Die Arbeiten und Zielsetzungen in diesem Projekt ergeben sich aus den im Durchführungsbeschluss (EU) 2021/19 festgelegten Berichtspflichten. Entsprechend dieser Vorgaben wurde im Projekt eine Datenbasis zur Wiederverwendung für Deutschland geschaffen. Durch umfangreiche Recherchen wurden vielfältigste Wiederverwendungs-Aktivitäten aus Bund und Ländern zusammengetragen. Alle Einzelmaßnahmen wurden kategorisiert und definierten generischen Maßnahmen zugeordnet. Nach Validierung geeigneter Instrumente zur Quantifizierung wurde eine relevante nationale Methode vorgeschlagen. Gemeinsam mit einem Umfrageinstitut wurde ein klassischer Fragebogen für private Haushalte entwickelt, Mitte 2022 die Online-Erhebung durchgeführt und darauf basierend eine erste verifizierte Datenbasis erstellt. In Deutschland wurden von Haushalten im Jahr 2021 insgesamt rund 3 Millionen Tonnen an gebrauchten Produkten nachgefragt. Das entspricht einem Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch von rund 36 Kilogramm pro Kopf. Etwa 68 % der erwachsenen Bevölkerung nutzt regelmäßig sogenannte Second-Hand-Ware. Die Schätzungen zur Gesamtzahl der Wiederverwendungs-Operatoren variieren stark, so dass für das Berichtsjahr 2021 keine valide Zahl berichtet werden kann. Die Möglichkeiten der Umsetzung der Messmethodik für Deutschland wurden auch im Hinblick auf zukünftige Berichte diskutiert und eine Qualitätsbetrachtung durchgeführt und Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet. Der vorliegende Projektbericht ist in einen Hauptteil und zwei Anhänge getrennt. Die Ergebnisse für die passgenaue Berichterstattung an die EU-Kommission können aus Anhang 1 entnommen werden. Anhang 2 enthält detaillierte Informationen zu den generischen Maßnahmen und veröffentlicht die Quellen zur Befragung der privaten Haushalte.

"This book analyses various forms of liminality and transgression in different geographies and demonstrates how and why various physical and symbolic boundaries create liminality and transgression. Its focus is on comprehending the ways in which these borders and boundaries generate liminality and transgression rather than viewing them solely as issues. It provides case studies from the past and present, allowing readers to connect subjects, periods, and geographies. It consists of theoretical and empirical chapters that demonstrate how borders and liminality are interconnected. The book also benefits from the power of several visual essays by artists to complete the theoretical and empirical chapters which demonstrate different forms of liminality without need of much words. The book will be of interest to researchers and students working in the fields of urban and rural studies, urban sociology, cities and communities, urban and regional planning, urban anthropology, political science, migration studies, human geography, cultural geography, urban anthropology, and visual arts"--

Most people have some dissatisfaction or concern about body weight, fatness, or obesity, either personally or professionally. This book shows how the popular understanding of obesity is often at odds with scientific understandings, and how misunderstandings about people with obesity can further contribute to the problem. It describes, in an approachable way, interconnected debates about obesity in public policy, medicine and public health, and how media and social media engage people in everyday life in those debates. In chapters considering body fat and fatness, genetics, metabolism, food and eating, inequality, blame and stigma, and physical activity, this book brings separate domains of obesity research into the field of complexity. By doing so, it aids navigation through the minefield of misunderstandings about body weight, fatness, and obesity that exist today, after decades of mostly failed policies and interventions.
