dc.description.abstractClimate change can be considered the biggest challenge that societies face nowadays, which causes negative pressures which are likely to increase in the future and have significant impacts. Urban areas, like Arnhem, are increasingly experiencing these pressures in the form of heavy rainfall and the urban heat island effect. In their effort to make urban business parks climate-adaptive the municipality remains struggling due to private ownership of properties. The large share of privately-owned properties on urban business parks asks for the involvement of property owners in climate adaptation. This research made use of a mixed-method approach, consisting of a survey and semi-structured interviews, which were held among property owners on urban business parks. In doing so, it answers the following research question: ‘How can the municipality of Arnhem foster the implementation of climate adaptation measures on urban business parks within the municipality?’ From this research, it can be concluded that the municipality of Arnhem can be considered a front-runner on the climate adaptation. However, this research has shown that the municipality of Arnhem could make several alterations on its approach to climate adaptation to further foster the implementation of climate adaptation measures by property owners on urban business parks.en_US
