Umweltkonflikte in Küstenregionen: Ein Rollenspiel
Funding: PERLE/ BMBF
Duration: 2020
Project description (only in German)
Rollenspiele finden zunehmend Anwendung in der Naturschutz- und Planungspraxis. Im Rahmen des Vorhabens sollen Studierende der interdisziplinären Studiengänge Environmental Management und Sustainability, Society and Environment und weitere Interessierte, ein Rollenspiel entwickeln, das Zielkonflikten zwischen dem Schutz und dem Nutzen mariner Räume darstellt. Ziel ist es, die Rollen verschiedener Nutzergruppen auszuarbeiten, und das Szenario eines Verhandlungsprozesses, z.B. im Rahmen der Entwicklung eines Managementplans, zu entwerfen. Das Szenario soll dabei möglichst eng an real existierende Verhandlungen angelehnt sein. Die Studierenden lernen zudem, wie aus diesen Materialien ein Rollenspiel entwickelt wird, dass danach im Rahmen verschiedener Module eingesetzt werden kann.

Hydrosocial Jakarta
Funding: Kiel Marine Science and Internationalization Fund of CAU Kiel (workshop)
Duration: 2019-2022
Project description
Coastal areas are among the most densely populated areas on earth. Despite sea-level rise and other climate change induced hazards many coastal urbanizations such as Dubai, Hong Kong, Hamburg and Jakarta are engaged in large-scale land reclamation or water front developments and expand in the direction of their semi-aquatic and aquatic forelands. They create new urban territory by transforming fluid space to solid space. Taking the Jakarta Bay as an example the workshop focusses on two interrelated issues. First, the project seeks to identify how the enclosure of terrestrial and aquatic coastal and marine spaces along the mega cities north coast and on the Thousand Island archipelago for reclamation, conservation and tourism effects socio-ecological relations and coastal livelihoods. Second, it workshop seeks to discuss material and discursive transformation of terrestrial and aquatic coastal and marine spaces.

Political Ecology of the Elbe River
Funding: Kiel Marine Science
Duration: 2020-2021
Project description
The project seeks to contribute to ongoing discussions in coastal and marine planning by providing an account on the contested planning of the fairway adoption of the Elbe River. Using a political ecology perspective and the growth coalition concept growth (Jaffee, 2015; Molotch, 1976) we identify contested environmental knowledge claims and narratives on the socio-ecological consequences of the fairway adaptation.
