We constructed an interregional input-output system for the tourist regions of Sergipe and identified the contribution of Tourism Characteristic Activities (TCAs) to the state's economy. It is the first system built for tourist regions in Brazil that disaggregates tourism activities by sector...

Ensuring a crisis-proof food supply has become a key political issue. In Germany, official spatial planning allows the use of priority and reserved areas to secure land for agricultural use and regional food supply. The focus should be particularly on climate-resilient areas that also have a...

Güterverkehr und Logistik sind in hohem Maße raumwirksam, werden aber dennoch in der Kommunal- und Regionalplanung nur unzureichend planerisch adressiert und nicht integriert behandelt. Planerische Strategien und Instrumente sind dazu jedoch durchaus vorhanden. Eine integrierte Verkehrs- und...

Derzeit gibt es unter anderem mit dem hohen Flächenverbrauch für Logistikimmobilien sowie der drängenden Umsetzung der Verkehrswende Gründe für ein planerisches Aufgreifen der Logistik durch die Raumordnung. Eine planerische Handlungsoption ist die Sicherung von geeigneten Standorten in...

Governments face the complicated challenge of making policy decisions relating to coastal and marine ecosystems without a well-established body of knowledge about such systems. To complicate matters, the benefits that marine and coastal ecosystems deliver, which include resilience to climate...

Whereas the Europeanisation of spatial planning in the Member States is extensively researched, few studies have focused on non-Member countries. To shed some light on the matter, this contribution analyses how the European Union (EU) has influenced spatial planning organisation and practices in...

In the Baseline Assessment conducted for this project (full assessment is provided in the supplementary report), Thailand's progress in advancing marine and coastal resource management through an ecosystem-based approach is evident. Thailand's growth includes the integration of Marine Protected...

Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is a fundamental tool for the development of the Sustainable Blue Economy. It allows us to sustainably manage the use of our seas and oceans, to reduce conflicts, create synergies between human activities and ensure they take place in an efficient and safe way.

Protected areas are crucial for landscape-scale conservation, but striking a balance between centralised guidance (heteronomy) and local autonomy (self-determination) is essential. This balance is particularly important for parks that cross administrative boundaries or impose land-use...

Die Flächenneuinanspruchnahme für Siedlung und Verkehr ist deutlich vom bundespolitischen Ziel „unter 30 Hektar pro Tag“ entfernt. Zwar haben verschiedene Bundesländer das Ziel des Bundes in adaptierten Landeszielen aufgenommen. Allerdings erfolgte bisher keine Operationalisierung in Form...

This study evaluates the potential for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in Khartoum, Sudan, a rapidly urbanizing city facing critical transportation challenges. By integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (SMCA), we analyze bus terminals' spatial...

Use of Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping in tandem with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) has become increasingly common as a means of determining the optimal location and design of renewable energy projects. However, to date, no attempt has been made to synthesise the location...

Freiräume werden immer knapper. Trotz verschiedenartiger Ziele von Bund und Ländern, den sogenannten Flächenverbrauch zu reduzieren, ist nach wie vor eine hohe Intensität der Umwandlung von Freiflächen, vor allem von landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen, in Siedlungs- und Verkehrsflächen...

In the recent past, a growing number of voices within the spatial sciences have called for a departure from traditional economic considerations related to the current market and growth paradigm. Instead, they favour a post-growth economy approach. This can convey the impression that there is an...

The Alpine region faces particular challenges in implementing the international targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework and the EU Nature Restoration Law. In addition to established components of spatial planning, such as landscape protection or local recreation provision, ecological...

The integration of peri-urban areas into smart city initiatives is crucial for addressing regional inequalities and fostering inclusive urban development. In the context of India’s rapid urbanization, peri-urban regions often remain neglected despite their critical role in supporting urban...

The situation, development lines and perspectives of small and medium-sized towns in Germany and France are compared and similarities and differences within the central place systems and the spatial planning of both countries are discussed. With different approaches to definition, these towns...

Nach dem am 1. Februar 2023 in Kraft getretenen Windenergieflächenbedarfsgesetz (WindBG) müssen bis 2032 2% der Fläche Deutschlands für die Produktion von Windenergie bereitgestellt werden. Das Gesetz legt dabei Flächenbeitragswerte für die Länder fest, die in den Flächenländern...

This study focuses on safety aspects which are spatially relevant and defined in legal requirements. All other aspects, such as safety on board or occupational safety are not the subject of this study, nor is the evaluation of defined safety requirements with regard to their relevance. The...

In response to the arrival of Ukrainian migrants, this project assessed Lodz's region capacity to host them. The analysis focused on tourism facilities and social care entities, considering the needs of the local population and communication accessibility.

This paper addresses how strategic spatial planning is considering urban tourism, a phenomenon that has an increasing impact on the development of cities. A research approach interlinking urban tourism and spatial planning is conceptualised based on responsiveness theory and applied to a case...

This paper explores regional planning as an applied field of practice in Africa, where it is observed as a failed project or a flawed endeavour. In theory, regional planning (the practice) is based on regional science (the field of study) from which regional policy and regional development flow....

Citizen participation has played an increasingly relevant role in spatial planning and development aiming to shape sustainable and innovative processes since the 1970s. Nevertheless, analogue participation is associated with various problems, such as social selectivity and a loss of civic trust...

Location analytics have been a mainstay in regional science since its inception. Why? Perhaps the biggest reason is the ability to tease out important spatial heterogeneity nuances, but also to communicate geographically oriented analysis, planning, management and policy issues in rigorous ways,...
