Abstract
This thesis is concerned with public participation in spatial developments. Which has become more and more prevalent in Dutch planning culture, collimating the new and upcoming Omgevingswet. However, participation often encounters resistance which could form a problem for policy makers, governmental actors and initiators of these projects. They often cite NIMBY-ism as an explanation for this resistance which is often short-sighted. This thesis presents a different perspective on public participation. In this case the participation process of Gebiedsvisie Campus Heijendaal in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, was examined via a case study utilising a variation of Hajer’s Discourse Coalition Framework, which is often utilised in policy-related fields. Allowing for a critical look into societal processes. Semi-structured interviews were utilised to question various stakeholders. This data was analysed from which storylines, metaphors and place-frames could be deduced forming the base for a stakeholder’s vision or discourse. From these discourses discourse coalitions can be established that could explain the experienced friction or resistance.
