Social Inclusion and Exclusion of Urban In-Migrants in Northwestern European Port Cities. Antwerp, Rotterdam & Stockholm ca. 1850-1930. KU Leuven
In this PhD thesis, the social inclusion and exclusion of internal and international migrants are investigated in three Northwestern European port cities in the period 1850-1930 using quantitative research methods. The data are retrieved from three large databases: The Antwerp COR*-database, the Historical Sample of the Netherlands and the Stockholm Historical Database. All three databases contain longitudinal data on the micro-level and are ...
The Role of Seaports in Green Supply Chain Management: Initiatives, Attitudes, and Perspectives in Rotterdam, Antwerp, North Sea Port, and Zeebrugge Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
Green supply chain management (GSCM) can be defined as the integration of environmental concerns into the inter-organizational practices of supply chain management (SCM). This paper analyzes the role of seaports in the greening of supply chains in two ways. First, the fields of action to pursue GSCM objectives in ports are identified and grouped. The proposed typology includes five groups of actions, i.e., green shipping; green port development ...
**Olifantiella elisabethiana**, a new raphid diatom species (Bacillariophyta) observed in the Port of Antwerp (Belgium) Universiteit Antwerpen
During an extensive analysis of the diatom flora of the Port of Antwerp (Belgium) in 2008, an unknown naviculoid taxon was observed. Detailed morphological investigations using light, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy resulted in the description of this unknown taxon as Olifantiella elisabethiana Van de Vijver sp. nov. This new small-celled, biraphid species is characterized in having a typical internal process named ...
Stakeholder management and path dependence in large-scale transport infrastructure development: the port of Antwerp case (1960–2010) Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
Abstract
The present paper argues that the effective implementation of new, large-scale seaport infrastructure projects provides a stimulus to policy makers to engage on a path of continuous reflection on who and what matters in decision-making: the continuous updating of one's understanding of spatial differentiation of stakeholder views is critical in this respect, and involves the real inclusion of spatially proximate and spatially ...

The Ten-year Plan for the port of Antwerp (1956-1965). A linear city along the river KU Leuven
The Ten-Year Plan for the port of Antwerp (1956-1965) funded the expansion of the port's infrastructure over a 10-year period. Strictly, a national government-funded infrastructure programme for the construction of a set of canal docks, the programme laid the basis for a broader urbanization of the north-eastern Antwerp metropolitan region. The importance of the operation lies primarily in its role as an instrument of urbanization rather than in ...
A real-time collaborative system for container trucks In the port of antwerp : a large scale simulation Universiteit Gent
In this work, a primary proof of concept of a real-time shared planning system (SPS) for container trucks in a port setting is presented. The aim of such an SPS is to provide a flexible system which allows horizontal collaboration between road carriers with the aim on improving the overall efficiency of the logistic chain. Its impact on the drayage in the port is studied in the context of a large-scale simulation which models the relevant ...
