Making a difference : boundary management in spatial governance

Typering extensieve landbouw in Nederland

“…Gegeven de beschikbare data binnen GIAB is dat onvermijdelijk, maar het levert wel beperkingen of kanttekeningen op voor het gebruik van de typologie.

“…of sectors, organizations, tasks, roles, ideas, in territories. The question as to how actors can deal with boundaries in integrative processes has recently gained attention in spatial planning (van Broekhoven et al 2015;Westerink 2016).
