Abstract
    A pertinent question in a country confronted with high demand from various sources forscarcely available land is how to generate the highest social value from existing space. Insuch a setting, moreover, growing environmental awareness and economic efficiency makeinland navigation an attractive option. This will inevitably translate into a greater need forwaterside industrial sites (i.e. sites with cargo transfer via inland waterways). The presentresearch paper proposes a methodology whereby government can prioritize investmentdecisions in additional waterside land and applies the approach to the situation in Flanders.Public policy is, after all, concerned with providing sufficient space for economic activitieswhile ensuring optimal spatial and functional allocation and taking adequate account of futuretrends and developments. A number of scenarios are proposed along which the future inlandnavigation market may evolve given a number of policy assumptions. The Freight ModelFlanders allows one to simulate future freight flows by mode (i.e. road, rail and inlandwaterways) and freight category. When combined with a survey-based quantitative analysis,it is possible to arrive at a prioritization between regions in respect of additional investment inthe availability of waterside land. This paper discusses with the quantitative aspects of astudy entitled “Policy for the supply of waterside industrial sites and waterside transshipmentlocations”, which was carried out at the request of the Flemish Government.
