Die Untersuchung soll der rechtstatsaechlichen Umsetzung des Umweltstrafrechts, wie es durch das 18. StRAeG formuliert und in Kraft gesetzt wurde, nachgehen. Dabei soll festgestellt werden, inwieweit das neue Umweltstraftrecht Auswirkungen auf den Organisationsrahmen der Strafverfolgung hatte und letzterer wiederum einer effizienteren Umsetzung der normativen Ansprueche zugute kommt. Ferner soll ermittelt werden, inwieweit das Strafrecht tatsaechlich und nach der Vorstellung der normanwendenden Instanzen als Mittel oder auch nur im Kontext regulativer (Umwelt-)Politik tauglich ist.
This project aims at analysing the contribution of scientific information to the fragmentation of the international forest regime complex (IFRC) by applying an interdisciplinary approach at the interface between forest inventory research and policy science. Its objectives are1. Analyzing the use of inventory information within the IFRC by different national and international bureaucracies and their non-state allies and its effect on fragmentation. 2. Assessing the extent and quality of the inventory information used in policy processes as compared to the potentially available information. 3. Analyzing implemented inventory practices against the scientific state of the art approaches and their role in the context of fragmentation 4. Identifying avenues for scientific knowledge to enter into the IFRC by testing the knowledge-transfer-by-allies-hypothesis. The project will review the technical scientific possibilities of forest inventories and develop a method for assessing quantity and quality of inventory-based information used within the IFRC by national and international bureaucracies. Subsequently, the quality of information used will be assessed against the state of the art in inventory research. Based on the hypothesis that information may only enter the policy process in alliance with powerful actors, who in turn selected the information, the project will analyse the interest-driven selection of information by political actors.
Urban resilience and sustainability ultimately depend on the adaptive capacity of a city, and Urban Living Labs represent a promising mechanism for adaptive, sustainable governance of the urban Food-Water-Energy (FWE) nexus. What is needed now is an Urban Living Lab methodology for developing solutions to urban food, water and/or energy challenges that not only takes a local FEW nexus approach, but also accounts for local-global FWE interactions. The GLOCULL project aims to develop a co-creative Urban Living Lab approach for innovations in the FWE nexus that are both locally and globally sustainable. To support future implementation of this novel approach, context-sensitive implementation guidelines and a participatory assessment tool kit will be developed through transdisciplinary action research in seven Urban Living Labs, combined with an integrated, model-supported assessment of local-global interactions in the FWE nexus. The GLOCULL consortium is well-positioned for this project by including reputed research partners as well as local public and private sector partners committed to implementation of FWE innovation experiments. The consortium brings together a wealth of knowledge and expertise on living labs and other transformative transdisciplinary approaches in sustainable urban development, as well as extensive research experience in governance and management of food, water and energy issues from the local to the global level, including multi-level interactions. Urban Living Lab FWE innovation experiments are already identified in each of the seven participating countries.
The overall objective of the proposal is the continuous provision of central data services to the DFG research unit 816. Based on our conceptual design and technical implementation of the research units data warehouse (FOR816dw) which is already operational since the very beginning of phase one, further enhancements especially related to the powerful web-interfaces for data upload, query, download and visualization will be incorporated during the second phase. The FOR816dw system ensures that administrative and scientific datasets and corresponding meta-information are safely stored and long-term accessible at a single location. It also forms the centre of the overall integration concept of the research unit which is supervised by the PI of this proposal. Beside this computer-science services, the subproject will also continue to act as main help desk for all other subprojects.
Humanity has influenced and changed the large majority of the earths landscapes, especially those in urban areas. There is no doubt that it is crucial to include human dimensions - perceptions, attitudes, preferences etc. - in terms of landscape inheritance, conservation, development and management or what. Public perception and preference research has a long lasting history in landscape subjects, and has been playing an important role in practical implementation. This study will be conducted in Suzhou, China - a typical Chinese city with numerous ancient cultural heritages and facing endless modernization and urbanization. Literate review will be thoroughly carried out on respect to the processes, states, significances of human dimensions for landscapes. The interpretation of historical materials about landscape changes during decades of the research site will be completed. The targeted objects will be the residents there and visitors. There are still more than 200.000 permanent residents living in the research core, who represent the main force of conserving the ancient heritages lasted thousands years. Therefore, their attitudes towards the landscape changes, ancient landscape elements or symbols are vital, and should be included in routines for landscape design, management and conservation. Moreover, up to millions of visitors from both inside and outside of China come to Suzhou every year, which makes the study concerning their perceptions and preferences even more critical. The well-structured questionnaires, together with semi-open or open interviews will be applied aimed at different targeted groups, and the results will be interpreted and evaluated based on scientific theories and methodologies in both quantitative and qualitative ways. Eventually, how these findings could be used to inform the landscape policy-makers, designer, planner or managers and how to transfer the results into practical status in other cities of China or even in other developing countries facing the same dilemmas would be generated.
To support the development and to strengthen the sustainable agricultural sector in Kosovo, the international cooperation project 'Sustainable agriculture in the light of European environment targets' was realised from 2013 to 2015. The Higher KOS project AgriEnvironment (K-09-2012) was implemented jointly by three partners from Austria, Croatia and Kosovo. The geography and structure offered high possibilities in research networking and practical experience in the field of sustainable agriculture for the protection of the environment. Objectives of the project: - Develop instruments, strategies and tools on how to increase the agricultural production, taking into account the environmental aspects in Kosovo and to help young researchers in Kosovo to cog-nize the need and advantages of a sustainable agricultural approach - Implementation of trainings for students from Kosovo, to present state of the art research activities, best practise examples and to give support how to apply the experiences in their country - SWOT-analysis of the current situation in the field of agriculture and protection of environment in the partner countries - Generation of long-term partnerships and prospective research and development concepts and possibilities for their realization.

Die Frage, in welche Richtung sich Gesellschaften national und global entwickeln und welche Weichen dafür gestellt werden, stellt sich im Zuge der Wirtschaftskrise in neuer Qualität. Das Leitbild der nachhaltigen Entwicklung sollte dabei die Grundlage politischen Handelns darstellen. Wie soll eine Umweltpolitik aussehen, die sich als wesentlicher Teil dieses Leitbilds gegenüber anderen Bereichen positionieren muss? BMU muss eine eigenständige Strategie für diese Frage entwickeln, die auch eine kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung des Leitbilds im Zuge sich ständig ändernder Rahmenbedingungen ermöglicht. Wichtigste Grundlage für eine 'gute' Umweltpolitik ist die konsequente Nutzbarmachung transdisziplinären Wissens aus Gesellschaft und Wissenschaft. Ein Blick auf den bestehenden Wissenstransfer zeigt jedoch, dass umweltpolitische Beratung oft abstrakt bleibt, entscheidende Fragen der praktischen Durchsetzbarkeit unbeachtet lässt und neue Denkansätze nur unzureichend abgebildet werden. Das Projekt soll zur Beantwortung folgender Fragen dienen: 1. Welcher Beratungsbedarf besteht in der Umweltpolitik hinsichtlich der Umsetzung des Leitbildes einer NE in alle gesellschaftliche Bereiche? 2. Mit welchen Ansätzen hinsichtlich Wissen, Wissensgenerierung und Wissenstransfer kann transdisziplinäre Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsforschung dazu beitragen, den Bedarf zu decken? 3. Welche Rolle spielen bestehende Forschungs- und Beratungseinrichtungen ?Wie können sie ihre Umweltpolitikberatung zur Umsetzung des Leitbildes einer NE wirkungsvoller gestalten? Vorgehen: 1. BMU-interne Klärung des Beratungsbedarfs und Kriterien für geeignete Forschungskonzepte (eigene Arbeit) 2. Überblick über die Forschungs- und Beratungslandschaft, wesentliche Akteure, Forschungsschwerpunkte und neue konzeptionelle Ansätze (Studie) 3. Fachdialog mit pot. Beratern und wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen zur Frage, wie Nachfrage und Angebot (besser) aufeinander abgestimmt werden können.
