- Abstract in English : In the Netherlands, there is a growing tendency to take lay people’s opinions into account when making plans for historic environments. This is partly based on a decentralisation tendency in Dutch planning processes, but also on a growing resistance from inhabitants against what they consider as official arbitrariness. More and more, planning is based not only on expert opinions but also on the opinion of lay people, such as such as inhabitants and user groups as well. Directly Historic value is one of the eight fundamental qualities in environmental perception identified in Dutch research (Coeterier, 1996).
