Project: "Green Ring Bremen"
Head: Prof Dr Ingo Mose, Dr Peter Schaal, Christian Aden
Collaborators: Jonas Zimmermann
Summary: The project has two objectives: Firstly, the status quo of the "Green Ring Bremen", a three-part ring cycle route network through the countryside surrounding Bremen, is to be recorded and analysed for necessary improvement measures (signposting, information material, etc.). Secondly, possible potentials for the further development of the "Green Ring" into an area-wide concept for green and open space conservation and recreational planning in the Bremen hinterland are to be identified and suitable ways to develop them are to be developed.

Brief description: As part of the Jean Monnet Chair "Europeanisation and Sustainable Spatial Development", a sub-project is investigating the extent to which large protected areas, in particular biosphere reserves, national parks and nature parks (as well as other types of protected areas at European level), can play a possible role model for dealing with and solving central social challenges at the beginning of the 212th century. Threats to biodiversity, climate change, demographic change and the loss of open space and landscape are selected problem areas to which protected areas could potentially make a targeted contribution. UNESCO and legislators expressly claim that biosphere reserves, for example, serve as models for the implementation of sustainable spatial development. Experts from nine European countries will discuss this complex of questions at an international workshop from 25 - 27 February 2014 at the Hanse Wissenschafts Kolleg in Delmenhorst. It is intended to publish the results of the event as part of a joint book publication by the workshop participants.

Brief description: As part of the Jean Monnet Chair "Europeanisation and Sustainable Spatial Development", a sub-project is investigating which concepts, strategies and instruments offer suitable conditions for the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas in Europe, based on the results of the DFG project "Regional Governance in Peripheral Rural Regions of Europe" (2006 - 2008), which serve as a starting point for further targeted investigations in the context of individual regional case studies, including the Western Isles in Scotland. The first scientific publications are now available. It is planned to hold a symposium on this topic at the University of Oldenburg in autumn 2014 in cooperation with the Rural Studies Working Group of the German Geographical Society.
