Spatial and temporal scales

Versie van 19 jan 2018 om 11:55

Competing spatial claims in delta's can be related to various spatial scales, for instance:

Local 'production plot' scale: spatial concessions are given for production of specific species. This limits the possibilities for upscaling.
Water system scale: water systems are used by different functions. Issues as carrying capacity (in ecological and other dimensions) are relevant
Country scale: Existing spatial policy for near shore functions seems to be in a deadlock. There is no virtually no space to facilitate innovations in blue growth. Therefor there is a need for regime shift in policy and trying out new concepts for spatial planning.

Competing spatial claims in delta's also has various temporal scales, for instance:

Internal changes with few stakeholder can be done within several months or years;
Changes involving spatial planning or even cross-border collaborations are likely to take more than a decade;
Water stress might increase as a result of climate change and increased salinization in the course of decades

-* Multi-sourcing: other local sources of fresh water may be used, for instance effluents of nearby wastewater treatment plants. Another option is storage(buffering) and transport of redundant fresh water from precipitation. These steps involve various stakeholders and adaptation of spatial planning.
