Cartographic Styles and Discourse MAGIS Brugge: Visualizing Marcus Gerards’ 16th-century Map through its 21st-century Digitization Elien Vernackt * MAGIS Brugge Project Abstract Marcus Gerards delivered his town plan of Bruges in 1562 and managed to capture the imagination of viewers ever since. The 21st-century digitization project MAGIS Brugge, supported by the Flemish government, has helped to treat this map as a primary source worthy of examination itself, rather than as a decorative illustration for local history. A historical database was built on top of it, with the analytic method called ‘Digital Thematic Deconstruction.’ This enabled scholars to study formally overlooked details, like how it was that Gerards was able to balance the requirements of his patrons against his own needs as an artist and humanist Abstract Marcus Gerards slaagde erin om tot de verbeelding te blijven spreken sinds hij zijn plan van Brugge afwerkte in 1562.

Charlier Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) Belgium www.cerf-jcr.org Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Boca Raton, FL, U.S.A. ABSTRACT CHARLIER, R.H. 2011. The Zwin: From Golden Inlet to Nature Reserve. Journal of Coastal Research, 27(4), 746–756. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Artists of the XVII Provinces contributed considerably to cartography. For instance, Peter Pourbus, a Bruges painter, is the author of maps of Zeeland and of the Zwin Region, an area that Emperor Charles V (1500–1577) was anxious to protect against a seaborne enemy invasion. The coastal areas of Flanders and Zeeland were repeatedly covered, in prehistoric, protohistoric, and historic times, by the North Sea waters. The storm of the 13th century broke through continental barriers, opening a channel whose draught allowed ships to sail up to such towns as Sluis, Damme, and Hoek, sites that became, for several centuries, outer harbors of Bruges. The trade thus generated is at the origin of Bruges’s wealth, leading to the Zwin inlet being nicknamed the ‘‘Golden Inlet.’’ Sadly, silting set in and occlusion of the inlet progressed inexorably.

  • Bike & Barge 2020
    BIKE & BARGE 2020 - ACROSS FLANDERS BRUGES - BRUSSELS or V.V. COMFORT BARGE: MS MECKLENBURG 8 DAYS/7 NIGHTS – Guided or Self Guided Cycling The Bruges to Brussels bike and barge tour is an absolute classic that takes you through an enchanting river landscape bookended by these two iconic Belgian cities. On this tour you get to explore the most beautiful of Belgium cities- Brussels, Mechelen, Ghent and Bruges. Along the way you will cycle through small traditional Belgian villages, will visit a number of famous local landmarks and will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in Belgium’s well-deserved reputation for superb food and drink. You spend a night in Bruges -a fairytale medieval town of cobbled streets, soaring towers, picturesque squares and whitewashed alms houses. Asking citizens of Ghent what they think of their city is a pointless exercise; you’ll find only unanimous love- and with good reason. Ghent is intimate yet vibrant. It has enough medieval frivolity to create a spectacle but retains a gritty industrial edge that keeps things ‘real’. Tourists remain surprisingly thin on the ground, yet with its fabulous canal side architecture, wealth of quirky bars and some of Belgium’s most fascinating museums, this is a city you really won’t want to miss. Antwerp, the city of Rubens, whose paintings you can admire in the Antwerp cathedral. Belgium's fascinating capital, Brussels – the administrative capital of the EU, Brussels is historic yet hip, bureaucratic yet bizarre, self-confident yet unshowy, and multicultural to its roots. Each day you will cycle old tow paths next to small canals and rivers and via quiet country lanes to ancient villages steeped in history.

  • Flanders 2021 Rides
    The ultimate UCI World Championships experience: ride the roads yourself! The 2021 UCI Road World Championships are bringing all the big names in cycling to Flanders. But the UCI World Championships is more than just watching the top riders of today and tomorrow. Everyone who wants to will also get the unique opportunity to ride parts of the UCI World Championships course by bike themselves, no matter what type of cyclist you are. What better way to immerse yourself in the UCI World Championships atmosphere than to ride the course yourself! In the UCI World Championships week (from 18 to 26 September), no less than four stages are planned where everyone can feel like a world champion. From now on registrations are open! EXPLORE THE TIME TRIAL COURSE BETWEEN KNOKKE-HEIST AND BRUGGE On Saturday 18 September, the day before the elite men ride their time trial, you can explore that time trial course yourself during the Flanders 2021 Ride Knokke-Heist - Brugge. From the start at the coast of Knokke-Heist until Westkapelle the course is completely traffic-free. Thereafter you'll cycle to Bruges via Damme, along the Damse Vaart and the Leopoldvaart to 't Zand in Bruges where you ride over the (also traffic-free) official finish and that’s where you return to Knokke-Heist. Or you can turn it around and start from Bruges for the exact same 65 km route or opt for the shorter loop from Bruges or Knokke-Heist (30 or 37km respectively). The world championship village of Damme serves as a place of supply or rest for each tour.

  • Home Advantage in European International Soccer: Which Dimension of Distance Matters?
    Vol. 13, 2019-50 | December 09, 2019 | http://dx.doi.org/10.5018/economics-ejournal.ja.2019-50 Home advantage in European international soccer: which dimension of distance matters? Nils Van Damme and Stijn Baert Abstract The authors investigate whether the home advantage in soccer differs by various dimensions of distance between the (regions of the) home and away teams: geographical distance, climatic differences, cultural distance, and disparities in economic prosperity. To this end, the authors analyse 2,012 recent matches played in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League by means of several regression models. They find that when the home team plays at a higher altitude, they benefit substantially more from their home advantage. Every 100 meters of altitude difference is associated with an increase in expected probability to win the match, as the home team, by 1.1 percentage points. The other dimensions of distance are not significantly associated with a higher or lower home advantage. By contrast, the authors find that the home advantage in soccer is more outspoken when the number of spectators is higher and when the home team is substantially stronger than the away team.
