摘要

This chapter broadens the scope by bringing the Bangladesh experience together with briefly described experiences in the Netherlands and Vietnam. International experience offers inspiration and show sometimes experiences in uncharted waters. This kind of experiences utilizes earlier thinking and acting and stimulates creative thinking for other situations rather than replication there. Bangladesh was highly interested in adaptive delta management ideas and experiences but asserted from the start that it wanted to develop its own Delta Plan, fitting in the Bangladeshi setting, context and also administrative culture as well as development position and challenges. Hence the focus on adaptation by development. There exist indeed of course important differences like in constitutional law, structure of the state and socio-political, economic and cultural characteristics. The adaptation and transformation aspects as elaborated in relation to the in Chap. 2 identified sensitizing concepts enrich the initial model with the field experiences. Based on these experiences, the adaptation process has been divided into a sequence of practices with characteristic activities. It is considered, that these practices offer a performative repertoire which can be addressed in every adaptation situation. However, not all will necessarily be as comprehensive as shown in the Bangladesh experience in this complicated delta. In different situations, choices can be made based on diagnostic search and identification of scope and challenges to be addressed. Moreover, the tracking of strategies will show if and how the existing strategic planning tradition and knowledge bases can sufficiently contribute in a certain situation to the needs for adaptation and the necessary practices, in line with the required or preferred time frame.
