Dr. Ir. Luc Boerboom joined ITC in 1999. He holds an MSc degree in Tropical Land and Water Management (1992) from Wageningen University in the Netherlands, specializing in soil and water conservation modeling. He worked a year (1993) as a research assistant with the International Service for National Agricultural Research (ISNAR), which was one of the Centers of the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). There he worked in a program looking at the implication of environmental concerns due to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992 for national agricultural research in developing countries. He holds a Ph.D. in agronomy from the University of Georgia in the USA (1999), where he was a research assistant in the USAID-funded SANREM - CRSP (Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management - Collaborative Research Support Program) project. He developed a mathematical programming model to develop scenarios for spatial optimality of multiple farms against watershed optimality regarding soil erosion, using methods from quantitative anthropology to distinguish groups of decision-makers in a "tragedy of the commons".
He has over 30 years of theoretical and practical experience in decision sciences, multi-criteria decision-making, spatial planning and decision support systems, information systems, and software development. Fields of application have been in regional urban planning, regional agricultural planning, integrated watershed management, climate change and forest management, urban and transport planning and decision-making, disaster management, and terrorism threat evaluation. Since 2009 he has studied the institutionalization of spatial planning and decision support systems and web-based spatial decision support systems in spatial planning and decision-making practice.
Luc is an assistant professor in Spatial Planning and Decision Support Systems and Institutionalization, in the Department of Urban Regional Planning and Geo-information Management. He was a member of the departmental management team holding the portfolio research from September 2004 until July 2007.
