Sustainable Land Management in a European Context
This open access book presents and discusses current issues and innovative solution approaches for land management in a European context. Manifold sustainability issues are closely interconnected with land use practices. Throughout the world, we face increasing conflict over the use of land as well as competition for land. Drawing on experience in sustainable land management gained from seven years of the FONA programme (Research for Sustainable Development, conducted under the auspices of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research), the book stresses and highlights co-design processes within the “co-creation of knowledge”, involving collaboration in transdisciplinary research...
Environmental Argument and Cultural Difference

Doing care and doing economy
A book on the need to do economy in a caring way in the global crisis. In this situation, doing care and doing economy are mutually dependent.

Eco-Social Transformation and Community-Based Economy
Worldwide societal problems such as mass unemployment, growing social disparities, public and private poverty, social exclusion, environmental destruction and the evidence of climate change are increasing and becoming ever more visible. They require urgent and sustainable long-term solutions. Eco-Social Transformation and Community-Based Economy provides a transdisciplinary conception of community based socially productive approaches to eco-social transformation and sustainability. It introduces interdisciplinary discourses, basic theoretical concepts, participatory and community-based research, development strategies and practical prospects and considers them in the context of both eco-social transformation and eco-social work, especially with disadvantaged groups. With case studies that demonstrate the creative power of local embeddedness, diversity and cooperation, this book presents integrative local approaches as convincing examples of possible ways forward. It will be of interest to all scholars, students and activists working in community development, social development, social work and human geography.

StadtLandschaften
Das Buch befasst sich aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive mit dem Entstehen und der Entwicklung von StadtLandschaften. Diese StadtLandschaften lassen sich als Teil gesellschaftlicher Hybridisierungsprozesse deuten. Diese lassen sich nicht oder nur noch unzureichend mit modernistischen Konzepten dichotomen Denkens beschreiben. In dem Buch werden von den unterschiedlichen Autoren neben sozialen und ökologischen auch planerische und (infra)strukturelle Aspekte der Thematik angesprochen.
Leben in Dörfern
Die Frage nach der „Zukunft ländlicher Räume“ erfährt angesichts tief greifender sozialer, ökonomischer und raumstruktureller Veränderungsprozesse zunehmend Bedeutung. Das vorliegende Buch greift diese Frage auf und fokussiert Möglichkeiten einer vermittlungstheoretischen, sozial-ökologischen Konzeptualisierung von Raum. Den Kern der Arbeit bildet eine empirische Dorfstudie. Vor dem Hintergrund eines immer stärker in Auflösung begriffenen Gegensatzverhältnisses von Stadt und Land in der tradierten räumlichen Funktionstrennung und Komplementarität wird deutlich, dass insbesondere hybride Räume Potenziale aufweisen und umgekehrt: die Eigeninitiative und Gestaltungsmacht der Akteurinnen findet in solchen Räumen Ausdruck und wird gestärkt.
