Focal point
Location
National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System (NARCIS) is the main Dutch national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work. NARCIS aggregates data from around 30 institutional repositories. Besides researchers, NARCIS is also used by students, journalists and people working in educational and government institutions as well as the business sector.
NARCIS provides access to scientific information, including (open access) publications from the repositories of all the Dutch universities, KNAW, NWO and a number of research institutes, datasets from some data archives as well as descriptions of research projects, researchers and research institutes.
This means that NARCIS cannot be used as an entry point to access complete overviews of publications of researchers (yet). However, there are more institutions that make all their scientific publications accessible via NARCIS. By doing so, it will become possible to create much more complete publication lists of researchers.
In 2004, the development of NARCIS started as a cooperation project of KNAW Research Information, NWO, VSNU and METIS, as part of the development of services within the DARE programme of SURFfoundation. This project resulted in the NARCIS portal, in which the DAREnet service was incorporated in January 2007. NARCIS has been part of DANS since 2011.
DANS - Data Archiving and Networked Services - is the Netherlands Institute for permanent access to digital research resources. DANS encourages researchers to make their digital research data and related outputs Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Displaying 796 - 800 of 1863Land lease contracts: properties and the value of bundles of property rights
Contracts are mechanisms for carrying out transactions. Leasing land is a voluntary transaction in which property rights - such as user and income rights - are transferred from landowners to tenants. The bundle of property rights transferred within a lease transaction varies with the type of contractual arrangement. Analysis shows that for the landowner the value of the bundle of property rights to land is determined by the type of lease contract. Landowners prefer lease contracts with as little regulation as possible.
The relative dependence of Spanish landscape pattern on environmental and geographical variables over time
The analysis of the dependence of landscape patterns on environment was carried out in order to investigate the landscape structure evolution of Spain. The underlying concept was that the dependence between landscape spatial structure and environmental factors could be gradually decreasing over time. Land cover data were recorded from aerial photo interpretation of 206 4 x 4 km(2) samples from three different years: 1956, 1984 and 1998. Geographical variables were taken into consideration together with the purely environmental ones.
Sustainable land use under different institutional settings
This paper serves three purposes. First, it gives a short introduction to the concept of sustainability in relation to land use. Since the Brundtland report it has become clear that sustainability is a dynamic concept that changes when conditions in society change. Moreover, it is easier to assess what is `unsustainable¿ than what is `sustainable¿. But that will not suppress the demand for sustainable developments.
Perspectieven bedrijfsmaatregelen voor duurzaambodemgebruik : kosten en effectiviteit van vijf maatregelen
In dit onderzoek zijn de kosten en baten en de effectiviteit op duurzaam bodemgebruik beoordeeld van vijf bedrijfsmaatregelen: aanpassing van vruchtwisseling, preventie van bodemverdichting, optimalisering van ontwatering en flexibel peilbeheer, grondruil en landhuur/-verhuur en omzanden en diepploegen. De effecten op duurzaam bodemgebruik zijn beoordeeld op de aspecten organische stof, bodemstructuur, erosiegevoeligheid en bodemgezondheid. Verruiming van vruchtwisseling met meer maaivruchten en minder rooivruchten gaat meestal ten koste van het bedrijfsinkomen.
Bodemkundig-hydrologisch onderzoek in het herverkavelingsgebied Weerijs-Zuid : bodemgesteldheid en bodemgeschiktheid
De gronden in het herverkavelingsgebied Weerijs-Zuid (onderdeel van voormalige ruilverkaveling Rijsbergen) bestaan uit afzettingen die dateren uit het Pleistoceen en het Holoceen. De afzettingen uit het Pleistoceen, die aan of nabij het oppervlak voorkomen, bestaan voornamelijk uit dekzand, lössleem en fluvioperiglaciaal zand. De zanden en de lössleem worden tot de Formatie van Twente gerekend. Langs de Weerijs of Aa en langs de Hazeldonksche Beek komen aan of nabij het oppervlak afzettingen (zand, klei en veen) voor die voor een belangrijk deel in het Holoceen zijn afgezet.
