Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the 2024 project seminar, we will look at the spatial development paths of the energy transition using the Mostviertel region as an example. We use perspectives and tools from geography and spatial planning to gain a deeper understanding of the current situation and outline plausible development scenarios for the future.
In order to develop a well-founded analytical perspective, we will first look at different approaches to the topic of the energy transition, e.g. social and technical dimensions, questions of justice and participation or different management approaches.
Building on this, we analyse the region using qualitative and quantitative tools. In doing so, we integrate data on the social, economic, physical-spatial and political context in order to draw a detailed picture of the area under investigation.
The analysis forms the basis for the subsequent development of regional energy scenarios. In this context, we also discuss what role scenarios play in planning and how they can be validated and applied.
The work in the project seminar is organised in small working groups, which work on short thematic inputs as well as parts of the analysis and scenarios. In the intensive working atmosphere of the block course, regular situation discussions and short presentations are planned to accompany the group work.
