The Impact

Abstract We study the role of land development restrictions for the effects of highway expansion on the spatial distribution of population for the Netherlands. Introducing an IV approach to address multiple endogenous interaction variables, our findings show that new highways accelerated population growth in peripheral areas, but had no apparent effect in suburban municipalities, in line with the presence of development restrictions. Highway expansions caused a ‘leapfrog’ pattern in which suburban growth skipped development-restricted areas and expanded into farther located peripheral areas.

Stay And Play

Introduction:In the Netherlands, we started in 2016 with a new procedure for large scale medical assistance during a crisis. The normal daily assistance in the Netherlands is organized on a regional level, and we have 25 regions. These regions are far too small to handle big incidents, and cooperation is needed on a higher level to generate enough capacity. However, the Aim is that most emergency workers continue to do their own work in standard procedures, we also need more coordination, information management, transition of “stay and play” to “scoop and run” and deploying volunteers and citizens.Aim:We developed the model practice-based, however, we have little big incidents. We feel the urgency to compare this practice to international knowledge.Methods:The goal is twofold: validation of the starting points of our model, but also further improvement: speeding up the transport and treatment of patients, improvement of capacity, safety of the ambulance staff – especially with terrorist attacks or contamination, civil participation. We held the first survey on scientific literature in English, related to items in our prehospital assistance model. (the article is not yet published).Results:The conclusion was, that scientific articles are rare, however, a lot of information is given about the practical course of incidents. Scientific research to explore these experiences is rare, partly due to a missing universal terminology on disaster medicine.Discussion:We want to contribute to enlarging the scientific knowledge on large scale prehospital assistance. We expect that a lot of practical experience can be unlocked by bringing together experts in this field. We want to present the Dutch model, with a focus and invitation to compare this with the models in other countries, to compare experiences, to deepen them and to stimulate international research. We want to commit ourselves to facilitate this.

E-collaboration users tend to abandon their technology when they feel dissatisfied by their experience, even if they have been productive. It is therefore important to understand the causes of satisfaction so we can design and deploy e-collaboration in ways that make users both productive and satisfied. We advance a theory proposing satisfaction as a function of a perceived change in the likelihood of goal attainment (LGA). We test the theory in two countries (United States and The Netherlands) that differ along Hofstede’s (1991) masculinity-femininity cultural dimension. Empirical findings support the theory in both countries among 367 knowledge workers using e-collaboration to address real organizational problems and issues. We discuss the implications for research and practice.

Creativity has in recent years received much attention from the research community, in relation to both technological innovation and knowledge spillovers. In the same vein, the concept of a creative class and of a creative city has gained a rising popularity. The present study aims to investigate the impacts of the urban “ambiance” on the spatial dispersion of heterogeneous types of creative people over different urban agglomerations. To that end, creative people are classified according to their profession or job class into Bohemians, creative core, and creative professionals. This article, then, seeks to relate the presence of each of these groups to the cultural ambiance of a given locality beside other moderator variables. Next, an econometric model is constructed and applied to explain the spatial distribution of creative professions in the Netherlands. Our study first maps out the spatial spread of these three creative classes in the Netherlands. Next, the shares of these creative classes are related to cultural, ecological, ethnic, and geographic characteristics of Dutch municipalities. Our results show that Bohemians and people belonging to the creative core exhibit a specific spatial pattern: they appear to be overrepresented in municipalities with a relative overconcentration of culture, nature, and ethnic diversity and with a short distance to job places.
