expertise and experiences of the various shrinking regions in the Netherlands and beyond, with a special emphasis on the City Region Parkstad Limburg. It is our mission to directly tackle the issues related to demographic change: significant population decline, ageing population, decline in the work-age population and economic challenges. At the same time, it is essential to support the quality of life of citizens and communities in shrinking areas and to identify constructive scenarios derived from the mentioned demographic processes. The aim is to develop knowledge and ideas about the quality of life in societies affected by population decline. New intervention scenarios incorporate not only public authorities, but also the multiplicity of stakeholders involved in such a complex issue: civil society agencies, local business people, housing corporations, educational institutions, care and welfare providers, cultural institutions, etc. Neimed has four core objectives: • Research-based knowledge development • Collection of information (database) • Network development • Production of innovative ideas and scenarios Neimed collects and disseminates existing knowledge and information. In addition, Neimed produces new knowledge, new scenarios and new interventions to develop the quality of life in shrinking regions. Furthermore, Neimed strongly promotes the social debate between various stakeholders about the quality of core institutions in areas affected by demographic changes.
