Book excerpt: New Instruments in Spatial Planning addresses the topic of transferring development opportunities between areas in planning practice by a debate between academics, lawyers and planning practitioners at an international planning symposium in Annapolis, MD, USA and the Van Doorne-Habiforum conference on Transferable Development Rights a year later. The idea of transferring development opportunities between areas is more than only the transfer of development rights. It relates more to compensation: not in money, but in a non-financial perspective. A comparative study on non-financial compensation was started, funded by Habiforum and linked to a number of research projects, such as Van Der Veens and Spaans research funded by the Delft Centre for Sustainable Urban Areas and Janssen-Jansens research funded by the Dutch Scientific Organization NWO-STIP.

Download or read book Performance Measurement in the Polder written by Boris J. F. Gooskens and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trends of public accountability guide the introduction of performance measurement in municipal subsidy awarding of non-profit organizations in The Netherlands. Specific characteristics of this relation make that there are limitations on the application of existing performance measurement practices, which may cause a lack of essential stakeholder support. In this explorative case-study research, we analyze what key factors influence stakeholder support for performance measurement in the arts and culture-, housing association- and sport sector. Successively, we develop hybrid arrangements that increase the level of stakeholder support by varying, mitigating or conditioning the alternative values of the key factors. As well as the practical value of the hybrid arrangements, this research has its theoretical value in showing that the traditional 'hard' instrument of performance measurement transforms in 'softer' negotiated arrangements by the Dutch stakeholder-collecting Polder model.

Download or read book Housing Policy Analysis written by Stuart J. Lowe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By virtue of a quiet revolution over nearly a hundred years, Britain has evolved into a home-owning society. The impact of this on British society has been barely understood, but it has helped to shape the Blair 'workfare' state and to draw Britain firmly towards the English-speaking world while distancing the country from other European nations. Taking a policy-analysis approach and drawing from the burgeoning comparative literature, this textbook explores what has happened to British housing since 1900. Providing more than an account of British housing, the book reinterprets the housing system in a way that is sensitive to the historical and cultural contexts of British policy and society. Examining the nature of 'housing' and how it helps to shape society, Lowe sets British housing in its global context. Written in an accessible style, Housing Policy Analysis leads the reader through the basic concepts to more challenging themes. It will be important reading for students of housing studies, social policy, public policy and applied social studies.
