Mapping the development of green in gardens over time: is your neighbour’s garden really greener? Open
Private gardens are an important aspect of small urban green space and help provide a wide range of ecosystem services. This contribution is increasingly recognised and several local governments now stimulate residents to replace garden pa…
Vulnerability and Resilience to Drought and Saltwater Intrusion of Rice Farming Households in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam Open
Adverse impacts of climate and environmental hazards are unevenly distributed between socioeconomic groups due to differences in exposure, vulnerability and resilience. This study examines the distribution of vulnerability and resilience t…
Satellite parking: a new method for measuring parking occupancy Open
Parking management plays a critical role in keeping urban spaces accessible and urban managers strive for an optimal balance between not enough and too much parking. Deciding which parking space can be liberated or needs to be extended req…
Mapping Logistics Development in the Netherlands Open
The increasing demand for logistics real estate calls for a better understanding of the location dynamics of logistics firms. Previous empirical studies have largely focused on describing the spatial patterns of logistics but not on explai…

The Impact of Road Development on Household Welfare in Rural Papua New Guinea Open
In this paper we evaluate the impact of road development on household welfare in rural Papua New Guinea (PNG) between 1996 and 2010, using two geocoded cross-sectional national household surveys and corresponding road maps. We make use of …
Vulnerability and resilience to drought and saltwater intrusion of rice farming households in the Mekong delta, Vietnam Open
Adverse impacts of climate and environmental hazards are unevenly distributed between socioeconomic groups due to differences in exposure, vulnerability and resilience. This study examines the distribution of vulnerability and resilience t…
Urban density and spatial planning: The unforeseen impacts of Dutch devolution Open
National spatial planning has strongly influenced urban development and open space preservation in the Netherlands since the 1950s and established the country's reputation as a planner's paradise. The gradual withdrawal from this active an…
Urban Attractivity Index of the Netherlands in 2002 Open
The urban attractivity index describes the presence of four types of urban amenities in 2002 in the Netherlands: historic buildings and monuments; cultural facilities; shops; hotels, restaurants and other catering establishments. The numbe…
Valuing the effect of land use change on landscape services on the urban–rural fringe Open
The urban–rural fringe is a dynamic environment where urban expansion limits the provision of landscape services. Economic valuation of these services is proposed to quantify the impact of urbanisation and inform planners of the potential …
Replication Data for: Open-space preservation in the Netherlands: Planning, practice and prospects Open
Open-space preservation is a planner's issue that is constantly debated, in particular on the success of the implemented instruments. We analysed the contribution of Dutch policies to open-space preservation by comparing actual land-use de…
Determinants of Farmland Abandonment on the Urban–Rural Fringe Open
China’s urban explosion has resulted in a substantial loss of agricultural production on the fringes of many cities. Farmland is not only converted into urban uses but also taken out of production because it has lost its value for those wh…
Urban form and commuting in large Chinese cities Open
Using novel crowd-sourced datasets we study the impact of several urban form variables (city size, urban density, land-use mix, polycentricity and spatial clustering) on the cost of commuting expressed in time and distance for 30 cities wi…
The impact of urban resurgence on public green space Open
Cities are great places for interaction and innovation that continue to attract new waves of migrants. This is reflected in the resurgence of most cities in Europe since the turn of the century. Their current popularity may, however, threa…
The attraction of urban cores: Densification in Dutch city centres Open
Urban growth is typically considered a process of expansion. As population grows and transport costs decrease urban density gradients are expected to gradually flatten. This is a basic feature of cities, explained by urban economic models …
Localising global urban development; simulating local exposure to natural hazards in the global 2UP model Open
Future population growth is expected to concentrate in urban agglomerations that are already exposed to numerous natural hazards. It is difficult, however, to assess this increase in risk as natural hazards are often concentrated in space …
Revisiting the relation between economic growth and the environment; a global assessment of deforestation, pollution and carbon emission Open
The UN's Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 aim on one hand at inclusive growth and eradicating poverty, and on the other at preserving environments. The relation between development and the environment has been studied extensively sin…
Replication Data for: An indicator set for capturing long-term open space fragmentation and urban development dynamics Open
Open space preservation is an important spatial policy issue in developed, densely populated countries. Understanding open space dynamics in relation to urban development is critical to the development and evaluation of such policies. Star…
