Biljecki, F. (author), Arroyo Ohori, G.A.K. (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Peters, R.Y. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)The remote estimation of a region’s population has for decades been a key application of geographic information science in demography. Most studies have used 2D data (maps, satellite imagery) to estimate population avoiding field surveys and questionnaires. As the availability of semantic 3D city models is constantly increasing, we investigate...journal article 2016

Dam, G. (author), van der Wegen, M. (author), Labeur, R.J. (author), Roelvink, D. (author)We hindcast a 110 year period (1860-1970) of morphodynamic behavior of the Western Scheldt estuary by means of a 2-D, high-resolution, process-based model and compare results to a historically unique bathymetric data set. Initially, the model skill decreases for a few decades. Against common perception, the model skill increases after that to...journal article 2016

Kleinepier, T. (author), van de Valk, H.A.G. (author)Background: Despite extensive research on the family behavior of young adults, family dynamics of children of migrants remain largely unexplored. This is unfortunate as family transitions are strongly interlinked with transitions in other domains (e.g., education, work) and predictive for outcomes later in life.<br/><br/>Objective: We provide a...journal article 2016

Korthals Altes, W.K. (author)Land-use plans serve a dual function. On the one hand, they are programmes for future development, plans for action. On the other hand, they have a regulative function in relation to construction and land use. This paper investigates how the interplay between these functions is playing a role in the current debate about the new integrated...journal article 2016

Muhaimin, T.A. (author), Nikolaos, M. (author)In context of rising demand for energy amidst limited resources, energy efficiency is one of the major concerns of a modernized world. Gas consumption in the built environment constitutes for more than 30% of the overall energy consumption in the world. Hence, energy transitions and their preferences in the built environment demand urgent...conference paper 2014

Housing and positive European integration: Permissible state aid for improving the urban environmentKorthals Altes, W.K. (author)Housing is not one of the European Union (EU’s) formal competences, but European integration does affect member states’ housing policies to a significant extent. Without the establishment of EU-level competence, housing cannot become a field of positive integration and the Europeanisation of housing policies will continue to occur through...journal article 2014

Ligtvoet, A. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Fens, T.W. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author), van Beers, Cees (author), Herder, P.M. (author)The interconnected nature of the different components of smart grids is a prime example of complexity in technological systems. Developing such systems is highly dependent on the wishes and needs of end-users and other stakeholders. We argue that stakeholder values should be taken into consideration during the design and standardisation of...conference paper 2014

Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author)The Dutch model of social rental housing is often seen as a good practice for other European coun-tries. This is due to the fact that the Dutch social rental sector has a large size, offers dwellings of a relatively good quality and functions without receiving substantial subsidies. However, current poli-cies, both at the European and the...conference paper 2013

De Groen, A. (author), Pruyt, E. (author), Boumeester, H.J.F.M. (author)Social rental housing ought to function as safety net for the lower income groups in the housing system. However, the Dutch housing system has a relatively large social housing stock in relation to other housing systems in Europe – larger than would be required for a safety net for lower income groups. Hence, households which are financially...conference paper 2012

Schuetze, T. (author)The existing water management in Dutch polders is based on independent water systems for each polder. These are featuring artificial stabilized ground and surface water levels. As a result of the local climate the water levels in the polders are not continuously at a constant level. To maintain a stable water table in the polders, the surplus of...journal article 2011
