The Future of Cities and Energies in Western Europe
The Future of Cities and Energies in Western Europe explores a variety of theoretical and empirical approaches to researching energy issues in Western European cities, as well as urban energy transition. It serves as a collection of materials, instruments, ideas, and theories to embrace this subject. The contributions are interdisciplinary, drawing from areas such as sociology, urbanism, geoecology, architecture, and political science, thus demonstrating that this research topic, which is now gaining full legitimacy in traditional fields, requires open and reflexive dialogues.
Climate Adaptation Santiago
This book addresses the complexity of urbanization, impacts of climate change and climate change adaptation for the metropolitan region of Santiago de Chile, with a special focus on the most pressing issues of natural hazards, water and energy supply. The book exemplifies a conceptual approach for the development of adaptation measures, their evaluation and implementation in a decision support framework at the science-policy interface. It builds on scientific analyses of social and natural scientists, a participatory process with local authorities and a mutual learning network between large agglomerations in Latin America. The book is written for scholars of urban management, climate change, planning, governance and hazard research, as well as practitioners in local, regional and international organizations concerned with climate change, climate change impacts, and adaptation in metropolitan regions. While the regional focus is on Latin America the concepts and lessons learned are applicable and relevant to megacities around the world.
Sustainability Assessments of Urban Systems
Provides guidelines for assessing the sustainability of urban systems including theory, methods and case studies.
Risk Habitat Megacity
Megacity development and the inherent risks and opportunities for humans and the environment is a theme of growing urgency in the 21st century. Focusing on Latin America where urbanization is most advanced, this book studies the complexity of a ‘mega-urban system’ and explores interrelations between sectors and issues by providing an in-depths study of one particular city, Santiago de Chile. The book attempts to (i) focus on the emergence of risk in megacities by analyzing risk elements, (ii) evaluate the extent and severity of risks, (iii) develop strategies to cope with adverse risks, and (iv) to guide urban development by combining concepts with empirical evidence. Drawing on the work of an interdisciplinary and international consortium of academic and professional partners, the book is written for scholars in cross-cutting areas of urban, sustainability, hazard, governance and planning research as well as practitioners from local, regional and international organizations.
Innovations for sustainable biomass utilisation in the Upper Rhine Region
This book provides insight into the project 'OUI Biomasse' by summarising selected results. The major goal was the development of a knowledge-based sustainable biomass strategy for the transition of the energy system of the Upper Rhine Region. The 'OUI Biomasse' network studied all aspects of the biomass value chain to come up with development scenarios, analyse their potential impact in terms of sustainability criteria and to draft guidelines for the sustainable use of biomass.
Concepts franco-allemands pour atteindre les objectifs environnementaux de l'UE

Soft Business Process Management
Die Beurteilung von Kreditantragen durch eine Bank, die Prufung von Schadenfallen bei einer Versicherungsgesellschaft oder die Machbarkeitsanalyse fur eine Auftragsfertigung in einem Industrieunternehmen sind Beispiele fur Geschaftsprozesse, die von wissensbasierten Entscheidungen gepragt sind. Hierbei sind menschliche Bearbeiter oftmals gefordert, Sachverhalte aus verschiedenen Perspektiven abwagend zu beurteilen. Die allgegenwartige Unterstutzung von Geschaftsprozessen durch Informationssysteme leidet in solchen Prozesstypen unter der eingeschrankten Fahigkeit heutiger Methoden der Konzeption und Umsetzung von Anwendungssystemen, Unscharfe und Vagheit zu berucksichtigen. Die meist mehrschi...
