Dynamics Of Geo-Informatics To Support Flood Management : Experiences In The Netherlands, George G. Vab Der Meulen
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Support to flood management as experienced in the Netherlands is both a matter of building up of knowledge, expertise and experience in a long historical context, and,more recently a matter of response to flood (risk) circumstances requiring the support of advanced geo-spatial information technology for adequate and dynamic decision making in case of a (possible) disaster event, managerial and operational. The two matters are explained in detail in this contribution.

The Inclusive I.C.E. Cube :New Dimensions And Approaches For Design Inclusion, Praima Israsena Na Ayudhya
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

As most of products are originally designed in developed countries, conventional elder-care products present serious difficulties and exclude users with different cultural customs and lower economic status. There is an urgent need for design methods, based on an expansive understanding of not only age and disability, but also income, education and culturally related factors, which will lead to a minimizing of the impact of these differences and thereby extend the effectiveness of …

In this respect law was first enacted by the Agency for cultural affair in 1975, with an aim to conserve groups of traditional buildings and not only any specific single buildings. From then until 2010, 86 areas in the whole country have been announced as the "preserved districts". The process for designation of a preserved district starts with a fundamental study, a …
