Opties voor een klimaatbestendige zoetwatervoorziening in Laag Nederland, tussentijds integratierapport

Dit rapport geeft een tussentijds overzicht van ‘state of the art’ kennis uit lopend onderzoek van het consortium ‘Climate Proof Fresh Water Supply’ (CPFWS) dat in het kader van het onderzoeksprogramma Kennis voor Klimaat wordt uitgevoerd. De focus van dit onderzoek naar een klimaatbestendige zoetwatervoorziening ligt op lokale en regionale oplossingen in Laag Nederland voor land- en tuinbouw en natuur. De zoetwatervoorziening van dit gebied wordt naast droogte vooral bedreigd door verzilting van grond- en oppervlaktewater. In zes samenhangende werkpakketten wordt geanalyseerd hoe dit gebied meer zelfvoorzienend kan worden én hoe aanpassingen in het (hoofd)watersysteem kunnen bijdragen aan de watervoorziening van het gebied. Centraal in de aanpak zijn een 3-tal casestudies in de Hotspots Haaglanden, Rotterdam Regio en Zuidwestelijke delta

Balancing supply and demand of fresh water under increasing drought and salinisation in the Netherlands

The latest climate impact assessments show that climate change will cause an increasing mismatch between demand and supply of fresh water in many densely populated deltas around the world. Recent studies for the Netherlands show that the current water supply strategy is not climate proof in the long-run. Therefore, a future ‘climate proof’ fresh water supply is national priority on the Dutch water policy agend

Profiles of foreign visitors attending the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa

ArticleSeveral studies have profiled sport tourists at a range of events, from the Olympic Games to major automobile, yacht, and horse races. These events have tended to be held in developed countries. Few studies have examined sport tourists at mega events in developing countries for the simple reason that few mega events have been hosted in developing countries. This changed in 2010 with South Africa hosting the FIFA World Cup, and Brazil and Qatar winning the bids to host the 2014 and 2022 events, respectively. Given this recent selection of emerging countries as hosts, a study of visitors to the 2010 World Cup was warranted. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the profiles of foreign visitors to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. During the World Cup, visitors to the host cities (non-locals) were interviewed at Fan Parks and Stadium Precincts in Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, three of the main host cities. A purposive, systematic sampling approach was adopted and face-to-face interviews were conducted on all match days. Eight thousand four hundred and forty nine (8 449) visitors were interviewed. The main aspects evaluated were demographic profiles of the attendees, types of attendees in relation to place of residence and travel behaviour. The study revealed that foreign visitors were mainly from Europe and the United States of America (males, 30-39 years of age) and well-educated. Overall, the respondents had positive attitudes towards South Africa as a host nation and tourism destination
