The Geography of the Netherlands 1964-1984. I.D.G. Bulletin 1983/84.
Meijer, Henk, Ed.
The 20th anniversary of the establishment of the information and Documentation Center for the Geography of the Netherlands (IDG) occurred on September 21, 1984. To mark this anniversary, the 1983/84 issue of the "IDG Bulletin" is devoted to a review of the past 20 years. The first section consists of four review articles by specialists: (1) "Demography" (F. van Poppel); (2) "Twenty Years of Physical Planning" (J. M. L. K. Kits Nieuwenkamp); (3) "Agriculture and Horticulture: The Age of Specialization" (A. van Dijk); and (4) "From Industrial Emancipation to Restructuring" (M. de Smidt). The second section, "Statistics," concerns statistics in a number of areas that occur frequently in geography education lessons: population and area, working population, agriculture and horticulture, mineral extraction and industry, foreign trade, and environment. The third section, "Brief Notes," gives information about the latest developments in and around the port of Rotterdam, the Delta Project, and the Zuiderzeeworks. It further describes the revision (1983) of the Urbanization Report, some aspects of the production of energy, and pollution of the Rhine. The bulletin concludes with an article by H. S. Verduin-Muller, chairman of the IDG board, describing activities of the IDG over the past 20 years. Appendices provide a bibliography and a sheet index to topographic maps. (LH)
