Editor's Notes

  • #4: Beginnen met uitleggen keuze voor concept brede welvaart en evt definitiebepaling landelijk gebied.
  • #5: -> maar dit lijkt soms wel zo te worden ervaren De nabijheid van voorzieningen en de materi谷le welvaart scoren relatief minder goed in het landelijk gebied. Laatste punt: wat vindt met van waarde, hoe wordt de brede welvaart ervaren en wat speelt er?
  • #6: Calimero. -> Gebieden hebben een eigen identiteit, kwaliteiten en potentie. Een goede invalshoek is om vanuit daar te denken en te handelen.
  • #8: Er is sprake van verandering, maar hangt samen met diverse ontwikkelingen Niet alleen mobiliteit speelt een rol bij bereikbaarheid. Ook toegankelijkheid, betaalbaarheid. Kwetsbare groepen. Focus op groepen met lage mobiliteit?
