二、自然地理（地理环境、自然资源，交通情况）
1.1 The geographical and demographic situation
The region of Twente, in of the Province of Overijssel, is located on the eastern border with Germany and is part of the Euregio, a transregional cooperation between bordering areas in Germany and the Netherlands. The size of Twente is 143,000 hectare; there are about 600,000 inhabitants, who live in 14 municipalities; half of them live in one of the three cities Enschede, Hengelo or Almelo. These three cities have a function towards the neighbouring towns for medical care, industrial estates and (large) companies.
Twente is located on the axis that runs from Amsterdam via Berlin to Moscow. It is 150 km from Amsterdam and 500 km from Berlin. This corridor consists of e.g. the motorway A1 (E 30) that in Twente intersects with the A35 (and connects the north-west of Twente with the south-east) and connects Twente with Zwolle (the capital of the Province) and Germany. There is an international intercity connection by train from Amsterdam to Berlin that stops in Hengelo and direct connections to the European rail nets (Netherlands: Thalys, Germany: ICE, France: TGV).
Twente has an airport (Airport Twente); originally a military airbase and now also used as a civilian airport (charters for holidaymakers and air taxis). The military part of the airport is to be closed down in the next couple of years. Via water, Twente can be reached by the Twente Kanaal (Twente Canal), which is connected with the seaport of Rotterdam. The Twente Canal is used for commercial freight 02 transport as well as for recreational purposes and runs from Zutphen via Hengelo to Enschede. At Goor it branches to Almelo.

三、经济发展和规模
Hof van Twente is situated in the heart of the province Overijssel: south-west of Almelo, north-east of the Achterhoek region (Prov. Gelderland) and south-east of Rijssen-Holten. The small cities of Goor and Delden have some important industry (cement, metallics, plastics). Goor has a small harbour along the Twente Canal (Zutphen - Enschede). Permess International is one of the world's leading producers of high quality interlinings offering a complete range of products for the textile and allied industries. The motorway A35 has a junction between Delden and Hengelo (distance to both towns 2 km). Agriculture and tourism (see below) are of economic importance as well.

1.2.3 Towards a more diversified economic base
Due to the tendency of diversification the sector structure of Twente has become more balanced over the last decades. This can be concluded from the recent development of the regional ‘concentration index’ (i.e. a sectoral index in which a higher level indicates a higher concentration of firms, employment and value added in only a few sectors): twelve years ago in Twente this index amounted to 39.6% (Dutch average: 37.0%), but now it is 36.7%, which is close to the national average of 36.5%. Nevertheless, the sectoral shares in employment show some significant differences between Twente and the Netherlands. Although the share of people working in manufacturing and building declined over the period 1996-2004, the region still employs many people in the secondary sector (26.3% versus 18.1% in the rest of the Netherlands). The reverse can be seen in the primary sector:
only a few people from Twente work in agriculture (0.8% versus 1.4%). Despite its recent rise, the employment share in the tertiary sector has not reached the overall Dutch level yet. With a share of 72.9% service workers, Twente has 7.6% less service jobs than the Dutch average of 80.5%. From a national perspective, only the number of jobs in Twente’s public health services like hospitals, homes for the elderly and specialized medical services (e.g. heart centre), is relatively high. All in all, the long industrial legacy of Twente is important to the present day.
The sectoral dynamics of Twente’s economy is rather ambivalent. Thanks to leading knowledgeintensive and export sectors (electronics, metal, machine-building and fibres) and leading knowledge institutes, the regional innovation potential is high. At the same time, the actual regional innovative performance lags behind this large potential.
The level of R&D expenditures is 2.1% of Twente’s gross regional product, which is more than the 1.6% nation-wide. In addition, the number of patent applications is higher than in the rest of the country.
This innovative potential, however, does not lead to a similar high level of regional innovation; to be sure, Twente develops slightly more product innovations than other Dutch regions, but far less process innovations. The rate of new business formation in Twente over the last five years has been 0.1% higher than in the Netherlands, but not in innovative sectors, where start-ups are 0.1% lower than the Dutch average.
Most firms are local SMEs; only 0.41% of all firms are large companies (Dutch average: 0.43%)
and only 0.49% of the business comes from abroad (national figure: 0.67%).
The problem of Twente’s innovation paradox of high potential combined with low performance could be that a relatively large share of regional R&D is carried out by only a few actors. The majority of the patent applications, for example, come from a small group of knowledge-intensive firms around the UT. By finding new ways to exploit the knowledge-potential, the economic growth of Twente can be continued.

五、风景名胜，景点
Bentelo village
All through the Hof van Twente ("Garden of Twente") it is possible to wander around on foot or bicycle. The municipality has many small woods, old water mills, beautiful country houses and small castles with their parks and small lanes winding themselves through the countryside. Therefore, many tourists visit this rural area. They stay in small hotels, holiday resorts, on camping sites and even at farms.
The Twickel castle near Delden can only be observed from the outside, but the major part of its parks and woods ( 60 square km) are freely accessible.

Castle Warmelo near Diepenheim, that was built in 1315, and was afterwards devastated and rebuilt several times, is in private use as well. Princess Armgard, the mother of Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, who was Queen Juliana's husband, lived there until her death in 1971. Its famous gardens are open to the public every summer.

The village is a centre for intensive cattle farming.
Bentelo has the biggest vineyard in the Netherlands, as well as several Asparagus growers, three bars and restaurants.
六、历史文化
Goor (Dutch for: low, swampy land) achieved city rights in 1263. An important city, however, it never became. The "Drost" ( a kind of mayor) of the Twente region, who ruled this area in behalf of the bishop of Utrecht, had in the late Middle Ages his residence in Goor. In its surroundings some castles were built, among them the house of the important Heeckeren family in 1412. Goor had a small harbour along the river Regge ( which flows to the Vecht near Ommen), but when the Twente canal was opened in 1936, a new industrial port was built there. The factory Eternit, that produces building materials containing asbestos, brought Goor unwillingly into trouble. For decades, everyone in Goor was permitted to use production refuse containing asbestos in order to pave their own paths and roads. Not earlier than about 1990, it was known in Goor that especially small particles of this material can cause cancer. In major parts of the city the soil has to be removed and either cleaned or replaced by non-polluted material.
Delden achieved its city rights in 1333. Its circle-shaped centre was surrounded by earthen walls. It came into existence thanks to the Twickel castle, situated less than one mile north of delden. This castle, that in its present form dates from the 17th century, is still inhabited by a German noble family ( Zu Castell - Rüdenhausen). In 1886, near this castle salt was discovered under the ground. This led to the exploration of this material, still going on in the nearby city of Hengelo.
In Markelo, prehistoric mounds "tumuli", containing graves have been excavated.
