Die vorliegende Studie präsentiert einen Methodenvorschlag für gemeinde- und
kreisscharfe Abgrenzungen von Arbeitsmarktregionen auf der Basis von
Pendlerverflechtungen. Die Abgrenzung nutzt als Verfahren eine Weiterentwicklung
der graphentheoretischen Methode, deren Güte mit dem Modularitätsmaß Q aus der
Netzwerkforschung gemessen wird. Die Studie basiert auf Gemeindedaten für

This paper identifies hubs of knowledge-based labour in the German urban system
from two perspectives: the importance of a metropolitan region as a place and
the importance of a metropolitan region as an organisational node. This
combination of a network perspective with a territorial perspective enables the
identification of hubs. From the functional perspective, hubs are understood as
important ... hiện toàn bộ
Theories of successful regional development which, like the “creative milieu”
concept, stress the importance of networks of personal contacts quite rightly
attract the interest of those involved in the practice of regional development
planning. This article presents some of the key ideas behind this concept and
evaluates them with regard to the possibility of translating them into planning

The year 1997 marks a turning point in the development of east German inner-city
fringe areas: many old residential quarters have registered clear increases in
the number of inhabitants again after a phase of exodus. The time of the trend
reversal coincides with the development of an excess supply of housing space and
decreasing rents, which determine the situation of east German housing markets

The paper deals with the subject of urban and spatial development from the
perspective of discourse analysis. It aims at reconstructing the manifold
discoursive ways in which urban decline and regeneration are being interpreted.
In so doing, it looks at the current issue of „urban renaissance”, which is
considered by some observers as an indication of a substantial trend towards
„reurbanization”. ... hiện toàn bộ
The discussion about cultural landscapes during the past few years is amongst

from the traditional ideal of idyllic cultural landscapes to a more pragmatic
and up-to-date-definition. This article compares the so-called “narrow” term to
a “wider” term of landscape and surveys how these terms appear in regional-park

Until today, the academic and political debates on the German energy transition
have primarily focused on policy activities and processes at either the national
or local level. However, they have largely ignored how the Länder shape the
federal decision-making on the allocation of greenhouse gas emissions according
to their place-based economic interests. The starting point of this paper is the

For several years now, volunteer activity has been increasingly placed at the
center of a political discourse monopolizing it for politics of dealing with
socio- and spatio-political problems. It is particularly in those rural regions
affected by out-migration and an ageing population that volunteering is
considered an advisable way for securing local public responsibilities. Based on
a critical r... hiện toàn bộ
Customarily, cities are being described in terms of their historical origins and
as manifestations of political conceptions, while rural areas are being
characterized by natural spatial features and their contrast to cities. Due to
its hybridity, “regional rurbanism” defies categorical con- sideration. It is
more likely perceived as the result of the ambiguous interaction of social and
natural, pl... hiện toàn bộ
