    This research investigates threats to women’s land rights and explores the effectiveness of land certification interventions using evidence from the Land Investment for Transformation (LIFT) program in Ethiopia. The research aims to provide evidence on the extent that LIFT contributed to women’s tenure security. Quantitative information was analyzed from the profiles of more than seven million parcels to understand how the program had incorporated gender interests into the Second Level Land Certification (SLLC) process.

    This article explores the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for public transport. Three elements are explored. Firstly, the short-term effects, including perceptions of public transport as a vector of virus transmission and shifts towards less-sustainable modes of transport. Secondly, we discuss key challenges such as the new difficulties of providing safe and reliable public transport services, the consequent barriers for the promotion of sustainable and healthy urban mobilities and the potential exacerbation of inequalities.

    This paper presents five design prototypes for cool urban water environments developed in the 'Really cooling water bodies in cities' (REALCOOL) project. The REALCOOL prototypes address an urgent need: urban water bodies, such as ponds or canals, are often assumed to cool down their surroundings during days with heat stress, whereas recent research shows that this is not always the case and that urban water bodies may actually have warming effects too. There are, however, indications that shading, vaporising water, and proper ventilation can keep water bodies and their surroundings cooler.

    Klimaatverandering is ruimtelijk relevant. Daarom heeft de overheid een politieke ambitie vastgelegd in de nationale adaptatiestrategie ‘Maak ruimte voor klimaat’ (2007) om Nederland klimaatbestendig te maken en ook in de toekomst bij ruimtelijke inrichtingsvraagstukken rekening te houden met klimaatverandering.

Bij het opstellen van die visie moeten verschillende belangen en waarden in onze maatschappij.

    Een relatief nieuwe stroming in onderzoeksland is actieonderzoek. In deze onderzoeksvorm wordt kennis van experts en ervaringsdeskundigen handig gecombineerd in een aanpak gericht op het daadwerkelijke bewerkstelligen van maatschappelijke verandering. Deze aanpak gaat verder dan het traditionele onderzoek waarin veelal eerder welvaart dan welzijn centraal staat en waarin gewone burgers geen rol spelen. Deze nieuwe vorm van onderzoek is hard nodig omdat veel van de huidige problemen niet met de traditionele aanpak opgelost kunnen worden.
