title: Spatial Intervention in Rural Development: The Case of Kiel-Windeweer

full_text_status: public
abstract: To improve a region in the north-east of the Netherlands, the Veenkoloniën, a series of redundant canals were upgraded and connected to create a navigable route and link to (inter)national recreational waterways. In order to assess the effect of the reopening a village on the route, Kiel-Windeweer, was studied. This study included not only the economic effects like number of businesses and the succes thereof, but also cultural and social effects such as sense of place, valuation and identity. Although the potential effect of the reopening was studied using multiple measures, it seems that the effect has been minimal and as such the project has not delivered the projected benefits for the village. The effect on the entire region however remains insufficiently studied.
