Practice: support to delta planning
Recommendations for planning practice
- Highlights of Strategic Delta Planning research: the flyer contains recommendations and lessons learned on how to strengthen strategic delta planning (flyer).
Tools to support delta planning
- Strategy Lab: co-designing strategies for delta and river areas using a system-based, spatial design approach (Flyer, reports Lab I and Lab II)
- MOTA: a tool to assess plan implementation feasibility (Manual, articles by Phi et al., Nguyen et al., Korbee et al.)
- Tool assessment framework: a framework to assess outcomes of a participatory planning tool for participants and tool developers. (article Evers et al, research reports van der Stroom, Saptadjaja)
Approaches that were studied:
- Transfer of Dutch delta planning approach to Vietnam and Bangladesh (PhD thesis Shahnoor Hasan, in prep)
- Four innovations for the Mekong Delta: floating rice and lotus flowers (Upper Delta), room for the river (Middle Delta), shrimp-mangrove (Coastal Delta) (PhD thesis Vo Thi Minh Hoang, in prep)
- Tidal river management in the southwest of Bangladesh (article, report focus group discussions, documentary, booklet in prep)
- Changes in actor coalitions in Dutch delta planning: opening of Haringvliet, and climate adaption (articles in prep)
- Strategic delta planning as a mind changer in planning? (Project leaflet 2.0 (In prep), Synthesis article, Special Issue)
Analytical frameworks:
- Framework to analyse consent for strategic delta planning from agenda setting to plan formulation and implementation
- Criteria to introduce and assess strategic innovations in delta planning
- Criteria to assess soft implementation of strategic delta plans
