Managed realignment (MR) involves repositioning coastal or river flood defenses to re-establish tidal flooding and restore intertidal ecosystems in reclaimed areas. The restoration of intertidal ecosystems contributes to flood risk management and achieving nature conservation objectives. However, MR …

Coastal realignment is the procedure of repositioning or removing coastal defense structures to restore tidal flooding and facilitate the development of intertidal ecosystems in a previously reclaimed area from the sea. A key policy objective of coastal realignment is to increase ecosystem services provided …

Deze Atlas is in een 'geoviewer' gedigitaliseerde samenvatting van het rapport 'Beleving rondom zeedijken in Zeeland' (2022). Een studie die onderzocht hoe inwoners van Zeeland de gebieden rondom zeedijken beleven en aankijken tegen de landschappelijke herinrichting van een drietal casuslocaties, te …

In Zeeland worden regelmatig herinrichtingsprojecten uitgevoerd in de omgeving van dijken. Hiervoor kunnen verschillende aanleidingen zijn, zoals benodigde dijkversterking, natuurherstel en gebiedsontwikkeling ten behoeve van woningbouw, economie en recreatie. Vaak gaat het om een combinatie. In deze …

The Interreg North Sea region project FRAMES, Flood Resilience by Multi-LayerEd Safety, addressed the shared territorial challenge of climate change impacts, specifically the physical, economic and social effects of floods. To deal with future climate uncertainties, alternative options need to be considered …

Diversification of flood risk management strategies (FRMS) in response to climate change relies on the adaptive capacities of institutions. Although adaptive capacities enable flexibility and adjustment, more empirical research is needed to better grasp the role of adaptive capacities to accommodate …

Introduction The research group of the Hogeschool Zeeland has set up a consortium to develop new knowledge about cascading effects in critical infrastructure in the event of a flooding; as well as measures in pro- action, response and recovery phases to help the involved professionals increase the resilience …

This research is part of the international FRAMES project, a cooperation between the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark to share knowledge and experiences with the Multi-Layer Safety approach. The shared data is used to build sustainable strategies and improve the capacity of …
