As the negative consequences of climate change are being felt more widely, research and practice have increasingly focused on municipal scale to better understand address adaptation gap. The literature recognizes that is supported by provision services, lack which can negatively affect literacy constrain planning implementation. However, efficacy services rarely evaluated, especially in relation needs practitioners. Using example German state Baden-Württemberg, we survey show it unevenly...

Background: Tickborne-encephalitis (TBE) is a potentially life-threating neurological disease that mainly transmitted by ticks. The goal of the present study to analyze potential uniform environmental patterns identified TBEV microfoci in Germany. results are used calculate probabilities for distribution Germany based on geostatistical model. Methods: We aim consider specification characteristics locations detected using open access epidemiological, geographical and climatological data...

Climate vulnerability assessments are an important prerequisite for establishing successful climate adaptation strategies. Despite a growing number of on the national or global scale, there is still need regionalized studies with high resolution to identify meso-scale patterns. In this paper, we present indicator-based assessment that was carried out in Trinational Metropolitan Region Upper Rhine within Interreg-V project Clim’Ability. The analyzed region characterized by strong cross-border...

Municipalities are often challenged in adapting to climate change impacts, with knowledge gaps regarding risks being an important constraint hindering the development and implementation of adaption strategies. Although at municipal level, highly context specific, recurring patterns hazard, exposure vulnerability can be identified. While indicator-driven risk assessments widely used, they tend apply a singular explanatory model instead addressing heterogeneity cases thus neglect similarities...

Active school travel has been associated with a wide range of psychological and physiological benefits. However, many parents (particularly those primary children) are concerned about their children's safety due to traffic urban infrastructure. In this research, we collected information the geographical routes, transportation mode, accompaniment status children German school. Children also rated overall entire route. Our findings underline that even can actively (about two-thirds in our...

Parking fees and fines represent contested issues in cities, as they conflict with vehicle owners' opinion over 'rights' to public space. As cities have moved regulate density by introducing parking fees, a share of drivers may feel compelled 'cheat', weighing the price against cost fines, or simply park illegally outside designated areas. To better understand these interrelationships, this paper considers negotiations space an economic gamble that can be assessed on basis violations. The...

Information on individual hazard perception while cycling and the associated feeling of safety are key aspects to foster sustainable urban mobility. Although cyclist’s perceptions must also be critically reviewed, such crowdsourced Volunteered Geographic (VGI) provides wide-ranging insights diverse categories in cycling. In this case study city Freiburg, Germany, perceptions, information about lane types, underlying routes were via an open source smartphone application by a small group with...

The Trinational Metropolitan Region Upper Rhine (TMO 3 ) is a polycentric and highly urbanized region in Central Europe. impacts of climate change onto the regional enterprises are complex differ sectorwise according to geographical factors. In this paper, we take differentiated look at adaptation efforts nine region’s most affected sectors: agriculture, forestry & wood processing, food beverage industries, water supply, logistics, winter tourism, manufacturing industries building sector....

Abstract. In this study we examine the spatial patterns of risk towards climate change and climatic extremes in “Trinational Metropolitan Region Upper Rhine” (TMU). Following concept analysis, identify regional dimension stressors relation to socio-economic dimension. We present an indicator-based assessment, which operationalizes as a product its subcomponents stressors, occurrence, sensitivity impact.We map them individually aggregate into composite index. also address specific challenges...

Current research on municipal adaption against climate change has primarily concentrated larger cities and metropolises. One reason for this is that most small medium-sized municipalities (SMM) are either slow in developing plans or have not yet addressed at all. A significant challenge facing local regional authorities seeking to implement effective strategies the limited availability of localized information. In light this, we analyze current status state Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. To...

<p><strong>Adapting to the effects of climate change will increasingly become a task municipal planning and implementation in coming years. This ranges from consideration increasing heat days retention heavy rainfall. Climate related hazards, together with their dynamic interplay exposure vulnerability pose considerable adverse consequences for municipalities need be addressed through risk management plans. While this is understood research being implemented...
