Ažman Momirski, Lucija (author), van Mil, Yvonne (author), Hein, C.M. (author)Ports are clearly demarcated structures on land and water. They are fenced in, easily recognizable on satellite and orthophoto images, and they have specific functions. This apparent clarity of ports, their function and outline, in relation to nearby urban and rural areas, becomes more complex when explored through the lens of land use, that is...journal article 2021

Veldboer, L. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)Modern welfare policies are increasingly based on notions of reciprocity. Citizens on welfare benefits have to do something in return, e.g. volunteer work. Notwithstanding general public support, social philosophers have been critical on ‘mandatory’ activities in community programmes. So far, the participants themselves have scarcely been asked...journal article 2015
