Hi everybody,
Today we had our first meeting ‘Ruimte en Mobiliteit’. To me it was quit successful. We did not decide to change the set-up, so I presume the others were satisfied as well. You can check out our blog for a short report of the meeting.
Next meeting is Friday October 30th from 12.00 - 14.00, as mentioned in the previous e-mail.
Last announcement: the fourth meeting, planned on January 8th, will be scheduled one week later: January 15th.
The date for the meeting after that is problematic; November 27th does not suit us.
Suggestions are:
Tuesday 24 November (12.00 – 14.00)
Thursday 26 November (12.00 – 14.00)
Or Tuesday 1 December (after 13.00)
Please, let me know which date suit you.

Trust, policy networks & institutional integration
Hi Everyone,
I've uploaded the following articles.
Klijn, Erik-Hans (2008). "It's the Management Stupid!, Over het belang van management bij complexe beleidsvraagstukken", oratie Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Den Haag: Uitgeverij Lemma.
Edelenbos, Juriaan en Klijn, Erik-Hans (2007). "Trust in Complex Decision Making Networks: A Theoretical and Emperical Exploration", Adminstration and Society, 39(1), pp.25-50.
Curtis, C. and James, B. (2004) 'An institutional model for land use and transport integration', Urban Policy and Research, 22(3):277-297
The first two were sent out as background articles for the PMB Colloquium organised by Stan Majoor in April and the third is the paper about transport and land-use integration that I talked about yesterday. The second paper is the most relevant for my research.
Enjoy!

Meeting september 17th 2009
Thursday September the 17th we’ve discussed the paper written by Els about the use of the do-minimum alternative in the Social Cost Benefit Analysis (SCBA) (see library for the paper). One of the interesting issues described in the paper is the problem of contested knowledge which is explained in the article of van Buuren and Edelenbos (2004). To solve this problem the method of Joint fact-finding can be used as described by Ehrmann and Stinson (1999).
This solution of Joint-Fact-Finding seems very good and logic, but in our discussion we wondered in what way it can be implemented. High costs and long time periods may form barriers to implement this method. It also may need a bureaucratic authority to check the outcomes. The Central Planning Authority (in Dutch CPB) is the authority which checks the SCBA’s, but doesn’t take part in the making process of the SCBA. So if the method of joint fact-finding is implemented in the SCBA, that doesn’t guarantee the CPB approves. The discussion resulted in questions about cooping with uncertainties, using advisory boards, the influence of (policy) power changes every four year and so on.
Next meeting we will discuss the abstract of Andrew.

Week 37 Discussion
8th September 2009, Amsterdam
We had our very first weekly discussion group at the Mensa at FMG, UvA.

We had our very first weekly discussion group at the Mensa at FMG, UvA.
Admin:
- Welcome to Julio
- Website/Blog for exchange/communication
- Weekly meeting dates
- Thanks to Els for organising the monthly meetings
- Abstract discussed is for an upcoming conference on Railway and Real Estate Development.
- Comments on abstract include;
- Els points out that the relationship between land use and transport sector seems to be focused only on the politics and can be better expressed with politics as part of the problem. Theory of interest could be 'Joint Fact Finding', see article in LIBRARY/THEORY.
- Julio asked if the same criteria for measuring disjointedness across the vertical sectors of the planning authorities will be applied to other related sectors (real estate development, transport operators). Also advised to look at AVE (Alta Velocidad Espanola) for Spanish equivalent of high speed transit corridors.
(to be continued...)
