Cultural ecosystem services of informal green spaces
In urban areas, informal green spaces (IGS) can offer complementary green resources next to designed parks and gardens, contributing to green space equality. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to what cultural ecosystem services (CES) IGS provide in socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods. However, how residents of these neighbourhoods perceive IGS and how IGS can serve as an everyday social space is still an under-explored area. Th…
The effect of seeing and being seen on household energy efficiency investment
The visibility of energy efficiency behavior allows the person who observes the behavior (observer) to be influenced by what they see while allowing the person being observed (actor) to signal their status or identity. However, other motives have not been studied in relation to the visibility of energy efficiency behavior, such as following norms. Furthermore, the relationship between the perceptions of observers and actors of energy efficiency b…
Electricity grid and societal vulnerability interconnection
The electricity grid is a pivotal element in the energy transition, serving as the backbone for integrating and distributing renewable energy. However, amid rapid digitalisation and decentralisation of energy systems, its limitations have become increasingly apparent, posing significant challenges for inclusive and equitable stakeholder engagement in the transition. Stakeholders including consumers, prosumers, energy communities, aggregators and …
Paying a Premium Only in Native Neighborhoods
Understanding housing price differentials across nativity, gender, or racial groups is crucial because housing costs influence economic well‐being, wealth accumulation, and long‐term security. While extensively studied in the U.S., similar research is limited in Europe. This study extends U.S. analyses of racial disparities to examine nativity disparities in the Netherlands by investigating intra‐ and inter‐neighborhood price differentials among …
Policy entry points and associated interventions for sustainably transforming urban food systems
Food system transformations are crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and combating the climate crisis. This paper presents the ACTIONABLE Framework. Based on an extensive literature review, we build on the strengths of existing conceptual frameworks and address their identified shortcomings, carefully distinguishing between food system activities, outcomes, and drivers. We then propose an actionable tool for setting policy goal…
Geographies of anti-political establishment parties in the Netherlands
The Dutch provincial elections of 2023 saw an electoral victory of the new challenger party BBB (Farmer-Citizens Movement). This fits in an on-going trend of electoral successes by anti-establishment parties, including victories for the PVV (Party for Freedom) and Forum for Democracy (FVD). This article investigates the geographical electoral patterns of protest voting and underlying discontent. It compares the electoral geographies of Dutch prot…
A global analysis of multifaceted urbanization patterns using Earth Observation data from 1975 to 2015
Urbanization as a global phenomenon is a multifaceted process. Here we do the first global attempt to characterize the complexity of urbanization from 1975 to 2015 in terms of population, built-up structure, and greenness per 5 × 5 km2 grid covering global inhabited areas, using Earth Observation data sources. Our results emphasize the multifaceted nature of urbanization that varies greatly across regions and times, in addition to the steady expa…
Mapping urban–rural differences in the worldwide achievement of sustainable development goals
Land use efficiency (LUE), energy efficiency (EE), and air quality are key indicators when assessing urban-related Sustainable Development Goals, yet recent trends and trade-offs in and around urban areas worldwide remain largely unknown. We use an Earth Observation approach to map the land-energy-air sustainability nexus and highlight distinct urban–rural gradients worldwide (2000–2015). In the Global South, urban areas perform relatively better…
Sustainability in times of disruption
The sustainability transformation of the food system involves imagining a sustainable future whilst functioning within the current unsustainable food system. Some argue there is a difference between the goal-oriented and comfort seeking form in which the near future is engaged, and the reflexive, imaginary way in which the distant future is engaged. This begs the question, how is engagement with near and distant futures balanced, and what does th…
Valuing the effect of land use change on landscape services on the urban–rural fringe
The urban–rural fringe is a dynamic environment where urban expansion limits the provision of landscape services. Economic valuation of these services is proposed to quantify the impact of urbanisation and inform planners of the potential losses that attribute to these land-use changes. However, most evaluation methods remain controversial regarding shortcomings in providing reliable results. This study applies market price, contingent valuation …
The Influence of Urban Park Attributes on User Preferences
Urban green areas, such as parks, are becoming increasingly important in densifying cities. Urban parks encourage physical and social activity, recreation and relaxation, and thus eventually promote people's well-being. The aim of the current study is to examine which urban park attributes influence the preferences of park users, in order to offer recommendations regarding how urban parks of quality can be designed. To elicit the preferences of p…
Covid-19 crisis in the Netherlands
The development and management of the Covid-19 outbreak in the Netherlands is described. The “intelligent lockdown” was aimed at minimizing new infections and limiting the number of deaths, while keeping the economy running as much as possible. Changes in consumer behavior, exit strategy, and lessons learned are considered
Diversity as the key to success? Urban and rural employment dynamics in the Netherlands
This study addresses how diversity in the local sector structure is associated with employment development across different municipality types (urban, intermediate and rural). While this relationship has been studied primarily from an urban perspective, increasing economic diversity has gained traction as a policy tool, particularly in rural areas. Given the diverse roles of municipalities in the urban hierarchy, the analysis explicitly identifie…
Evaluating the Performance of Iterative Proportional Fitting for Spatial Microsimulation
Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF), also known as biproportional fitting, 'raking' or the RAS algorithm, is an established procedure used in a variety of applications across the social sciences. Primary amongst these for urban modelling has been its use in static spatial microsimulation to generate small area microdata – individual level data allocated to administrative zones. The technique is mature, widely used and relatively straight-forward…
Tourist Loyalty and Urban E-Services
E-services are increasingly important communication tools for tourism providers but not all tourists prefer the same type of services. This work compares the preferences for e-services according to the characteristics of tourists and the implications on their expenditures during travel to the cities of Amsterdam and Leipzig. In addition, the determinants of satisfaction and loyalty according to the characteristics and motivations of the visitors …
Determinants of off-farm income and its local patterns
A multi-actor multi-criteria scenario analysis of regional sustainable resource policy
Growth and innovation of competitive regions
The effects of future retail developments on the local economy
Spatial Consumer Behaviour in Small and Medium-sized Towns
Van Leeuwen E. S. and Rietveld P. Spatial consumer behaviour in small and medium-sized towns, Regional Studies. Small and medium-sized towns are often recognized as important components of the rural economy. This paper focuses on the current function of small and medium-sized towns in providing retail services to local households in five European countries. Furthermore, it analyses the spatial shopping behaviour of these households. It appears th…
