Innovations in the Netherlands: a time dynamic analysis van der WEIJ, George This article covers several aspects of innovations within firms in the Netherlands. First of all the innovativeness of the Dutch industry is investigated. This is done by means of a measuring scheme developed by the Faculty of Spatial Sciences of the University of Groningen. The next step will be to analyze the spatial distribution of innovative firms in the Netherlands. A special feature of this investigation is the possibility to compare the present situation with the one in 1983 when a comparable research was conducted. In this way the spatial temporal paltem can be analyzed. Furthermore some attention is paid to employment implications of innovations.

Planning for the telecommunications-based city: experience and prospects GRAHAM, Stephen This paper analyses the experience in applying 'telematics' networks and services to confront the urban policy and planning challenges facing cities. Telematics - the result of the convergence of telecommunications and computing technologies - are important facilitating technologies behind current processes of urban restructuring. But they are also a prime focus of current urban policy innovation. Three particular areas of such innovation are discussed in this paper: using telematics for urban economic development, developing social and community telematics applications, and networking between different cities. A wide range of policy experience is analysed in each area. The paper concludes by highlighting the continued importance of national policies in shaping urban policy in this area, and suggests how this new wave of urban telematics policies may play an important role in developing a place-based politics for shaping progressive urban change in the new global era.

The 'urban mobility integrated basin' and its policy-oriented identification ARCIDBUGI, Franco This contribution reassumes and updates the concept and operationality of the 'urban mobility integrated basin' (UMIB) as an appropriate unit of reference and prerequisite of rationality for any process of territorial planning and transport planning. The concept and rationality of the UMIB presuppose in fact the adoption (and consequent research) of a 'policy-oriented demand', albeit limited - in this specific case - to 'urban' mobility.

Behavioural responses to improved information supply and demand management in transport: A methodological approach illustrated by a case study in Barcelona van ZANTEN, Nathalie; NUKAMP, Peter; PEPPING, Gerard This paper has two aims: ( 1) it offers an analytical framework for transport telematics policy with a particular view on behavioural responses of road users, and (2) it illustrates the methodology developed by means of a simple case study. The use of a so-called nested approach appears to offer a promising cohesive framework, which is tested by means of an empirical investigation into the impacts of information-based traffic control measures during the Olympic Games in Barcelona.
