Airbnb is een sociaal online platform. Het platform verbindt volgens Airbnb, accommodaties van ‘echte’ locals met toeristen die opzoek zijn naar authentieke lokale belevenissen. Naar de effecten van AirBnB op grote steden zoals Amsterdam is onderzoek gedaan, maar het is niet duidelijk of Airbnb dezelfde effecten heeft op toeristische kustbestemmingen. Kenniscentrum Kusttoerisme en Hotelschool The Hague onderzochten daarom de huurder en verhuurder, de impact op de toeristische sector en economie, de spreiding van toeristen in accommodaties en wat Airbnb betekent voor het beleid van lokale en regionale overheden. Download het rapport om de resultaten van het onderzoek te bekijken.
NB: Sinds juli 2019 beschikt Kenniscentrum Kusttoerisme over nieuwe data van Airbnb. Deze data zal loop 2019 geanalyseerd en gepubliceerd worden. +
In the Airtub project Dutch universities and manufacturers jointly develop an innovative system for remote inspection and maintenance of wind turbines at sea. The HZ University of Applied Sciences is responsible for the development of an inspection crawler.
The crawler is a robot for examining turbine blades with all kinds of sensors. It is dropped by a drone, can move remote controlled over the turbine blades and will be picked up by a drone again!
We are looking for enthusiastic students to join the Airtub Design team. Please read the testimonials of two teams who made valuable contribution to the project.
“Our research mainly focuses on improving the accuracy of the crawler navigation and location system. Be sure the maintenance engineers need to know the exact position of the crawler and the defects on the blade. More effective indoor usage is also taken into our account for testing and training purposes.
We aim and we will manage to get a 5cm location accuracy with our GPS system and other auxiliary location systems. The final product can show the longitude and latitude of crawler, velocity, moving direction and also moving distance. So every defect spot on the blade will be localized by our system!”
Jiacong Li of Team 2.1
“The topic of our group is to make sure the crawler will not drop off the blade during inspection. And that is a challenge! In heavy winds on strong bended turbine blades the crawler must stick itself to the surface. So we design a strong suction system.
First we analyzed the relationship between adhesive suction strength, energy consumption, the shaping of the suction nozzle and surface texture. For this we developed a mathematical model in Excel for optimizing the design of the suction device. Now we are designing a high suction – low energy suction nozzle which will be 3D printed and tested by us and then compared with the theoretical model.”

The lectureship Aquaculture in Delta Areas supports entrepreneurs in the aquaculture sector by investigating their knowledge questions in a practice-oriented manner.
The demand for seafood is rising worldwide. More and more people eat fish and seafood because it is healthy and tasty. However, the supply of fish, shellfish and crustaceans from wild catches is stagnating. In order to meet the growing demand for seafood, more controlled production is required: aquaculture.
Zeeland has a long tradition of saline aquaculture. The province is located in a delta area and the salt water is close by . It is therefore a perfect location for the sustainable cultivation of fish, shellfish and crustaceans. Zeeland entrepreneurs are leading the way in growing algae, weeds, worms, lobster and fish.
Yet aquaculture is in its infancy compared to agriculture. Aquaculture entrepreneurs have many knowledge questions and challenges in terms of innovations. These include, for example, how to optimize their products, which new species to grow, and which techniques are best.
The research group Aquaculture in Delta Areas supports the entrepreneurs with research into these kinds of questions. They often do this in collaboration with other knowledge institutions and consultancies. The researchers and students also work together with people from professional practice. The research often takes place in the field or in the SEA Lab at the HZ in Vlissingen. The research group also provides training and courses on aquaculture. +
De laatste jaren worden we steeds meer geconfronteerd met de gevolgen van klimaatverandering. Er is een spanningsveld tussen de noden van de samenleving en de veerkracht van het watersysteem. Dit resulteert in problemen als waterkwaliteit, wateroverlast en schaarste. Ook binnen de Scheldemondregio komt dit spanningsveld steeds nadrukkelijker tot uiting.
Het doel van Aquatuur is om de klimaatrobuustheid te vergroten, door zoetwaterbeschikbaarheid te verhogen via natuurgebaseerde groenblauwe oplossingen (NGBO’s) in de Scheldemondregio. +
