Samenvatting

Land subsidence in areas with weak soils affects a large part of the Netherlands and causes many
problems. To solve them diverse and specialized knowledge of possible measures to prevent, mitigate or reverse
land subsidence is needed. This knowledge is fragmented over many agencies, companies and individuals. Here
we show how data and knowledge are related and we stress the importance of implicit knowledge for knowledge
transfer on land subsidence. It is demonstrated that land subsidence in the Netherlands is a “wicked problem”.
