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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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,...

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...

Based on the multiple definitions and cultural interpretations of smart cities, this study systematically compiled the components, standards, and development modes of smart cities in various regions of the world and proposed a new integration of smart city dimensions and operational framework...

Place attachment, usually referring to the emotional relationships between people and places, has been studied intensely by environmental psychologists and humanistic geographers for decades. Its influence on landscape planning and development has recently gained increasing attention. Place...

The evolution of rural settlement planning has the potential to improve regional sustainability through aligning components of human settlement ecosystems. In this study, we promoted the integration of sustainability in 23 rural communes of Rehamna province (central Morocco). We assessed rural...

Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is a fundamental tool for a 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.

Resilient land use planning integrates multiple perspectives, including exposure to natural hazards and associated vulnerabilities and risks, to ensure that development can cope with disruptions and recover swiftly from disaster events. Resilient land use planning aims to accommodate multiple...

This report uses administrative tax data on firm-to-firm trade in Honduras to evaluate the degree of integration between firms receiving export-oriented tax exemptions and the local economy. We present five stylized facts regarding firms' trade networks in Honduras and show that, across several...

Nordostdeutschland ist einer der räumlichen "Hotspots" der deutschen Energiewende für die Windkraft an Land wie auch für andere Anlagen erneuerbarer Stromproduktion. In Brandenburg und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern wurden dazu in den letzten Jahren vielfältige Erfahrungen gesammelt und...

The notion of smart and sustainable cities offers an integrated and holistic approach to urbanism by aiming to achieve the long-term goals of urban sustainability and resilience. In essence, a smart and sustainable city is an urban locality that functions as a robust system of systems with...

In NRW haben sowohl die Regionalplanung als auch integrierte Ansätze der Regionalentwicklung, wie z.B. die REGIONALE NRW, eine lange Tradition. Das bisherige Nebeneinander soll im Sinne eines besseren Zusammenwirkens von Regionalplanung und Regionalentwicklung mit dem Ziel eines "guten...

La situation, les orientations de développement et les perspectives des villes petites et moyennes en Allemagne et en France sont comparées et les similitudes et différences au sein des systèmes de places centrales et de l'aménagement du territoire des deux pays sont discutées. Avec des...
