Using salt marshes for coastal protection: Effective but hard to get where needed most

Marin-Diaz, Beatriz (author), van der Wal, Daphne (author), Kaptein, Leon (author), Martinez-Garcia, Pol (author), Lashley, Christopher H. (author), de Jong, Kornelis (author), Nieuwenhuis, Jan Willem (author), Govers, Laura L. (author), Olff, Han (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author)

Salt marshes fronting coastal structures, such as seawalls and dikes, may offer important ecosystem-based coastal defence by reducing the wave loading and run-up levels during storms. We question (i) how the long-term salt marsh development in the Dutch Wadden Sea relates to the tidal-flat foreshore bathymetry and (ii) how the wave run-up...

Exposure to neighborhood violence and child-parent conflict among a longitudinal sample of Dutch adolescents

Nieuwenhuis, Jaap (author), Best, Matt (author), Vogel, Matt (author), van Ham, M. (author), Branje, Susan (author), Meeus, Wim (author)

An extensive body of research has documented the deleterious effects of community violence on adolescent development and behavior. Much of this research focuses on how exposure to violence structures social interaction, and, ultimately, how it motivates youth to engage in troublesome behavior. This study builds upon this body of research to...

The role of integration for future urban water systems: Identifying Dutch urban water practitioners' perspectives using Q methodology

Nieuwenhuis, E.M. (author), Cuppen, Eefje (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)

Urban water systems are under increased pressure from ongoing developments like climate change, population growth and urbanization. While it is clear that current urban water challenges need a more integrated approach, practitioners disagree on what such an integrated approach means exactly. Integration could therefore be described as a...

Root causes of failures in sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS): an exploratory study in 11 municipalities in the Netherlands

Vollaers, Vita (author), Nieuwenhuis, E.M. (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)

Despite being widely implemented, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) do not always function flawlessly. While SUDS have been tested extensively and seem to perform well on a laboratory or pilot scale, practitioners’ experience is different: failures in SUDS occur regularly in practice, resulting in malfunctioning systems, water...

The Role of Exposure to Neighborhood and School Poverty in Understanding Educational Attainment

Nieuwenhuis, Jaap (author), Kleinepier, Tom (author), van Ham, M. (author)

Because the demographic composition of neighborhoods and schools overlaps, their effects on educational attainment are not independent of each other. Throughout the early teenage years, the timing and duration of exposure to neighborhood and school contexts can vary, advocating for a longitudinal approach when studying schooling outcomes....

Does segregation reduce socio-spatial mobility?: Evidence from four European countries with different inequality and segregation contexts

Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author), Tammaru, T. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Hedman, L.K. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)

The neighbourhood in which people live reflects their social class and preferences, so studying socio-spatial mobility between neighbourhood types gives insight into the openness of spatial class structures of societies and into the ability of people to leave disadvantaged neighbourhoods. In this paper we study the extent to which people move...

De toekomst van het stedelijk watersysteem: Opereren in een stad vol transities

Nieuwenhuis, E.M. (author), Cuppen, E.H.W.J. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), de Bruijn, J.A. (author)

Gedreven door ontwikkelingen zoals klimaatverandering, verstedelijking en digitalisering zien we in het stedelijk watersysteem steeds vaker oplossingen ‘buiten de buis’. Oplossingen zoals publieke pleinen met een waterbergende functie, polderdaken met een dynamische waterberging, zwembaden verwarmd met warmte uit (afval)water; het zijn allemaal...

A Micro-Scale Approach to Ethnic Minority Concentration in the Residential Environment and Voting for the Radical Right in The Netherlands

Janssen, H.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Kleinepier, T. (author), Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author)

Existing empirical research on the link between ethnic minority concentration in residential environments and voting for the radical right is inconclusive, mainly due to major differences between studies in the spatial scale at which minority concentration is measured. We examined whether the presence of non-western ethnic minorities in the...

Statistical modelling of Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) deposits in wastewater pump sumps

Nieuwenhuis, E.M. (author), Post, J.A.B. (author), Duinmeijer, S.P.A. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)

The accumulation of FOG (Fat, Oil and Grease) deposits in sewer pumping stations results in an increase in maintenance costs, malfunctioning of pumps and, a potential increase of wastewater spills in receiving open water bodies. It is thought that a variety of parameters (e.g. geometry of the pump sump, pump operation, socioeconomic...

Ethnic differences in timing and duration of exposure to neighborhood disadvantage during childhood

Kleinepier, T. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author)

This paper examines ethnic differences in childhood neighborhood disadvantage among children living in the Netherlands. In contrast to more conventional approaches for assessing children’s exposure to neighborhood poverty (e.g., point-in-time and cumulative measures of exposure), we apply sequence analysis to simultaneously capture the timing...

Being Poorer Than the Rest of the Neighborhood: Relative Deprivation and Problem Behavior of Youth

Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Yu, Rongqin (author), Branje, Susan (author), Meeus, Wim (author), Hooimeijer, Pieter (author)

According to the neighborhood effects hypothesis, there is a negative relation between neighborhood wealth and youth’s problem behavior. It is often assumed that there are more problems in deprived neighborhoods, but there are also reports of higher rates of behavioral problems in more affluent neighborhoods. Much of this literature does not...

Neighbourhood Poverty, Work Commitment and Unemployment in Early Adulthood: A Longitudinal Study into the Moderating Effect of Personality

Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author), Yu, Rongqin (author), Branje, S (author), Meeus, W (author), Hooimeijer, P. (author)

We studied how personality moderates the effect of neighbourhood disadvantage on work commitment and unemployment in early adulthood. Using a personality typology of resilients, overcontrollers, and undercontrollers, we hypothesised that the association between neighbourhood poverty and both work commitment and unemployment would be stronger for...

Publication bias in the neighbourhood effects literature

Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author)

There is a strong belief amongst policy makers regarding the existence of neighbourhood effects, i.e., that above and beyond other influence, the neighbourhood in which they live influences individuals’ life chances. The evidence from scientific reviews leans towards the idea that it is likely that neighbourhoods indeed affect life chances of...

Neighbourhood immigrant concentration effects on migrant and native youth’s educational commitments, an enquiry into personality differences

Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author), Hooimeijer, P. (author), Van Ham, M. (author), Meeus, W. (author)

In the literature examining neighbourhood effects on educational outcomes, the socialisation mechanism is usually investigated by looking at the association between neighbourhood characteristics and educational attainment. The step in between, that adolescents actually internalise educational norms held by residents, is often assumed. We attempt...
