The research group Water Safety and Spatial Planning is aimed at the multiannual programme Resilient Deltas. In this programme we explore the nature of resilience in relation with multiple interrelated systems in delta areas, design instruments to longitudinal monitor community resilience and its effects, and develop smart solutions to limit the vulnerability and increase the adaptive capacity of communities in delta areas.
Water safety and spatial planning are core elements in our approach, but our research also includes elements of critical infrastructure, social capital, economic development, and governance. By understanding the interrelations of these systems we aim – in collaboration with a diversity of organizations - to develop knowledge and create capabilities to enhance the resilience of delta societies. One of the specific applications is the ‘water sensitive area development approach’.
The research programme offers several opportunities for students with interest in above topics. An overview of the assignments for next semester are published below. We are also open to students with relevant ideas in relation to above themes.
1) Professionals and Self-reliant Citizens
2) Hydro-Social Deltas
3) Water sensitive area development in the Waterpoort region
4) Recreational opportunity map of the West-Brabantse Kreken
5) Spatial and leisure opportunities of a mild desalination wetland
Application + motivation for the projects are requested to be handed in preferably before the summer break. Please send your application and motivation letters to Jean-Marie Buijs: jm.buijs@hz.nl.
