Abstract
The immediate cause for this study was the expected ‘explosive’ increase of agricultural vacancy in the near future. Except historical farms, also large (cubical) sheds built since the 1970s are expected to become vacant soon. Hence, in a resolution province Gelderland asked for new business cases regarding the redevelopment of agricultural vacancy, in addition to the mainstream redevelopment projects. Therefore, the central question was ‘to what extent are current, innovative, redevelopment initiatives in region Achterhoek for vacant agricultural building plots influenced by several opportunities and constraints?’
This research is conducted on the basis of a single case study on innovative redevelopment initiatives in region Achterhoek. Moreover, two sub cases engaged in the execution of an innovative idea to redevelop vacant agricultural building plots were selected. The main conclusion of the thesis was that the ‘degree of innovation’ influenced the context in which a project is developed. Formal authorities affect the process by (not) ‘facilitating’ in legislation and procedures. However, it became clear that (lack of) expertise among actors has the most influence on the progress. Moreover, also the interconnected organizational concepts ‘sense of urgency’ and ‘stabilisation among actors’ influence the opportunities and constraints of innovative redevelopment projects.
