Abstract
This research focuses on integrated planning on the theme of heat and examines how integrated planning between municipal domains can be improved. By analysing and evaluating different characterizing components of integrated planning this research gains more insight in the way how integrated planning can be improved to limit the effects of heat stress on health. The following central question is formulated for this research: “How can the integrated planning between the physical and social domain of Dutch municipalities be improved to limit the effects of heat stress on health?” To answer the central research question, a conceptual framework has been drawn up based on four components: context, actors, process and content, described by Walt and Gilson (1994). This research was carried out based on an embedded case study and qualitative research methods were used. The research has shown that the extent to which the various components of integrated planning have been developed differs per component. It can be concluded that the integrated planning between the physical and social domain of Dutch municipalities to limit the effects of heat stress on health can mainly be improved by focusing on the further development of the components actors, process and content.
