To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:
Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.
By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.
IMPLEMENTING CIRCULARITY IN URBAN REGION OF AMSTERDAM - THE OFFER OF OPEN INNOVATION FOR ‘PROGRAMME BRIDGES AND QUAY WALLS’ USING INDUSTRIAL & MODULAR BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION AS A CASE
Oral presentationCircularity in Urban Regions01:30 PM - 03:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2022/02/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/02/18 14:00:00 UTC
Urban regions face multiple societal challenges. Public organizations aim to face these challenges and create societal value. This may be achieved through open innovation. Stimulating circular economy is, amongst others, one of the policy goals associated with societal value. Yet, organizational capabilities are of key importance when implementing innovations for circular economy. These capabilities may be improved by leveraging open innovation practices. When we take the implementation of Industrial & Modular construction practices (IFD: Industrieel, Flexibel en Demontabel bouwen) as case to illustrate this, it seems that implementing circularity requires alignment in activities of actors at strategic, tactical and operational organizational-levels. IFD is an example of an open innovation process to deliver technical standards for uniform circular bridge design. In this case, contractors, suppliers, engineering companies and public organizations collaborate to absorb knowledge about IFD, adopt the innovation in pilots and adapt to more structural organization-capabilities for implementation on a larger scale. In this article, we give narrated reflections on the implementation of IFD and the programme Bridges and Quay walls in Amsterdam. We develop an analytical framework based on relevant academic literature to investigate organizational capabilities related to the innovation within public agencies. We use the framework as a guide to analyze the offer of open innovation to the programme, using IFD as a case. We discuss implications for future empirical research, drawing from action-research on implemented innovations in project practice.
Nomad MAnagement of Urban Development: The value of temporary communities
01:30 PM - 03:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2022/02/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/02/18 14:00:00 UTC
The research “NOMAD - Nomad MAnagement of Urban Development: The value of temporary communities” intends to explore the effects of temporary uses and the role of urban nomads in urban regeneration. Urban nomads are users who inhabit vacant spaces for a short period of time and eventually have to change residences. In virtuous cases, temporary use contributes to lengthening the use-cycle of real estate in a circular way, improves street safety and the neighbourhood atmosphere, produces intangible values, and can also lead to increased housing prices. But although temporary communities can be seen as spontaneously sustainable practices and generate urban values, yet the values produced do not seem evident. NOMAD aims to identify and enhance the processes of community-oriented temporary uses. This contribution presents the hybrid methodology proposed to estimate the impacts of such experiences. Qualitative data (audio, video, images) and quantitative data (statistic data, real estate values) of the case studies will be spatialised and analysed. Based hereupon, multi-criteria and multi-group evaluations of the temporary uses will allow interpreting the value of temporary communities for urban regeneration, considering both narrative and statistic data. Mapping and a catalogue of nomadic practices and opportunities for temporary management alternatives are the outputs. These will support the second stage co-design of temporary business models. With the interdisciplinary methodology and the outputs, we aim to constitute a decision-support system for urban stakeholders to temporarily reactivate unused spaces with a collaborative approach.

Circular Urban Metabolism for the Netherlands - Identifying locations of future circular regions
Oral presentationCircularity in Urban Regions01:30 PM - 03:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2022/02/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/02/18 14:00:00 UTC
In recent years, implementing a circular economy at the regional scale has been proposed by policy makers as a potential solution for achieving sustainability. In order to understand circularity of regions, a greater understanding is needed for the location of secondary resource flows. Currently, the field of urban metabolism studies the flow of resources at the regional scale. Researchers in this field (mostly consisting of industrial ecologists) have developed sophisticated methods of estimating material flows at the city and regional scale. However, currently urban metabolism studies lack a spatial perspective. While current methods give us insight to quantities of materials, less attention is given to the spatial attributes of material flows, such as level of spatial clustering and locations of hotspots. This presentation will show our recent work - identifying spatial clustering and hotspots of secondary resource reuse in the Netherlands, using spatial statistics methods. We hope that the statistical methods used in this research can be applied to future urban metabolism studies, allowing for a deeper understanding of the spatial aspects of material flows, and bridging the gap between urban metabolism and urban planning.
