Plan in progress: a critique of the selective coproduction of the Spatial Policy Plan for Flanders (Belgium) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
abstract
In recent years, so-called coproductive, radical strategic planning has become a synonym for integrative and holistic public sector-led planning processes and the alleged integrating qualities of representative democracies. However, these views remain framed by the specific discourses, perspectives and path dependencies of governments, obstructing opportunities for radical reorientations as intended above. In this paper, we ...

Reconstruction of Flanders' coastline since the 16th century using georeferencing technology Ghent University
Historical cartographic studies addressing the reconstruction of the North Sea coastline are mostly based on a qualitative techniques. The current paper presents a methodology that leads to a better understanding of the planimetric position of the Flemish coastline since the 16th century and provides a GIS - analysis of the occurred coastline dynamics. The reconstruction is based upon the georeferencing of 11 maps from the 16th century onward ...
Retained for life : a longitudinal multilevel study on the post-secondary educational trajectories of retainees in Flanders Ghent University
Students with a high self-efficacy, which results from mastery experiences, are more likely to set challenging goals. Grade retention is a clear marker of academic underperformance, and thus, it can be expected that students who were retained in secondary education will be less likely to enroll in higher education. It is also expected that being retained affects the institutional choice (university vs. college of applied sciences), as students ...
Intermediate institutions in the county of Flanders in the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Era Ghent University
This volume contains the proceedings of a conference held at University of Ghent in November 2010, during which nine scholars presented their recent (mostly doctoral) research on the composition, the competences and the functioning of the intermediate institutions in the County of Flanders, i.e. institutions situated between the local (towns, villages and seigniories) and the supra-regional or central level of the Burgundian-Habsburg composite ...
A roadmap for upscaling carbon farming in Flanders (Belgium). Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This roadmap is an end product of the LIFE CarbonCounts project, in which ILVO together with the Department of Agriculture &
Fisheries has been setting the tone for scaling up effective and viable carbon farming in Flanders since September 2021. Within this
trajectory, the starting point was a broad study of what is already known about carbon farming in Flanders, and also who is already
working on it. Information from ...

Reducing soil sealing in Flanders by mapping and assessing opportunities Departement of spatial development, environment, energy, climate, green economy, animal welfare
Flanders is one of the most paved regions in Europe and soil sealing is still increasing every day. Hence, the associated negative effects for open space functions are an important challenge. First, we must prevent additional soil sealing. In addition, it is important to restore the cohesion and quality of the open space by actively reducing soil sealing. In order to reduce soil sealing efficiently and effectively, we need to gain insight into ...
Impact assessment of alien macroinvertebrates in Flanders (Belgium) Ghent University
Besides habitat fragmentation, the introduction of invasive species is considered to be one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. Due to increased global trade, habitat degradation and climate change the number of species introductions has increased spectacularly during the last decades. This has led to changes in structure and functioning of ecosystems worldwide. In this study, the impact and spread of alien macroinvertebrates in ...
