Geo Information to support integral urban strategy making:
implementation issues and solution directions
Better integration of transport and land use (LUT) planning is believed to be crucial in achieving more sustainable mobility patterns in urban areas. From planning theoretical considerations, such integration can be most fruitful if it occurs in early phases of the planning process. Yet, in general, real integrated LUT planning processes are often absent in planning practice, especially in these early phases of planning. Now both domains develop their own separate visions, scenarios, plans and projects focussing on either specific land use or transport issues. This thesis focuses on the substantial divide between both planning domains that is one of the fundamental bottlenecks that block early integration.

The relation of digital exchangeable spatial plans with geographic information infrastructure within Dutch municipal organisations
The implementation and development of digital exchangeable spatial plans (DURP) within different governmental levels is stimulated in the Netherlands. Municipalities are responsible for making local land use plans, which have a strong juridical value and have a high level of details. That is why it is important that the access to, sharing and use of these plans is organised in an effective and efficient way within the municipal organisation. In the most optimal situation the spatial plans are integrated within the geographic information infrastructure (GII). The research has investigated the relation between DURP and the GII within a municipality and has identified factors for a successful implementation and development of DURP.
