| Abstract: | This thesis investigates the potential of the 2nd layer of the multi-layer safety approach by designing an inventory of feasible and effective spatial measures aimed to enhance the housing flood resilience for redevelopment plans of the Noorderkwartier project in the municipality of Zwolle. Utilizing a combination of literature review, interviews, case study analysis, and spatial analysis, the proposed inventory will be assessed on feasibility and effectivity of the proposed measures. The research showed that there are three different types of implementation barriers that could hinder the consideration of spatial measures as an alternative to conventional flood defense methods, the findings showed that the proposed measures will have to overcome physical-spatial limitations, being accepted by the public and stakeholders and overpass institutional-organizational conflicts to be considered feasible. On the other hand, the spatial measures need to be suitable for the area according to the redevelopment plans while being able to tackle flood scenarios that could happen in 2050. It was proposed a methodology to aboard the different stakeholder’s opinions, perspectives, and priorities in order to select spatial measures that are more likely to be accepted, becoming feasible measures in terms of social acceptance. Likewise, it was proposed the use of a planning resilient tool to assess the effectivity of the measures according to a key performance indicator. The results of this study contribute to improving the reception of the 2nd layer of the MLS approach within urban planning and water management in the municipality of Zwolle so it can become a pilot study for future research on the implementation of integrative approaches. |
