Results to build on for project part 3

As can be seen in the similarities and differences table, both groups had similar
ideas for the project area, with in most cases some minor differences. The SWOT
and the strategies only differ in a few aspects, so they can easily be combined. The
visions were a bit different, since one of them focussed on the project area itself and
the other focussed on Zwolle in general. Since in this project only the project area
will be redeveloped, it is best to use the vision that focuses on the project area.
The area development plan is relatively similar, with the only big difference being the
fact that one of the groups wants to change the offices in the area into housing.
Changing the offices into housing will also be done in the final report, because this is
in line with the target of the municipality to create a residential area of 25,000 -
50,000 m2.
The change in the amount of houses in the area also changes the amount of parking
spaces needed in the area, which is important for the mobility assessment.
Therefore, the mobility assessment of group 6 will be used.
The change in the amount of residential buildings also changes the energy demand,
so for energy transition the assessment of group 6 will also be used.
The climate adaptation assessment of both groups are also similar, both wanting to
integrate more green spaces into the area. The only conflicting idea in this part is the
water roof. Because one of the groups wants to place solar panels on as many roofs
as possible, there is no room left for the water roofs. Therefore, this idea will only be
implemented if after calculations not all roofs have to have solar panels.
Lastly, the water assessments of both groups are quite different. One of the groups
has chosen a more ‘gray’ approach with water storage tanks, the other group has
chosen a more green approach where the water can infiltrate the soil. Because the
latter approach fits more with the climate adaptation assessment, this approach will
be chosen

● Preliminary ideas: sketch your ideas for the strategic vision and area
development plan.

The strategic vision encompasses multiple topics, as discussed in the above part.
The primary focus lies in transforming pavement areas into green spaces, improving
biodiversity, heat effects, water logging and air quality. The implementation of a park
along the IJselalle, enriching the area with recreational amenities, will play a big role.
The strategic vision is divided in three topics:
Water management
- Improve permeability in the area by incorporating green infrastructure, to
enhance stormwater and reduce run-off. Additionally, wadis must be
deepened and water quality must be sufficient.
- There must be set a required water storage in the area, further analysis for
this amount is needed. Furthermore, existing and future buildings can be used
to store water.
- Sewage systems capacity must be expanded in areas with a high risk of
flooding.
Climate + Energy transition
- 70% of energy use to be supplied by renewable energy in 2030, increasing to
100% by 2050.
- All buildings must have energy label A/B, to reach this, older buildings must
be renovated.
- Make use of solar panels, especially on top of existing buildings.
- Implementing green spaces to reduce heat stress.
Mobility
- The focus of the area must be on pedestrians and cyclists. Implementing
car-traffic reducing measures must help to a limited parking spaces availability
of 750. Additionally, a mobility hub is a must-have to implement.
- Make public transport more accessible in the area, this also helps reducing
the use of cars.
 ● Detailed planning of tasks and cooperation process: Provide an answer to
the following questions: What are the key actions/tasks? By when do you
want to complete these tasks? Who will contribute to what task? How
often and where will you meet? How will you share data and information?

report

At least 24 hours before each deadline, every group member should have his/her
individual task finished. Therefore, we have 24 hours as a group to check the results
and adjust if necessary.

Everyone will be contributing evenly to the Work Plan, Policy Advice and Technical
report. Before the start of each topic, a meeting will be held with the project group.
Here, tasks can be made and divided over the group members. From here on, each
week can be looked into whether it is necessary to plan a physical meeting with the
group. It is expected that most of the work can be done individually. During the
feedback moments the group will come together to see the progress and discuss the
next steps.

The communication between group member will be via Whatsapp. Communication

between students and teachers will be via email. The final reports will be made in a
shared Overleaf document. Drafts may be made in Word or Google docs, depending
on the preference of each group member.

● Contingency planning: explain potential issues that may arise and how you
will handle these. Think e.g. about a group member not attending group
meetings or not delivering the promised results, how to avoid plagiarism,
difficulties meeting deadlines or illness

Contingency planning
Working within a group can be difficult sometimes. Especially now that two groups have
merged into one larger group some hardships may arise. The two groups developed a
different vision and had varying ideas about the interventions, so conflict may occur. This
chapter will discuss how to prevent and mitigate disagreements.

Firstly it is important that the communication is punctual and clear as to prevent

misconceptions and miscommunications. This is often the reason for conflicts within a group,
even though it can be easily avoided. The way of communication is explained in the previous
chapter.

Secondly the agreements made between the groupmates should be followed and respected.
If a meeting is planned, everyone should be present or have a good reason not to be
present. If someone does not attend the meeting, a text message should be sent to ask for
the reason why. If they do not have a good reason they will be warned, but only the first time.
if it happens a second time consequences are put in place, like a cake point. If a person
collects three cake points they will have to buy a treat for the rest of the group and share it
with them at the next meeting. Other ways to collect cake points are not completing a task
before the deadline set and being late for a meeting.

If due to some circumstances, like illness, someone can not finish their part of the project
before the deadline, that person should alert their group mates of this and come up with a
solution together with them.

Plagiarism is quite difficult to detect, but as written in the previous chapter, group mates
should check each other's work, also for plagiarism. If a group member suspects something
is plagiarism, they first should confront the writer of the piece of text in question about this. If
that group member says they wrote it and did not copy it, the group member should believe
that person. However, if it happens a second time or the member is caught in the act of
plagiarizing, the group member may alert the other group members or the study advisor, as it
can also influence their grade of the project.

In a perfect world these types of conflicts would not arise, but in reality they do occur, but
now it is at least discussed how to deal with these situations and they should not escalate
much.

Length: Maximum of 2000 words.

Assessment: This work plan isn't graded but it’s adequate completion is mandatory
for the project. Feedback will be given when necessary. In case your work plan
raises questions the project coordinators will ask you questions about it during the
mid-term presentations or invite you to attend a Q&A session.
