Neue Energielandschaften – Neue Perspektiven der Landschaftsforschung
Der Wandel der Energiewirtschaft hin zu mehr Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien spielt sich in physisch-materieller Hinsicht in Landschaften ab. Er wird von Praktikern der Raum- und Landschaftsplanung teils mit Skepsis und teils mit positiven Erwartungen begleitet. In dem Band wird den Fragen nachgegangen, welche Folgen die Energiewende auf die ästhetische Bewertung von Landschaften hat, welche neuen Akteurskonstellationen entstanden sind und welche Konflikte um das Landschaftsbild, die Landnutzung oder die Verteilung von Macht zu verzeichnen sind. Es werden die Konsequenzen der Umbrüche hin zu „neuen Energielandschaften“ für die Landschaftsforschung, aber auch für räumliche Planung und Governance thematisiert.
Cross-border Governance and Sustainable Spatial Development
Border regions in Central Europe undergo tremendous changes due to the enlargement of the European Union and the related processes of Europeanization, bordering and re-bordering. The book explores the consequences of these processes for cross-border governance and spatial planning in Central Europe. It combines analyses of European and national framework conditions with case studies from border regions and cities in 8 countries. The focus is on generic questions of cross-border planning and cooperation as well as on selected sectors such as nature conservation, transport and economic development. The book is written for the international scientific community and for practitioners in the fields of spatial planning, cross-border cooperation, environmental protection and structural policy.
Landscapes for Future – Landschaften und sozial-ökologische Transformationen
Weltweite Krisenphänomene wie der Klimawandel, der rapide Schwund von Tier- und Pflanzenarten sowie der Verlust wertvoller Böden verdeutlichen, dass sozial-ökologische Transformationen nötig sind – insbesondere in wohlhabenden Staaten wie Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Bei diesen tiefgreifenden Veränderungen können Landschaften eine wichtige Rolle spielen, weil sie sowohl Grundlage als auch Ergebnis unserer Wirtschafts- und Lebensweise sind. Dieses Buch gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die Zusammenhänge zwischen Landschaftsdenken und sozial-ökologischem Wandel und beantwortet Fragen wie: Welche Vorstellungen von einem transformativen Landschaftswandel gibt es? Wie...
Wie werden Landschaften gemacht?
Wie wir mit den Landschaften umgehen, in denen wir leben, hängt entscheidend davon ab, wie darüber kommuniziert wird und welche Bilder und Vorstellungen davon zirkulieren. In diesem Band werden alltagsweltliche Landschaftskonstruktionen ebenso beleuchtet wie planerische Landschaftsverständnisse, Landschaftskonzepte in Windenergiediskursen und kulturlandschaftliche Handlungsräume. Die Beiträge verknüpfen soziologische und politikwissenschaftliche Zugänge mit reichhaltigen empirischen Befunden, wodurch der Band für Sozialgeographen, Planungswissenschaftler und Praktiker gleichermaßen interessant ist.
German Annual of Spatial Research and Policy 2009
Preface – Introduction 1 Heiderose Kilper “New Disparities in Spatial Development in Europe” – several topics are included in both the title and theme of the German Annual of Spatial Research and Policy for the Year 2009. We are frst of all concerned with the concept of spatial disparities, which has its roots in national spatial planning and spatial development policy. Regional development as interregional equalisation policy, for example, is well-anchored in the German constitution through fundamental legal standards and the division of powers among the respective federal states. The “establishment of uniform living conditions within the federal territory” and “securing the u...
All change please! - challenges and opportunities of the energy transition
The annual meeting of the ARLs Junges Forum forum for young professionals on 6-8 October 2016 in Leipzig addressed various aspects of the energy transition-when, where, how and why? In presentations and discussion groups, they considered not only technical, legal and planning aspects related to infrastructure expansion and the management and structuring of the energy transition, but also its significance for spatial development. The focus of the annual meeting was selected in view of the current importance of the issue. The transition is a process intended to ensure a safe, environmentally friendly and economically successful future and as such involves a broad spectrum of social, planning a...
Growth Management in the US
Urban sprawl is one of the key planning issues facing many US cities, leading to the creation and adoption of a variety of approaches to control growth. However, many growth management ideas do not align well with the growth-promoting planning traditions of the US, which historically have been dominated by the concerns of the market, the landowner and the developer. Illustrated by a study of the San Francisco Bay Area, this book puts forward an innovative theoretical approach to growth management, analyzing it as a tool for controlling land use expansion in the US. This region makes a particularly useful study as it has encountered long term growth pressures, complex land use demands and the...
Legitimacy in European Nature Conservation Policy
Building forth upon recent developments in democracy theory that have identified multiple forms of legitimacy, this volume observes a EU-wide shift from output legitimacy to input and throughput legitimacy. Nine case studies are presented, followed by extensive comments. The volume successfully integrates knowledge on a major piece of European policy in a reflexive and comprehensive manner, and combines theories of governance with theories of legitimacy.
Orchestrating Local Climate Policy in the European Union
Can we sidestep tedious climate policy negotiations and forge a coalition of the willing instead? Many international organizations and scholars hope to spur local climate action by orchestration, indirect and voluntary governance arrangements. Lena Bendlin looks beyond the apparent success of voluntary initiatives using the example of the Covenant of Mayors, often heralded as an exemplary multi-level EU initiative. Five in-depth case studies show why, how, and with what difficulties local governments engage in this voluntary commitment scheme. The analysis identifies durability, intensity, and causality as crucial building blocks for more cautious orchestration theorizing and derives recommendations for appropriate incentives and support at the regional, national, and international level.
Alternating Current – Social Innovation in Community Energy
Community energy projects give their own answers to the challenges of energy system change: They are social innovations. By building new relations between local economies, communities and technical infrastructures, these projects not only change the energy system but also respective power structures. Drawing on case studies from Germany, Denmark and Scotland, this book shows the importance of community ties, and shared symbols for successful processes of transformation and develops recommendations for policy decision-makers.
