Door klimaatverandering worden in stedelijke gebieden steeds vaker normen en/of acceptatiegrenzen voor neerslag, hitte en droogte overschreden. Gemeenten en waterschappen hebben de taak om te zorgen voor een klimaatbestendige inrichting. Daarbij is de samenwerking met bewoners voor hen essentieel. Om de stap naar uitvoering te kunnen maken hebben professionals van gemeenten en waterschappen behoefte aan inzicht in effecten op microniveau (straten/gebouwen), lokale ervaringen en beleving door burgers, en hoe burgers betrokken kunnen worden bij maatregelen. Eén van de manieren om samen te werken met burgers is door hen te betrekken bij het in kaart brengen van risico's en maatregelen: burgerwetenschap. Burgerwetenschap en in het bijzonder participatieve monitoring is een vakgebied dat sterk in opkomst is. Het is een methode waarbij onderzoekers, professionals en maatschappelijke actoren zoals vrijwilligers en bewoners samenwerken om in lokale projecten data te verzamelen en te duiden.

Planning of transport through inland shipping is complex, highly dynamic and very specific. Existing software support is focusing on road transport planning and/or is merely a visual representation of shipments to be manually assigned to particular vessels. As a result inland shipment planning is time-consuming and highly relies on the personal skills of the planner. In this paper we present a business rules based model that aims to further support inland shipping organizations in their shipment planning by identifying the characteristics and constraints that are of interest and the related explicated business rules. The model is derived from transport-related literature, explorative expert interviews and transport management software vendors. The usability and applicability of the model is subsequently successfully empirically tested using identified performance measures through a case study at a major European inland shipping broker
Purpose:The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) recommends researchers to investigate a widevariety of behavioural and health outcomes. However, researchers often investigate only a part of occupationalhealth (OH) in relation to light. A literature study (2002–2017) regarding the relationship between office lightingconditions and OH was performed to identify gaps and methodological issues.Method:The OH outcomes investigated in this paper were grouped according to the International Classificationof Diseases and analysed per category: physical and physiological health, mental health, eye health, sleep param-eters and visual comfort.Results:Findings from the literature study (20 eligible papers) showed that all OH aspects were mostly but notexclusively measured subjectively. Furthermore, most studies investigated only a fraction of office lighting par-ameters and OH aspects.Conclusions:It seems that Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) and illuminance mainly correlate with OH.However, this may also be explained by gaps and methodological issues in studies described in eligible papers.Based on the literature study, an overview was composed elucidating gaps and methodological issues of officelighting and OH studies. It can be used to design and target the purpose of light and health research.
