Tan, Chia Wu (author)In recent years, there has been an emergence of the concept of “circular economy (CE)”, which promises to close the loop in terms of resource extraction consumption in the prevailing economic paradigm. This promises environmental and socioeconomic benefits, but the risk exists where the benefits of the circular transition might be unevenly...master thesis 2022

Emeis, Ruben (author)As part of the Dutch sustainable landfill project iDS, two compartments of the Dutch landfill Wieringermeer have been treated by in-situ aeration since 2017. The chosen method of aeration is over-extraction, where suction pressure is created causing ambient air to intrude into the landfill. Aeration induces enhanced settlement due to the...master thesis 2022

Brimaire, Jil (author)The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management is committed to enhancing the accessibility and sustainability of the Dutch mobility system. Working from home (WFH) has been discussed as a policy lever to decrease commute travel and, thereby, congestion for decades. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this discussion regained momentum. WFH...master thesis 2022

van der Meer, Wim (author)This integrative literature research analyses economic inequality using a system perspective. Topics related to the quantification, causes, and effects revolving around economic inequality are reviewed and presented in an overarching conceptual framework. The functioning of the conceptual framework is tested by performing an application on the...master thesis 2022

Smit, Michiel (author)Coastal and offshore infrastructure must be designed to withstand extreme wave-induced loading conditions. Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) is often employed to infer probabilistic distributions that provide information about extreme design conditions. In traditional practices, EVA is performed under the assumption of stationarity. This means that...master thesis 2022

Prusti, Maarit (author)The building permit process in the Netherlands is mostly digitalized, however, there are still some issues. A downsize of information, the manual checking from the municipality, and the duration of the process are some of these issues. To overcome these issues information between 3D building design models, so-called Building Information Modeling...master thesis 2022

Wilkesmann, Florian (author)Around the world, authorities try to increase the attractiveness of multimodal public transport (PT)-related trips to reduce car usage. To achieve this, a seamless combination between the different modes is necessary. The Dutch train station operator NS tries to enhance the combination of the bike and train by providing a train station-based...master thesis 2022

Sarma, Tanishka (author)The migration of different ethnic groups into an urban ecosystem over generations can lend to diversity and religious plurality. As people migrate from their homeland, they bring with them their culture and mould their surroundings into something that emulates ‘home’. These migrant populations try to fit into their new environment, and the host...student report 2022

Supinajaroen, W. (author), van Loenen, B. (author), Korthals Altes, W.K. (author)Developments toward Open Government Data (OGD) also affect the data from National Continuously Operating Reference Station (NCORS), an infrastructure supporting standard and precise positioning in spatial activities. The application of OD policies on NCORS data (OD-NCORS) varies per country. This paper explores the approaches and impact of OD...journal article 2022

(author), Roest, J.C. (author)We present an overview of induced seismicity due to subsurface engineering in the Netherlands. Our overview includes events induced by gas extraction, underground gas storage, geothermal heat extraction, salt solution mining and post-mining water ingress. Compared to natural seismicity, induced events are usually small (magnitudes ≤ 4.0)....journal article 2022

van der Plank, Pernille (author), Ploeger, H.D. (author)In de afgelopen jaren is veel onderzoek verricht naar de mogelijkheid van het realiseren van drijvende platformen waarop meerdere gebouwen (zelfs hoogbouw) gerealiseerd kunnen worden. Toch komen deze projecten in ons land niet verder dan de tekentafel. Het succes van een bouwproject hangt niet alleen af van de bouwkundige kwaliteit; de...journal article 2022

Avramidi, Eleni (author), García Gómez, Sergio Carlos (author), Papaspyrou, Sokratis (author), Louca, Vasilis (author), Xevgenos, Dimitris (author), Küpper, Frithjof C. (author)The Port of Rotterdam is a heavily man-modified estuarine system, Europe's major seaport and home to a large number of chemical and petrochemical plants, many of which are supplied with distilled water from two demineralized water plants in Botlek and Maasvlakte. In this study, we assessed the ecological conditions near the brine outfalls and...journal article 2022

Ziere, Koen (author)In order to find the possibilities of implementation of e-flows in Dutch water management, it is necessary to first explore the current role of e-flows in projects, plans and policies. Data collection is primarily done through interviews. In addition to this, analysis of policy documents is used as a method of data collection. The collected...master thesis 2021

Hoek, Dennis (author)In the Netherlands, it is envisaged that hydrogen will play a crucial role in the energy transition. Especially in this heavy industry, hydrogen will become essential to make this sector sustainable. In general, three types of hydrogen are used: grey, blue, and green hydrogen. This study focuses on green hydrogen, as it is produced without CO2...master thesis 2021

Harale, Kunal (author)The European construction sector is responsible for the consumption of almost 32% of total raw material for realizing its projects (Benachio, Freitas, & Tavares , 2020). On a national level, this amount results to almost 50% for the Dutch construction industry (Nellssen, et al., 2018). The ever-growing population stresses the need for...master thesis 2021

van der Velde, Lisanne (author)Public services are an essential part of urban development projects. Usually, municipalities aim to recover the costs of these services from developers that initiate projects that benefit from these services. Many countries have implemented various value capturing instruments to be able to achieve this. However, only fragmented data is available...master thesis 2021
