De Tragikomedie Van De Fietsvoetveer Kwestie
VOORWOORD, Beste inwoners van Hulst, Ik weet niet hoe het u vergaat bij het lezen van dit stuk. Maar bij ons ontstond er in toenemende mate bewondering voor de opsteller, Ir. A.F.M. Broekmans. Niet alleen kenmerkt de heer Broekmans zich als een voorvechter voor wat hij recht vindt, maar hij doet dat ook met een volharding die zich alleen maar laat bewonderen. Een echte doorbijter. Iemand die zich niet opzij laat zetten door overheidsinstanties. Maar het belang van de gewone man en vrouw, zonder daar zelf ook maar iets wijzer van te worden, probeert te verdedigen. Eigenlijk in persoon het prototype van wat wij als SP Hulst ook proberen te zijn. Opkomen voor de belangen van hen die door de overheid in de steek zijn gelaten. We vinden het dan ook bijzonder fijn, dat wij als SP Hulst een bijdrage kunnen leveren om dit kritische relaas over het handelen van de overheid rondom het vraagstuk van de veerverbinding tussen Perkpolder en Kruiningen, het relaas van de heer Broekmans, in brochurevorm uit te geven. Opdat u als lezer net zoals wij als SP Hulst gedaan hebben, kennis kunt nemen van het handelen van overheden die de toets van de gegronde kritiek van de heer Broekmans, niet kunnen doorstaan. De SP Hulst zal zich, zij aan zij met de heer Broekmans, blijven inzetten voor de realisering van het fietsvoetveer Perkpolder/Kruiningen, opdat u als inwoner van Hulst er uw voordeel mee kunt doen.

Farming the Edge of the Sea; the Sustainable Development of Dutch Mussel Fishery
Farming the Edge of the Sea The Sustainable Development of Dutch Mussel Fishery1 Rob van Ginkel University of Amsterdam ABSTRACTThroughout the world, there are myriad examples of abuse, ov-qexploitation, or even depletion of living marine resources. Instances of successful fisheries management and sustainable use are rare. One such example is the Dutch mussel fishing and farming indus- try. During well defined periods in spring and autumn, the mussel fishers are allowed to catch young mussels, which they plant on plots rented from the state. This system has been in opera- tion since the 1860s. The present paper explores the history of the mussel industry, points out the ecological, economic and social consequences of privatization of the marine com- mons, describes successive types of management regimes and discusses some of the merits and demerits of privatization. / Introduction I There are numerous examples of "tragedies of the commons" (Hardin 1968) which menace fish stocks and fishing industries in many parts of the world. Ma- rine biologists and economists widely accept that resource abuse is inevitable under a system of common property tenure. They point out that fishers who enjoy unrestricted access to fishing grounds seek to maximize their profits in the short run. Fishing, they argue, is a zero-sum game in which one man's gain is another's loss (cf., e.g., Anderson 1976; Gordon 1954; Pontecorvo 1967; Scott 1955). The pessimistic message of the theorem is that "[rluin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons" (Hardin 1968:1244). -

Estimating Railway Ridership
28-04-2016 Estimating Railway Ridership DEMAND FOR NEW RAILWAY STATIONS IN THE NETHERLANDS TSJIBBE HARTHOLT S1496352 COMMITTEE: K. GEURS (Chairman) University of Twente L. LA PAIX PUELLO University of Twente T. BRANDS Goudappel Coffeng 0 1 I. SUMMARY Demand estimation for new railway stations is an essential step in determining the feasibility of a new proposed railway stations. Multiple demand estimation models already exist. However these are not always accurate or freely available for use. Therefore a new demand estimation model was developed which is able to provide rail ridership estimations. Main question of this thesis that will be answered is: How can the daily number of passengers of a new train station be forecasted on the basis of departure station choice and network accessibility? Aim is to estimate a demand estimation model which is valid for the whole of the Netherlands and focusses on proposed sprinter train stations. Factors determining total rail ridership Rail ridership can be determined by three main factors: Built environment factors Socio-economic factors Network dependent factors Built environment factors are factors that describe the situation in the direct environment of the station. A subdivision can be made into station environment factors based on the three d’s as described by Cervero and Knockel-man (1997): o Density: Describing the amount of activities in the proximity of the station. This could be the e.g. number of jobs, number of students, shops or total population. o Diversity: describing the diversity of the activities that take place in the proximity of the station. o Design: variables describing the properties of a station (area) as a direct consequence of its design. -
Notification Under Nuclear Energy Act
Notification under Nuclear Energy Act Announcement of environmental impact assessment for construction by ERH of a new nuclear power station at Borssele This announcement is being made by the Minister of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment in conjunction with the Minister of Economic Affairs, the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment, the Minister of Transport, Public Works and Water Management and the Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (hereafter collectively called 'the Competent Authority'). On 7 September 2010 a notice was received from Energy Resources Holding B.V. (hereafter called ERH) for an environmental impact assessment in connection with its intention to: Build and operate a new nuclear power station at Borssele The intention concerns a nuclear power station with a maximum capacity of 2500 Mwe. ERH wants to build a nuclear power station in order to: • generate a substantial quantity of electricity without appreciable emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2 and other pollutants, such as NOx, SO2 and particulate matter; • produce energy at low variable costs; • contribute to the security of electricity supplies in the Netherlands and Northern Europe by using reliable technology and fuel diversification. These activities require licences under legislation including Section 15, (a) and (b), Section 29 and Section 34 of the Nuclear Energy Act. Other decisions must be taken under legislation including the Water Act and nature conservation laws. An Environmental Impact Report must be drawn up to facilitate decision-making. Important! The intention announced by ERH is unrelated to the intention of DELTA announced in June 2009 to build a nuclear power station at Borssele. -
Long-Term Neighborhood Effects on Integration of Immigrants: the Case of the 1951 Moluccan Boatlift
Long-term neighborhood effects on integration of immigrants: The case of the 1951 Moluccan boatlift Merve Nezihe Özera* Bas ter Weelb Karen van der Wielc** January 31, 2017 Abstract Integration of immigrants to their host countries has been much studied. However, evidence on how physical characteristics of the neighborhoods they live affect their integration is limited and ambiguous. This paper aims to estimate the impact of the physical neighborhood characteristics on immigrants’ long term education and labor market outcomes. We use administrative data on Moluccan immigrants in the Netherlands to exploit the random variation in their settlements after they had been boatlifted from Indonesia in 1951. Moluccan immigrants were assigned to residential areas called ‘woonoorden’, which differed in terms of their distance to the local native community, educational infrastructure, employment opportunities nearby, and housing structure. We analyze education and labor market outcomes of children born in these settlements after 45 to 60 years. We find that physical characteristics matter for these second generation immigrants but impacts differ between girls and boys. A kilometer increase in the distance to the local community results in 0.7% less likelihood of women having at least an upper secondary school degree. For men, the education level is not affected. Instead, we find that a kilometer increase in the distance to the local community decreases men’s income by 1.2% while having no significant effect on women’s. Our findings are instructive on the potential impacts of the location of refugee camps on further integration of refugees to host countries.

BattelleIMarine Research Laboratory, 439 West Sequim Bay Road, Sequim. Washington 98382, USA National Marine Fisheries Service. Northeast Fisheries Center, Oxford, Maryland 21654, USA ABSTRACT: The protozoan blood-cell parasite Bonamia ostreae of the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis has caused extens~ven~ortahties in France, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Spain, and Denmark. The discovery of the disease in 4 oyster populations in North America is the flrst documenta- tion of the disease outside Europe. Ultrastructure of the parasite, inflammatory lesions in the affected oysters, and transmissibility patterns of the disease demonstrate the identity of the disease in Europe and North America. Current studies and reconstruction of historical records trace the origin of the disease to California (USA) and possibly an Atlantic North American site, followed by its spread within North America and to Europe, where it was first described in detail and recognized as a significant cause of oyster mortalities.
