Abstract
In the 1990s, a highly technocratic and ecologically minded plan for a Dutch National Ecological Network was originated, including the transformation of a range of former agricultural areas into nature. This research focuses on the role of co-governance in the societalization or ‘social sustainability’ of nature development projects. Two nature development projects in the North of the Netherlands have been studied and interviews were held with stakeholders, alongside an actor-mapping methodology. The case-studies show how the national nature goals were implemented in harmony with regionally and historically embedded spatial agendas and by reaching mutual gains with agriculture, recreation and water management functions. The conclusion is that co-governance plays a pivotal role in developing mediated nature in a socially sustainable way. On the one hand as a means to reflect values and interests in the decision making process and on the other hand to build consensus in plural societies.
