Safeguarding existing and establishing additional urban green infrastructure (UGI) and, thus, utilising its climate regulatory services is an essential field of action for change adaptation (CCA) in areas. In particular, safeguarding improving UGI on private land mostly residential areas a central lever as focus solely public – typically roads, squares parks would address only small share For many years, CCA has had strategic the provision ecosystem (ESS) through UGI, spatial planning been...
Within the wide array of adaptive responses to flood hazards, planned relocation residents at risk is usually only taken into account if other are ineffective or unavailable. Residents targeted by confronted with radical changes in their livelihood; therefore, highly contested within public discourse. The present paper assesses dynamic processes design and implementation voluntary Austrian Danube catchment over five decades. Using Multiple Streams Approach, emergence policy windows mapped...
Tenants all over the globe face challenges of increasing rents and even forced evictions, particularly in private urban rental sector. Affordable housing shortage displacement have become severe societal problems for lower- middle-income segments. Certain legal institutions, including tenancy law, provide a decommodifying capacity more tenure security stability. This paper studies this law by comparatively examining tenants' landlords' rights Austria, Germany, Switzerland through lens...
This article aims to analyze the legal framework for flood risk management in Austria, focusing on planning. Austria's basis is fairly complex because its federal organization involves various administrative bodies and a fragmented framework. Regulations are numerous, as competencies, which poses challenges. Implementation mechanisms vary between provinces; nevertheless, provincial regulations impose basic regarding building process. concerning private protection mitigation measures existing...
This article presents an open space concept of areas that are kept permanently free from buildings, technical infrastructure, and soil sealing. In the European Alps, is scarce because topography; conflicts often arise between competing land uses such as permanent settlements commercial activity. However, presence spaces important for carbon sequestration prevention natural hazards, especially given climate change. A GIS-based analysis was conducted to identify alpine-wide inventory...
Flood retention, in particular controlled flood plays an increasingly prominent role the portfolio of risk management strategies. Though a highly effective measure to reduce flooding for vulnerable areas, retention is land-intensive and infringes on landowners' property rights. Implementation efforts are thus often hampered by lack availability land as well growing demands (agricultural) landowners compensation services. The proliferation not only changes riparian uses but also results shift...
To tackle hydrometeorological extreme events and adapt to climate change, Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are widely considered a promising approach. Yet, their implementation remains challenging. One key reason is that NbS require lot more land than grey infrastructure – making dependent on privately owned prone cause or exacerbate conflicts of interest over use. This request widens the numbers actors involved in decision-making process. For this very reason, realisation highlights...
The discussion whether and how to capture the increment of land value has been present in academia politics for decades. Only few countries have established comprehensive systems calculate values introduce a regulatory basis directly or indirectly increments linked land-use planning decisions public good. This article elaborates potentials barriers implementing land-use-based direct value-capture mechanism within Austria’s fragmented regime. considerations are built upon an analysis existing...
Die alpinen Regionen Österreichs sind in den Höhenlagen im internationalen Vergleich zur Erholung und sportlichen Ertüchtigung leicht zugänglich. Neben technischen Erschließungen, die vor allem für Skigebiete Bewirtschaftung von Forst- Almflächen erforderlich sind, stellt das Schutzhütten- Wegenetz eine umfassende Beherbergungs- Weginfrastruktur dar, wie es sie weltweit kein zweites Mal gibt.<sup>1</sup> Errichtung Schutzhütten erfolgte dabei durch Sektionen des Deutschen bzw...
