ABSTRACT

This study aims to identify governance conditions to realize urban bathing water sites using case study material from two cities in the Netherlands. Urban waters in Europe are increasingly considered an attractive feature for bathing, but research on the realization of urban bathing water sites has been limited. We find that it is important to account for the connectivity between water systems characteristics and governance conditions to increase effectiveness in the realization of urban bathing water sites. Ambitions regarding urban bathing water sites should be addressed in a wider policy context to create co-benefits, like other ambitions related to water quality, resilience and health. An analytical framework has been developed that could be used to support development and evaluation of future urban bathing water initiatives.

摘要

本研究旨在利用荷兰两个城市的案例研究材料确定实现城市沐浴用水点的治理条件。在欧洲，城市水域越来越被认为是一个有吸引力的沐浴特征，但对城市沐浴水域实现的研究一直很有限。我们发现，重要的是要考虑水系统特征和治理条件之间的连通性，以提高城市沐浴用水场所实现的有效性。与其他与水质、复原力和健康相关的目标一样，应在更广泛的政策背景下解决有关城市沐浴用水点的雄心壮志，以创造共同利益。已经开发了一个分析框架，可用于支持未来城市沐浴水倡议的开发和评估。
