This document summarizes research on the relationship between climate change and travel behavior. The researchers analyzed mobility patterns from a Dutch travel survey under current and projected 2050 climate conditions. They found that mode choices and destination choices varied based on geographical context, personal background like income and age, and season. Climate change is expected to decrease car use and increase public transit, walking and cycling in denser urban areas but have less impact in rural areas. The researchers conclude more analysis is needed on how weather influences travel decisions based on individual situational and subjective factors.

This document provides a summary of a working paper that examines how Planning Support Systems (PSS) can improve knowledge use in spatial planning. It outlines a conceptual framework distinguishing between different forms and uses of knowledge, and applies this framework to analyze recent PSS case studies. The analysis finds that while PSS often focus on instrumental knowledge use, conceptual use is growing. However, symbolic and interactive knowledge uses are still lacking. The paper argues that PSS have potential to better support knowledge use in planning by aiding communication, considering stakeholders, and making learning an explicit aim. More research is needed on PSS applications in real planning contexts.
This document summarizes the 2008 Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller, which ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess firearms for self-defense within their home. The case was brought by Dick Heller and Shelly Parker challenging the District of Columbia's ban on handgun registration and requirement to store firearms disassembled or locked. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled 5-4 that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected to service in a militia.
Cesar working document 3 urban strategy experiment 2Marco
This document reports on a randomized controlled trial experiment testing the added value of an urban planning support system called Urban Strategy. The experiment involved master's students in urban planning completing a strategic planning task. Students were either given access to Urban Strategy or not. Evaluation results found that those using Urban Strategy perceived the planning process and outcomes as being higher quality. They also rated the usability characteristics of Urban Strategy positively. The document concludes that Urban Strategy shows potential for improving strategic planning processes and outcomes through its interactive interface and fast modeling capabilities.
Calculators have evolved over time from the abacus, an early counting tool used by moving beads on rods, to the arithmometer, an early mechanical calculator capable of the four basic arithmetic operations, to today's advanced graphing calculators which can perform algebraic manipulation and graphical display of functions.

The document provides instructions for making a movie, including developing a genre or theme, writing a script, casting actors, scouting locations, filming, adding sound and music, and sharing the finished movie. It also defines what a screenplay is - a written work made for a film or TV program that can be original or adapted, and functions like a dialogue between characters. An example short screenplay is given about a character named Andrea sharing a problem with Mark.
The document discusses the effects of climate change on travel behavior and destination choices. It analyzes mobility patterns from current and projected 2050 weather conditions using Dutch National Travel Survey data. The results show changes in the number and distance of trips by activity type across seasons. Work/study and leisure touring trips increase in winter, while maintenance and picking up trips decrease in summer under projected 2050 climate conditions.

This document provides a summary of a systematic literature review on socio-spatial causes and effects of urban bicycling. It conducted searches of academic journals in the Web of Science database using combinations of the keyword "bicycle" with other keywords related to built environment, social environment, and personal factors. A total of 76 relevant articles were identified and categorized. The review found the most publications on topics related to community, gender, infrastructure, density, and built environment. Emerging topics included bicycling and public space, gentrification, social interaction, and emotions. Most literature has been published in the last 5-10 years, indicating a growing interest in research on urban cycling.
Cycling provides many benefits as a sustainable mode of transportation. In the Netherlands, 27% of all trips are made by bicycle, with cycling rates being high across all ages, sexes, incomes, and purposes. Dutch cities have extensive cycling infrastructure separated from vehicular traffic, including bike highways. Strict traffic laws protect cyclists. Cycling rates are even higher in urban areas. Policy interventions that have increased cycling include expanding bicycle parking and prioritizing bike speeds over car speeds. Chinese cities now resemble European cities in the 1960s before pro-cycling policies. With innovations like e-bikes and bike-sharing, cycling could play a larger role in addressing China's transportation challenges.
Cycling has long been a part of Dutch culture, but it was not always the dominant form of transportation it is today. Through infrastructure investments and linking cycling routes to land use planning, the Dutch were able to increase cycling rates and establish cycling as a viable alternative to car travel. While Amsterdam cyclists may seem anarchic to outsiders, in reality they function as an emergent swarm that the infrastructure system supports.

This document discusses the relevance of bike-train systems. It provides 7 reasons why bike-train systems are relevant: 1) Because car dependency is increasingly problematic, 2) Bike-train systems are a viable alternative to car dependency, 3) Bikes and trains are mutually dependent, 4) Bike-train systems provide benefits greater than the sum of their parts, 5) Bike-train systems have ramifications for land use and mobility, 6) Bike-train systems support sustainable, healthy and livable urban regions, 7) Bike-train systems could be an export product. It also notes that bike-train systems are already happening in some places and should be further developed and supported.
This document summarizes key insights from a study on cycling in the Netherlands and potential lessons for China. It finds that 31% of all trips in Amsterdam are by bike, growing mostly at the expense of cars. Cycling rates are high across age, income, and education levels. The Dutch cycle for all trip purposes but more for education. Cities with faster bike trips relative to cars and high citizen participation see increasing cycling shares. Improving cycling safety involves increasing car parking costs and priority for cyclists. The perception of cycling conditions improves with more bike parking and participation. While Chinese cities now resemble Europe in the 1960s, innovations like electric bikes and bike highways, and bike-train combinations could expand cycling spatially. Adopting

Dr. Marco te Brömmelstroet is an assistant professor who researches land use and mobility. His presentation discusses the relationship between land use and transportation, noting that mobility is important for connecting dispersed activities but is also unsustainable. There is a dilemma between encouraging mobility and sustainability. Land use and transportation systems influence each other reciprocally over time through feedback loops. Integrated land use and transportation planning is needed to balance accessibility with environmental and social impacts. Tools for integrated planning include defining mobility environments, using the node-place model around transit stations, and creating accessibility maps.

This document discusses transport modelling and the "predict and provide" paradigm. It provides background on induced traffic and notes that while induced traffic has been understood theoretically for over a century, it is often disregarded or underestimated in transport models used for infrastructure project evaluation. The document suggests that transport models are used primarily to determine where and when to build proposed roads, rather than assessing whether to build them, since induced traffic does not differ much between alternatives. Omitting induced traffic can bias assessments of environmental impacts and economic viability of road projects.
This document summarizes a research project that studied the impact of climate change on mobility in the Netherlands. The project found that precipitation, clouds, wind and temperatures above 25°C negatively impact cycling and increase car use. It also found that cycling is more strongly affected by weather in remote, open areas than in dense, central areas. The project recommends taking future increases in cycling due to climate change into account when planning cycling infrastructure, and influencing urban design to shelter pedestrians and cyclists from weather.
