Land transactions can have an important impact on land use. Consequently, land transactions and landownership have a tight relationship with spatial planning. Land is fixed and heterogeneous through its location, resulting in each landowner having a monopoly position. For governments, the significance of landownership can be high if planned developments are not realised by landowners themselves.\n\nA reasonable amount of research has been conducted on the relationship between public (land) policy, public land acquisition and the property market. This body of research is diverse and has been conducted by researchers of many different backgrounds. This research adds to the existing literature by providing a micro-scale perspective on land transactions, in which the different relevant aspects are studied in an integrated manner. In contrast to the dominant body of literature, the core of this study does not attempt to quantify the results, but to gain insight into the mutual relation and interdependency of the different relevant aspects. This was achieved by studying a limited number of public-private land transactions in depth. Six main bodies of literature were used as a basis to provide insights and theory on different aspects of land transactions: neo-classical economics, (old) institutionalism, new institutional economics, political economy of institutionalism, behavioural economics and sociological studies on property rights.\n\nAlthough much has been written on land policy and land transactions, few studies offer detailed insights into transaction processes. Most studies focus either on the outcomes (prices) of land transaction or on the influence of a specific instrument or approach on land transactions or landowners. In order to gain a full understanding of land and property rights, there is a need to integrate these approaches and to move beyond disciplinary research on property into interdisciplinary approaches. This thesis represents a start in filling the scientific gap, moving towards a more heterogeneous and micro-scale approach towards land transactions. The following research question guided the research:\n\nHow can the different aspects that determine how public-private land transactions take place be understood and related from a micro-scale perspective?\n\nThe aim of this research is to gain a deeper understanding of public-private land transactions from a micro-scale perspective.\n\nChapter 2 Land transactions were studied using empirical data from Dutch land transaction processes. In an iterative process, I continuously moved from land policies and strategies, via their general impact on the land and property market, to the individual land transactions that resulted from these public land policies, and then back again to the land policies again. This iterative process enabled me to bring together different individual parts (land transactions) into one whole (the land market) and link this to the governmental land policy.\n\nA case study design was used to analyse land policy and land transactions. Case studies provide a manner of studying specific phenomena holistically in the real-life context and is therefore well suited in order to gain a deeper understanding of land transactions. Four different cases provided the main data for analysis: one case of nature development (Oostvaarderswold), two cases of urban development (Van Boehoornplein and Deltabuurt) and one case of infrastructure development. This variety of cases enabled me to study a broad pallet of land acquisition practises.\n\nThe data were analysed using a theoretical frame that grew according as the research progressed. This study combines both qualitative and quantitative methods in an effort to gain insight into land policy and its underlying land transactions. It was the combination of these methods that enabled me to gain a deep understanding of land transactions. The main source, in order to gain insights into human interpretations of land policy and land transactions, were interviews (n=71) with landowners, land acquirers and other professionals such as land use planners, policy makers, and scientific experts. A second data source in the case studies was provided by the documents that were available about the specific case. These documents primarily consisted of: planning documents, political documents and meeting reports. The third data source in this study were cadastral purchase deeds and land transaction data. The fourth group of empirical data included 89 legal expropriation sentences that were collected from the database \u2018Legal Intelligence\u2019. Finally, information was used about Dutch land policy that was published or available in other ways during the research period (2011-2015) so as to gain a better insight into the actual debate on land policy in the Netherlands. These data included newspaper articles, websites, LinkedIn discussions, conferences, informal talks about my research with practitioners, scientists, colleagues or friends, and visits to inform municipalities about land readjustment that I made as part of my professional position at the Cadastre, Land Registry and Mapping Agency.\n\nThe diversity in both the qualitative (texts) and quantitative (numbers) data that were used in this research led to different methods of data analysis. All methods of analysis occurred according to the iterative meaning-making process of the hermeneutic spiral. The methods included coding, statistical analysis, network analysis and the historical construction of events. Triangulation of data sources and methods, peer colleague examination and a broad variety of cases were used to increase the internal validity, consistency, and external validity of the research.\n\nChapter 3 Compulsory Purchase (CP) is known as indispensable planning legislation to enable efficient plan implementation. Central in the CP procedure is the amount of compensation that the landowner receives. Various countries have their own set of compensation guidelines in which the just compensation for CP in a variety of","auteur":"Sanne Broekhof","auteur_slug":"sanne-broekhof","publicatiedatum":"6 juni 2016","taal":"EN","url_flipbook":"https:\/\/ebook.proefschriftmaken.nl\/ebook\/sannebroekhof?iframe=true","url_download_pdf":"","url_epub":"","ordernummer":"FTP-202604091240","isbn":"978-94-6257-739-8","doi_nummer":"","naam_universiteit":"Wageningen University","afbeeldingen":12652,"naam_student:":"","binnenwerk":"","universiteit":"Wageningen University","cover":"","afwerking":"","cover_afwerking":"","design":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio\/10471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/us_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10471"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio\/10471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10472,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio\/10471\/revisions\/10472"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"us_portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio_category?post=10471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
