At some point it has been enough' - Processes of perceived failure of citizens' initiatives
Citizens' initiatives are believed to be a suitable alternative approach to service provision, especially in rural areas where services are under pressure because of depopulation and decentralisation measures of the state. To date, research has mainly focused on best practices and successful examples of these initiatives. However, understanding failure is equally important in order to learn more about the processes citizens' initiatives go throug…
An Initiators' Perspective on the Continuity of Citizens' Initiatives in Rural Areas
Against the backdrop of depopulation and the shift toward Big Society, citizens' initiatives in rural areas are believed to be able to mitigate the decline of service provision in rural regions. Consequently, this mitigation requires the continuity of such initiatives. However, so far, we lack an initiators' perspective on the relevance of this continuity and the factors influencing it. From a theoretical standpoint, continuity of citizens' initi…
Defining 'Success' of Local Citizens' Initiatives in Maintaining Public Services in Rural Areas
In the shift towards the Big Society, it is widely proclaimed that citizen participation and citizens' initiatives are indispensable to maintaining services that used to be run by local or regional governments. Despite the increased interest in citizens' initiatives, research has scarcely debated what actually defines the success of such initiatives. Using focus group discussions, this study examined the meanings and norms collectively constructe…
Understanding the success of rural citizens’ initiatives
Three perspectives on conceptualizing success were found, marking a difference between professionals and founders. • Goal achievement is the most important factor influencing the founders' self-evaluated level of success. • Goal achievement is the most important factor influencing success, but not part of the definition of successful initiatives. • The discrepancy concerning goal achievement may lead to misaligned expectations between founders an…
Modern castles and country houses
This article deals with the question of why the architecture of new gated communities includes references to built heritage. The emergence of ‘gated communities’ in the Netherlands is especially interesting because its diffusion is not primarily driven by distinct urban segregation and the gap between rich and poor. ‘Gated communities’ in the sense of exclusive communities with rigid boundaries are basically seen as ‘un-Dutch’ by the planning com…
Residential Hyperspace
Over the past two decades, Dutch housing policy has become more market-oriented and neoliberal. This sea change is reflected in the architecture of owner-occupied houses, whose production has been increasingly accompanied by theming. Theming has often been criticized as an action to maximize profit through the commercialization of spaces and the resulting hyperreal, and hence fake, architecture. In the Netherlands, building professionals also dev…
Living in commodified history
This paper examines how residents of neotraditional neighbourhoods in the Netherlands socially construct a ‘classed’ place identity and what role the historicised architecture plays within that process. Given that place identity is constructed through social and cultural practices, the paper argues that residents' consumption of historicised environment is bound up with drawing symbolic boundaries that have been explored here by analysing residen…
Factors associated with self-rated health status in university students
The results suggest that SRHS can be reasonably used to compare students' health across countries. SRHS is affected by different physical, psychological and psychosomatic aspects of health; however, its strongest association is with psychosomatic complaints
The contribution of health discussion groups with students to campus health promotion
Based on the idea of implementing health promotion in the university setting, this project is aimed at identifying determinants of health and well-being in the working and living environment of students and at developing targeted health interventions. The approach of health discussion groups is a well-established tool in workplace health promotion to enable participation and empowerment. This concept was innovatively applied and evaluated with th…
