Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Municipalities, provinces and regional water authority
Municipalities, provinces and regional water authorities all fall under the central government and can be regarded as different governmental layers. Each governmental layer has specific tasks that are assigned by the central government. First of all, the organizational structure of a municipality entails a mayor, aldermen and a municipal council. The municipality is a governmental layer that is closest to the people. Therefore, the mayor of a municipality is responsible for keeping public order and safety. Provinces can be regarded as a governmental layer above the municipalities. Organizationally, provinces exist of a provincial executive and provincial council, chaired by a King’s commissioner. Provinces are responsible for managing public transport, nature, maintenance of public infrastructures and spatial planning within a specific area. The Netherlands has twelve provinces that work together in the Association of Provincial Authorities, also known as IPO. Lastly, regional water authorities are public authorities that are responsible to manage water related issues and problems in a specific area, such as the management of natural water systems, flood management and maintenance of dikes and dams.
