Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach den ökonomischen Integrationseffekten in den Grenzräumen. Grenzregionen liegen aus nationaler Sicht mehr oder weniger peripher. Mit abnehmender Bedeutung nationaler Grenzen rücken sie aber in eine relativ zentrale Lage zwischen den betreffenden Mitgliedstaaten. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden hier empirische Untersuchungen für ausgewählte deutsch-dänische und deutsch-niederländische Grenzräume angestellt. Die Ergebnisse der Fallstudien werden anschließend vor dem Hintergrund ökonomischer Theorien und mit Blick auf die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse über die grenzübergreifende Zusammenarbeit bewertet.

The US Census serves as a fundamental building block for our democracy with direct implications for our state's representation at the federal level as well as the allocation of billions of dollars of federal funding for critical public programs. In response to advocacy efforts highlighting the critical importance of an accurate count, the state of California has made an unprecedented investment of $187 million to support census outreach across the state.This learning memo is part of an evaluation of We Count LA outreach efforts from the California Community Foundation. It is designed to document insights and lessons from early planning efforts on the "road to readiness," as well as lift-up key considerations and gaps as partners pivot from planning to Census implementation. The key themes and takeaways in this learning memo reflect both the early achievements and key issues from the Los Angeles Regional Census Table regional leads as they begin to pivot from the census planning to implementation phase.

Local watershed planning is an increasingly important component of environmental management. This article provides an overview of local watershed management efforts occurring across the US and then focuses on one case study from southern Illinois. First, analysis of 1145 local watershed groups shows that government agencies, farmers, and rural residents are key stakeholders in local groups that primarily deal with regional environmental stressors in the form of soil erosion, nutrients, and agrichemicals. Second, the role of watershed partnerships in mediating the complex interactions among stakeholders and local water resources are investigated through a case study of one watershed group. The Cache River is located in the far-southern tip of Illinois and a watershed planning process was initiated there in the 1990s. An in-depth assessment of this watershed planning process was accomplished through participant interviews, stakeholder focus groups, and a regional telephone survey. This case study illuminates how different stakeholder groups have varying perceptions as to the efficacy and success of watershed management plans.

Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT505) ; Climate change mitigation is a collective effort, and different governmental levels must be involved in pursuing it. People in the Nordic counties have a high awareness of climate change, but there is a discrepancy between knowledge and implementation of climate-friendly policies locally. In recent years, Norway has seen the emergence of protest movements opposing restrictive climate change mitigation measures. These parallel and contradictory dimensions challenge and disrupt established forms of policymaking. The urban regions must strike a balance between national climate goals and potential local resistance. This qualitative case study explores these the socio-political dynamics and challenges oflocal-regional policymaking in increasingly politicised environments. The theoretical framework is built on three different fields of literature addressing communication, media and the fragmented (online) public sphere; consensual political culture in policymaking processes; and the role of local and rural identities in collaborative regional policymaking. The study examines local-regional strategy planning between four adjacent municipalities and the county using The Regional Area and Transport Plan for Arendal Region in Norway as an example.

SummaryZimbabwe has one of the worst HIV epidemics in the world. This study investigated data from two successive Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Surveys (ZDHS) conducted in 2005–06 and 2010–11. A random representative sample of 30,000 men aged 15–59 and women aged 15–49 was selected from the two surveys. The HIV prevalence was mapped with a flexible, coherent regression framework using a geo-additive semi-parametric mixed model. HIV indicator prevalence maps were constructed at the regional level, and at the administrative level relevant for policy design, planning and decision-making. Substantial regional variation was found, not only in the burden of HIV, but also in its risk factors. The results suggest that responses/policies should vary at the regional level to ensure that the often diverse needs of populations across a country are met and incorporated into planning the HIV response. The use of geographically referenced data in two successive ZDHS provides crucial new insights into the spatial characteristics of the HIV epidemic in Zimbabwe. In particular, it highlights the HIV heterogeneity across Zimbabwe, with substantial regional variation, not only in the burden of HIV, but also in its risk factors.

One of the main purposes of Terwagne's law is to associate the regions to the economic planning. Three regions : Flanders, Wallonia and Brabant are instituted and endowed with organs, the SDR (regional development society) and the CBR (regional economic council).The CERB (regional economic council for Brabant) took part to the regionalisation of the Plans. But various factors made this regionalisation insufficient.The CERB still expressed views on the used water purification, transport infrastructure, territory planning and institutional matters. Moreover, the ERB greatly developed its research mission rather than claiming activity. Meanwhile, the subsequent development of the ideas about regionalisation led to a delimitation of a central region not the same as that instituted by the economic decentralisation : the Brussels region restricted to nineteen communes.The activity of CERB makes it primarily a consultative organ of the future regional institutions. But as a preliminary, the geographical competence of the CERB and its composition must be modificated.To organize a real regionalisation, it is necessary to suppress technical impediments (deficiency in delays and information) and it is also necessary that the consultation should be complete and real.

Die Möglichkeit zur multilokalen Lebensführung (ML) hängt von der Erreichbarkeit der Wohnstandorte relativ zueinander ab. Diese wiederum ergibt sich aus der zu überwindenden Distanz und den Verkehrsangeboten (Infrastrukturen und Services). Die spezifischen Ansprüche multilokal lebender Personen sind von ihrem Mobilitätsverhalten bestimmt, das wiederum teilweise von den miteinander verbundenen Orten abhängt (z.B. Stadt/Stadt oder Stadt/Land). Zu unterscheiden ist weiterhin zwischen lokalen und regionalen Verkehrsangeboten an den Wohnorten und Reisen zwischen den Wohnorten. Auch der öffentliche Charakter der meisten Verkehrsangebote macht die Anforderungen multilokal Lebender an Verkehrsplanung und politik schwer bestimmbar. Sie können spezifisch werden, wenn Verkehrsangebote etwa mit Wohnangeboten für Multilokale verbunden werden, sich an bestimmte Gruppen multilokaler Personen richten oder besondere lokale Bedingungen vorliegen (z.B. Tourismusregionen).

"Der Artikel identifiziert einen strukturell neuen Typ der Bürgerbeteiligung, der seit einiger Zeit in der Planungspraxis zu beobachten ist und sich von gängigen kommunikativen Methoden unterscheidet. Dieser neue Beteiligungstyp zeichnet sich durch seine Verortung im urbanen öffentlichen Raum und seine Handlungsorientierung aus. In anwohner- oder expertengeleiteten Interventionen wird dabei der öffentliche Raum unmittelbar gestaltet. Obwohl diese Beteiligungsform zunehmend zur Anwendung kommt, fehlen bisher weitestgehend eine begriffliche Fassung dieses Phänomens sowie eine planungstheoretische Einordnung. Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt der Artikel nach den Vorteilen und Einsatzbereichen dieser Partizipationsform und entwickelt ein gegenstandsbezogenes Theorieangebot. Hierfür wird der Begriff der performativen Bürgerbeteiligung eingeführt, um mithilfe der Performanztheorie den Aufführungscharakter partizipativer Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum jenseits des kommunikativen Paradigmas fassbar zu machen."

The article explores the challenges encountered during the formation of the Baltic macro-region comprising Russia and eight EU countries (Germany, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) in the context of the ongoing geopolitical and geo-economic changes. The article aims to assess the dynamics, level, structure and pace of economic development of three Russian regions located on the Baltic Sea (St. Petersburg, Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions) and analyse the intensity of their trade relations with countries of the macro-region. Russian Baltic regions have higher development rates compared to the national average. However, they experience difficulties in their economic development resulting from negative external factors. The article describes possible ways of overcoming these difficulties by improving the sectoral structure of the economy and diversifying international ties. In this context, the development of inter-regional cooperation and the formation of a spatially distributed territorial socio-economic system, including the three Russian Baltic regions, will be particularly beneficial. The period covered by the article is 1996-2021, with a special focus on 2014-2021. The study is based on the economic and statistical analysis of official data of Rosstat and the Federal Customs Service on the sectoral structure and dynamics of the gross regional product (GRP), volume and changes in foreign trade, and its commodity and geographical structure.

Crisis is something that can suddenly unnoticed. A Public Relations is required to be able to control that impact. Every Public Relations should make a plan in handling crisis, the planning referred as Crisis Management. Kuningan District Government has a planning strategy in handling the crisis. The problem of e-ID card is an external crisis that occurred in Kuningan. This research uses descriptive qualitative research method in order to give description about Crisis Communication Management conducted by Public Relations of Regional Government of Kuningan Regency in handling e-KTP crisis that happened in Kuningan. There are three stages in handling the crisis that is with pre-crisis planning, during crisis and post crisis. The result of this research is communications crisis management activities conducted by the Regional Government of Kuningan Regency has gone through three stages. The first stage is pre crisis, the existence of planning on what to do if the crisis occurs. Local Government of Kuningan Regency in handling e-KTP crisis, they are quick response in handling crisis and also transparent to society. The last thing done after the crisis is by providing guidance and input to the Ahmadiyah community and related Islamic organizations.

El análisis de riesgo en áreas urbanas es una exigencia legal en España. La normativa estatal del suelo y las autonómicas de ordenación territorial y urbanística contemplan la obligación de incluir cartografía de riesgo en los procesos de planificación. En las últimas tres décadas, el riesgo frente a inundaciones se ha incrementado notablemente en algunas regiones españolas en relación con la ocupación de áreas inundables con usos residenciales. La información catastral se convierte en una herramienta eficaz para la valoración de la exposición al peligro de inundaciones. En este artículo se analiza la potencialidad de esta información y su integración con la cartografía del Sistema Nacional de Cartografías de Zonas Inundables en un área del litoral mediterráneo que ha experimentado un incremento desaforado de su parque de viviendas, como método de trabajo aplicable en otros territorios para la valoración de la exposición al riesgo y la elaboración de cartografía de detalle. ; Risk analysis in urban areas is a legal requirement in Spain. The state legislation of land and various regional regulations of territorial and urban planning include an obligation to produce maps showing the risk in land use processes. In the last three decades flood risk has increased significantly in some Spanish regions due to an increase in human occupation of flood-prone areas. Cadastral data becomes a powerful tool for the assessment of exposure to flood hazards. This paper analyzes the potential of this information and its integration with the maps of National Cartographic System of Flood Zones in an area of the Mediterranean coastal region that has experienced a significant increase in its housing stock. This method of analysis is applicable to other territories for the assessment of exposure to risk and the elaboration of detail mapping.

Current geopolitical and geoeconomic changes require a reconsideration of the role of the Kaliningrad region in the Baltic region. This study aims to demonstrate the possible effect of some trends in the development of the neighbouring countries on the future of the Kaliningrad region and make recommendations on the territory's macrospecialisation. Amid the erosion of the world order, Sergey A. Karaganov calls for moderate isolationism. The Kaliningrad region is an incredibly interesting historical experiment bound to produce unexpected results. The strengthening of Russia, which coincided with the termination of 300 years of attempts to become part of Europe in some capacity, radically affects the functions of the Kaliningrad region. Its unique geographical position and caring attitude to the historical heritage make it a likely outpost of Russia's soft power. Developing the region as a laboratory of the future, which builds models for the domestic market and exports, will allow the country to benefit from scale, taking advantage of its larger and smaller territories. Higher education may play a leading part in the process. In particular, as conservatism revives, it is time to take another look at the ideas and approaches used when creating Akademgorodok in Novosibirsk.

Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt eine Studie über multilokales Wohnen in der Schweiz vor, welche auf einer quantitativen Umfrage sowie auf qualitativen Fotobefragungen basiert. Ausgewählte Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die hohe Relevanz multilokalen Wohnens für verschiedene Facetten der Raumentwicklung: Das Wohnen an mehreren Orten ist stark verbreitet, die Beweggründe dafür vielfältig. Multilokales Wohnen geht mit einer hohen Verfügbarkeit von Wohnfläche einher, aber ebenso mit starken sozialen Beziehungen. Die Rhythmen der Nutzung der verschiedenen Wohnsitze sind relativ hoch, sodass die Multilokalen auch eine hohe Relevanz als Verkehrsbeteiligte haben.
