Sustainizability model, network analysis and applications Part I: The model
Tussenheid Hilvarenbeek
This guide sets out the basics of the sustainzability model, that has emerged in the North Brabant region of the Netherlands in the ‘50s. Until the fifties the Kempen region (the southern part of the province of North Brabant and the northern part of the Flemish provinces of Antwerp and Limburg) was a relatively poor region with a history and regional identity of mainly hardworking small farmers. They had to be self-reliant, but the awareness of the great importance of support from and to the people in the area certainly had a major impact on social relations and the way in which ideas were created and developed. This cultural orientation certainly contributed to the emergence of all kinds of cooperatives. A key example of this was the arise of the cooperative Boerenleenbanken (Raiffeisenbank), and more recently the impressive industrial development (Brainport) in which cooperation proved to be the success factor.
