This paper examines transformative resilience as the common challenge for urban/regional governance and planning systems in two contrasting contexts from Global North (Germany) South (Iran). The aim is to reveal pathways trade-offs through which interactions constrain or open opportunities challenges posed by urbanization migration dynamics. To proactively deal with new requirements emerging urbanization, climate change, migration, their associated on cities, narrative discussed examining...
Abstract Climate change increasingly affects human health, prosperity and the quality of life increases probability disasters, thus calling for consistent answers by local administrations. The paper presents a case study on Capacity Building through professional training in Dresden, frontrunner Germany. A minimum-standard design to output-to-outcome evaluation trainings is applied. Results show highly differentiated effect motivation factors that influence intention act can remain weak even...
Often, discussions about improving long-term Flood Risk Management (FRM) refer to spatial planning as one of the most promising policy instruments (non-structural measures), especially after flood disasters like in Dresden August 2002. However, up now, evidence is limited that used intensively and systematically for FRM, instance, reduce vulnerability flood-prone areas by controlling developments on floodplains providing development possibilities non-hazardous (Burby et al., Citation2000)....
Abstract The meaning of the word resilience varies according to social context. To enhance a dynamic understanding resilience, paper analyses its elusive character from sensemaking perspective. Resilience is understood as content processes in context crisis. Four are explored some detail using findings case study about dealing with an extreme flood event small town Germany. These four commitment expecting arguing and manipulation. Implications for planning research practice thereby revealed....
Abstract Long‐term planning in the context of Flood Risk Management (FRM) necessarily involves dealing with considerable uncertainties. In past, there have been general doubts about usefulness long‐term plans as guiding frameworks for decision makers. Since mid‐1990s, has a revival to shape future European societies and cities. This will last flood risk management only if implications uncertainty practitioners can be specified. The paper explores learning one reason consider developments...
The paper argues for a governmentality perspective on risk-management politics and resilience-related governance. This pays ample attention to conflicts discursive ‘battles’ in which different truths normative assessments, including specific rationalities, subjectivities technologies of governing compete against. Up now, the literature resilience has mainly been based empirical research UK. highlights growing importance neoliberal forms governing, shift strategies towards activating...
Abstract. Networks and networking are important for building social capacities natural hazards. However, up to now, it has been an open question which types of networks contribute capacity under certain circumstances. The paper focuses on the type a goal-oriented network. distinction between goal orientation directedness is used show following: build hazards involves intensive continuous processes "sensemaking" (Weick, 1995) specify network goal. This process specifying initial statement in...
Strategic flood risk management of river catchments involves significant increases in the complexity both contents (e.g. aims and measures) a given strategy also its social, spatial, temporal scales. Conceptually, research to date has underestimated importance time temporality. This paper, which is based on 'historical Institutionalism,' introduces lens focus strategic management; it highlights issues duration timing as well tempo change with respect implementation measures reduce at...
<qi:p>Kommunale Verwaltungen spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Klimaanpassung. Diese bleibt aber bis heute oft unterpriorisierte Aufgabe. Um dennoch substanzielle Anpassung zu leisten, müssen administrative Kapazitäten gezielt weiterentwickelt werden. Neben spezifischem Maßnahmen- und Prozesswissen gehören dazu auch zahlreiche weitere Faktoren, die Handlungsfähigkeit -motivation Beschäftigten beeinflussen. Am Beispiel eines Weiterbildungskonzepts Stadt Dresden wird gezeigt, welche...
Citizen Science Projects (CSP) are emerging as innovative approaches to urban research and practice. This paper reports on the data-driven CSP 'Colouring Dresden' in Germany through lens of Critical Data Studies (CDS). CDS-scholars urge CSP-partners be aware 'political nature' their projects. However, this claim requires some conceptual specification. In case Dresden', adopts a micro-oriented approach that emphasizes two key areas reflection: 1) situating institutionalized politics Dresden...
Research organizations in the spatial sciences face a demanding and changing context, characterized by multiple tensions significant uncertainty. Increasingly, researchers are also asked to provide policy advice through method-driven processes, rather than ad hoc. In this paper focuses on specific tension: strategic planning developing policy-oriented projects. Until now, little is known about how non-university research deal with tension as regards providing sciences. Therefore, analyzes...
