The construction industry is one of the most environmentally detrimental industries in the world, impacting directly the use of raw materials, their determination of use involving the whole lifecycle, as well as all their surrounding environment. However, within the building sector, the transition from a linear to a circular economy is still at an early stage. Business models need to be reconsidered to include new and improved methods and innovative services that could lead to a net reduction in the use of resources and minimizing the waste disposed on landfills. In this context, an important role in buildings’ circularity is “deconstruction”, which is understood as a well-considered selective dismantlement of building components, in prevision of a future reuse, repurposing, or recycling. It represents a sustainable alternative to common demolition, which tends to be an arbitrary and destructive process, and although faster and cheaper, it typically creates a substantial amount of waste. The purpose of this article is to analyze the deconstruction potential of buildings and the strategies to apply in order to keep the impacts on the urban environment low. The article aims to facilitate the implementation of circular economy strategies for buildings by proposing common principles for deconstruction as a sustainable alternative to demolition and defining the key points to be applied during the design and planning process regardless of the type of construction system or material used.

The influence of spatial aspects on people’s health is internationally proven by a wealth of empirical findings. Nevertheless, questions concerning public health still tend to be negotiated among social and health scientists. This was different in the elaboration of the Austrian Action Plan on Women’s Health (AAPWH). On the example of the target group of older women, it is shown whether and to what extent the inclusion of the spatial planning perspective in the discussion of impact goals and measures is reflected in the respective inter-ministerial policy paper. The retrospective analysis on the basis of a document analysis of the AAPWH and qualitative interviews with public health experts who were also invited to join, or rather were part of, the expert group, brings to light the following key reasons for the high degree of spatial-related abstraction of the content of this strategic health policy paper: the requirement for general formulations, the lack of public and political awareness for the different living situations in different spatial archetypes, and the lack of external perception of spatial planning as a key discipline with regard to the creation of equivalent living conditions. Nonetheless, this research has promoted the external perception of spatial planning as a relevant discipline in public health issues in Austria. Furthermore, first thematic starting points for an in-depth interdisciplinary dialogue were identified.

Zusammenfassung Der demografische Wandel stellt eine komplexe Herausforderung für den territorialen und sozialen Zusammenhalt in unserer Gesellschaft dar. Dies deshalb, weil die Teilräume Österreichs in unterschiedlichem Maße von Veränderungen der Bevölkerungsgröße und der altersstrukturellen Zusammensetzung betroffen sind. Die bedarfsgerechte Planung und Bereitstellung von sozialer Infrastruktur wird auch aufgrund der Veränderungen der Haushaltsstrukturen und der Heterogenisierung der Bevölkerung infolge internationaler Zuwanderung zunehmend zur Herausforderung. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels auf die soziale Infrastruktur im Bereich des Hochwasserrisikomanagements aus Sicht von Expert*innen aus dem Gesundheits- und Sozialbereich. 17 Expert*innen aus verschiedenen Bundesländern und Tätigkeitsbereichen beteiligten sich an einer schriftlichen Befragung im Frühjahr 2020. Sie beantworteten einen 29 Fragen umfassenden Fragenkatalog zu den Bedeutungszusammenhängen zwischen dem demografischen Wandel und dem Hochwasserrisikomanagement und gaben Empfehlungen für den künftigen Umgang mit dem Thema Demografie in den Risikomanagementkonzepten ab. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass beiden Themenfeldern eine hohe Relevanz zugeschrieben wird, diese jedoch tendenziell oberflächlich skizziert werden. Als Erklärung hierfür kann der Mangel an integrativer Zusammenarbeit zwischen den verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen angenommen werden. Dies wiederum führt dazu, dass man in diesem Politikfeld vom erklärten Ziel der WHO, nämlich der „Health-in-all-policies“, noch ein Stück weit entfernt ist.

This contribution explores the conceptual and empirical linkages between population dynamics and natural hazard risk management (NHRM). Following a review of the international scholarly literature, we conduct a mixed-methods approach in Austria, combining an online survey among policy makers and other stakeholders with a thematic analysis of policy documents. The aim is to investigate the practical relevance of socio-demographic change in Austria’s NHRM. The study shows that many hazard-prone regions in Austria face population change, in particular demographic ageing and population decline. In addition, our findings from the online survey demonstrate the relevance of population dynamics in NHRM, especially with regard to hazard response and recovery. Nonetheless, policy formulation in NHRM overwhelmingly disregards demographic change as a relevant factor. Accordingly, the study underscores the importance of future-oriented risk management strategies to better account for ongoing and expected socio-demographic changes.

Long-distance caregiving (LDC) is an issue of growing importance in the context of assessing the future of elder care and the maintenance of health and well-being of both the cared-for persons and the long-distance caregivers. Uncertainty in the international discussion relates to the relevance of spatially related aspects referring to the burdens of the long-distance caregiver and their (longer-term) willingness and ability to provide care for their elderly relatives. This paper is the result of a first attempt to operationalize and comprehensively analyze the spatial relatedness of long-distance caregiving against the background of the international literature by combining a longitudinal single case study of long-distance caregiving person and semantic hierarchies. In the cooperation of spatial sciences and geoinformatics an analysis grid based on a graph-theoretical model was developed. The elaborated conceptual framework should stimulate a more detailed and precise interdisciplinary discussion on the spatial relatedness of long-distance caregiving and, thus, is open for further refinement in order to become a decision-support tool for policy-makers responsible for social and elder care and health promotion. Moreover, it may serve as a starting point for the development of a method for the numerical determination of the long-distance caregivers on different spatial reference scales.

Recent EU environmental and spatial policies notably strive towards the development paradigm of green growth and economic competitiveness. However, operationalizing spatial policies through growth-driven GDP logics promotes an unequal race towards narrowly defined developmental ‘success’, while perpetuating social, economic and environmental inequalities. Meanwhile, the EU’s territorial cohesion approach has remained a conceptual ‘black box’, its apparent inadequacy for notably mitigating territorial disparities leading to renewed questions about territorial policy’s relevance, delivery and evaluation. In this paper, we add to calls for redesigning territorial cohesion by proposing a turn towards spatial justice for territorial sustainability. Pointing out the need to refocus on regional capabilities and alternative development trajectories, we argue that the ‘right to not catch up’ enables a more locally meaningful and globally sustainable development. Drawing from regional statistics, policy analyses and an empirical case study of three European Territorial Cooperation programs in the heterogeneous Austrian-Czech-Slovak-Hungarian border region, we illustrate how current EU spatial policy approaches evolve in regional practice and why current policy aims fall short for sustainable transformations. Through interrogating development discourses and their alternatives, we contribute to emerging new perspectives on sustainable territorial development at the European as well as at regional levels.

Zusammenfassung Der demografische Wandel zählt zu einer der bedeutendsten Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Demografische Veränderungen vollziehen sich auf unterschiedliche Weise und mit unterschiedlicher Dynamik: Alterung, Bevölkerungsrückgang, Veränderung der Haushaltsstrukturen und Zuwanderung. Wenngleich die steigende Lebenserwartung und die anhaltend niedrigen Geburtenraten langfristig zu einem wachsenden Anteil an älteren Menschen in der Gesamtbevölkerung führen, sind die unterschiedlichen Teilräume Stadt und Land in sehr unterschiedlichem Ausmaß (bereits) vom Bevölkerungsrückgang betroffen. Aufgrund seiner quantitativen Dimension und der sicht- und spürbaren Auswirkungen vor allem auf kleinräumiger bzw. lokaler Ebene – zu nennen sind hierbei vor allem die Unter- bzw. Überauslastung von Infrastruktur, der bauliche Leerstand und die sich einengenden finanziellen Handlungsspielräume der Gemeinden – wird der demografische Wandel als Phänomen bereits öffentlich wahrgenommen. Obgleich sich der demografische Wandel in vielerlei Hinsicht bereits manifestiert, wird ihm im Bereich des Hochwasserrisikomanagements sowohl in der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung als auch in der Politikgestaltung und -umsetzung bislang kaum Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den Stand der Auseinandersetzung mit dem demografischen Wandel in Bezug auf Hochwasserrisikomanagement aus dem Blickwinkel von Expertinnen und Experten aus den Bereichen Naturgefahren- und Katastrophenmanagement sowie der Raumplanung. Die ExpertInnenumfrage zeigt, dass Zusammenhänge zwischen demografischem Wandel und dem Management von Hochwasserrisiken für die meisten Akteure in Österreich auf der Hand liegen und als sehr relevant für das zukünftige Hochwasserrisikomanagement eingestuft werden. Insbesondere die demografische Alterung und der Bevölkerungsrückgang, aber auch die anhaltenden Veränderungen in der Haushaltsstruktur (d. h. der zunehmende Anteil von Einpersonenhaushalten und Zweitwohnungen) werden in verschiedenen Phasen des Risikomanagementzyklus als zunehmend relevant eingeschätzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen aber auch, dass in der gegenwärtigen Politikgestaltung und -umsetzung – und hier insbesondere bei der Planung – diese langfristigen Entwicklungen kaum berücksichtigt werden.

Despite decades of spending, Cohesion Policy appears unable to fully address growing national disparities and increasing ‘roll-out’ nationalism. In the present study we discuss regional effects of ‘fuzzy’ policy concepts, such as EU’s policy for Territorial Cohesion, in Central European borderlands from a stakeholder perspective. Identifying how key policy documents have framed the discussion of Territorial Cohesion, we furthermore demonstrate the differing ways regional stakeholders have interpreted this vision. By showing how multiple translations have produced dynamics that create a circular process, we conclude that this process leads towards non-comparable outcomes, increased misunderstanding, while fuelling EU scepticism.

Urban strategies and the way cities are planned have changed throughout history, adapting to the needs of the inhabitants, infrastructure requirements, and advances in technology. Uses and customs of people and cities are changing and can evolve much faster than in the past, with the result that urban planning is often too slow to adequately meet the current needs of society. In this context, the development of pop-up environments for temporary developments could be a solution to meet the needs of flexibility, adaptation, and resilience of a city. This allows the urban planner to consider systems from a short-term perspective, fulfilling current needs without compromising the development of potentially different activities in the future. The purpose of this research work is to outline the general requirements of pop-up environments in urban developments that allow for adequate integration into urban planning strategies. Based on an extensive evaluation of the existing literature and a series of case studies, the paper analyzes the key elements that define the framework conditions of urban planning strategies for temporary developments that generate a positive impact on the overall urban system.

Background: The number of persons who have to overcome extensive geographical distances for caring for their older parent(s), hereinafter referred to as long-distance caregiving relatives (LDCs), is rising. However, in the non-English-speaking Global North, little is known about the LDCs’ health literacy and the design of tailor-made health promotion measures for this target-group. Using the example of nursing care discussion forums (NCDF), this paper reflects the requirements and (future) potential of professionally-lead support groups for LDCs on the case-study example of Upper Austria. Methods: In order to approach this unexplored topic considering spatial-related aspects, a qualitative-explorative study design was chosen, focusing on the providers’ perspective. A written survey among all NCDF-group leaders was carried out. Results: LDCs do not make use of NCDFs at present. It is considered that this is above all for time constraints, lack of information and location-based problems of fit. This applies for urban as well as rural contexts. Conclusions: LDCs need more attention in public health. Suitable NCDFs have to be located in the LCDs’ residential municipalities and have to fulfill different requirements from those of local caregiving relatives, particularly with regard to purpose and scope.

The exodus from rural areas and subsequent migration into cities results in vacated housing and infrastructure substance, leaving behind valuable assets from a resource as well as building-heritage point of view. At the same time thousands of persons entitled to asylum are distributed on a quota-based and highly regulatory approach over the Austrian municipalities. From a spatial planning as well as from an architectural position, this raises several questions, which have been addressed in a research project funded under the Austrian Ministry of Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs: (1) Can persons entitled to asylum be involved in the upgrading and refurbishment of vacant buildings with the purpose of creating their own living spaces? If so, which conditions are necessary for a successful cooperation? (Strategic point of view). (2) Which requirements must potentially adequate empty buildings fulfil in order to be suitable for this purpose? What are the relevant criteria related to building structure, location and infrastructure in this context? (Object-related point of view). (3) What would be the underlying business model based on a cooperation between local small and medium sized enterprises and persons entitled to asylum? (Economic point of view). The purpose of this paper is to present the different approaches of spatial planning and architecture, resulting in a subsequent common methodological approximation towards the joint topics of rural exodus, conservation of building stock and living space for persons entitled to asylum. Due to the sensitivity of the topic of migration and the complexity of the associated framework conditions, the assessment has been limited to an exemplary case study of a single rural municipality in Austria. The empirical results support the following findings: (1) Persons entitled to asylum are not perceived as a potential target group by the real estate market. (2) The requirements of local companies involved in building refurbishment actions do not match the potential of persons entitled to asylum, both from a quantitative as well as qualitative point of view. (3) The concept of matching rural vacancy and subsequent upgrading as well as refurbishment of buildings and the renewal of village centres in cooperation with persons entitled to asylum is currently not supported by the present legal framework conditions. Developing effective synergies between persons entitled to asylum creating their own living spaces and the declining rural population and subsequent building vacancy in rural Austria necessitates a viable legal, infrastructure related and market driven framework.

Poverty, material deprivation and marginalization are widespread phenomena in rural areas and since the 1980s, the subject of geographical research. In this paper, we combine the (spatial-related) aspects of rural poverty and quality of life when the perception and evaluation of poverty by local decision makers (mayors) is linked to their efforts to keep the municipality vital. The specific focus on the “inner view” on poverty illustrates the complexity of the issue: It is not only the well-known difficulty to identify the extent of rural poverty and deprivation in rural municipalities as statistical data and the “hiddenness” of poor people obstruct an objective view on it but also the individual perception of decision makers. The results from 40 mayors of structurally very weak (rural) municipalities in Austria reveals limitations of political dealings with poverty and marginalization and sets the context for a reinterpretation of public services on the background of the politically much favored civic engagement.

Zusammenfassung In diesem Beitrag wird am Beispiel des Zeit-Hilfs-Netzes Steiermark gezeigt, welchen Mehrwert eine auf dem Prinzip der Zeitbank aufbauende, organisierte Nachbarschaftshilfe für die Lebensqualität der teilnehmenden Personen entfaltet und welchen Beitrag sie im Rahmen der Alltagsorganisation verschiedener Personengruppen leistet. Den Ausgangspunkt des Beitrags bilden die Erkenntnisse aus der international geführten Diskussion um die Wirkungsorientierung von Zeitbanken, denen tendenziell große Bedeutung für die soziale Inklusion, die Festigung der Gemeinschaft, aber auch die Abmilderung der Effekte ökonomischer Benachteiligung zugeschrieben wird. Inwiefern das auch auf das seit dem Jahr 2011 in Österreich existierende Zeit-Hilfs-Netz Steiermark zutrifft, wird quantitativ anhand der Mitglieder-, Angebots- und Nachfrageinserate untersucht. Die flankierende Befragung der für das Netz zuständigen Mitarbeiter der Landentwicklung Steiermark sowie der Koordinatoren der lokalen Zeitbankgruppen und die Auswertung des aktuellsten Ergebnisprotokolls des Netzwerktreffens erlauben es, die qualitative Bedeutung des Netzes einzuschätzen. Die empirischen Befunde zeigen, dass im Zeit-Hilfs-Netz Steiermark tendenziell Frauen und Personen im Alter von 50 bis 69 Jahren engagiert sind, die entfaltete Tauschaktivität jedoch quantitativ unbedeutend ist. Gleichwohl werden in den dezentral organisierten Zeit-Hilfs-Netz-Gruppen einzelfallbezogene Beiträge zur Erleichterung des Alltags und zur Lebensqualität der sich aktiv Beteiligenden geleistet. Der gesellschaftliche Mehrwert hingegen bestimmt sich vorrangig aus dem Engagement in den von den Gruppen organisierten gemeinschaftlichen Tätigkeiten. Damit das Zeit-Hilfs-Netz Steiermark (auch) in Zukunft als flankierendes Angebot in ausgewählten Bereichen der Daseinsvorsorge bestehen kann, braucht es stabile Basisinfrastrukturen auf kommunaler Ebene, eine kontinuierliche professionelle Begleitung und ein klares Leistungsportfolio.

Against the background of aging and the increasing number of persons in need of care on one hand and the decreasing potential of family support on the other hand, in-patient facilities both in rural areas as well as urban areas of Austria receive importance as final residence. The decision on a facility is challenging. That is why the Austrian Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection edits a brochure in three volumes that provides interested persons with information on each residential and nursing home for elderly people. Basing on data from the year 2014, this contribution aims at analysing relevant spatial related information on 885 residential and nursing homes in urban and rural contexts in order to demonstrate how spatial related aspects are considered in the facilities' presentations and how they illustrate the level of community integration of these in-patient offers, to understand facility-specific future plans as well as to reveal important questions and define urgent research demand and to stimulate the interdisciplinary and cross-cutting dialogue.

By now geoinformation is available everytime and modern maps rule our daily life. Whenever we leave our homes, we have made plans where to go to. If it is a new route we have generally used a map (application). We plan the way that we need to take or evaluate the transport network and its connections. If we feel lost, we take another look in the map and/or try to find reference semantics which will bring us back to our geospatial imagery—our individual mental picture of the world. At the same time, in our cross-linked world, we produce tons of unstructured data that describe the way we use our environment (nature, things and people). For example: when do we need electricity? For what actions? How much do we consume to what time of the day or in which situation? Does this electricity usage change with our age, education, employment—or any other demographic value? What is the impact of the surrounding topography on our electricity needs? All these questions can be answered by data that we leave in space with our actions and devices in addition to existing geospatial core data. In order to make use of unstructured data, we have to ask questions which allow for a first requirement analysis and lead to the primary model of data: a first data structure considering our questionnaire requirements. These models are worth distributing because a lot of questions are similar and variety of people could make value out of it. Information about validity, lineage, purpose of creation, recording method, and so on are needed to evaluate the data for specific use cases. This contribution describes a work in progress on the role of Service Oriented Mapping in spatial and regional sciences by means of a use case in health geography. Therefore it follows the thesis that specific requirements for the analysis, regional investigation and knowledge transmission in regional sciences exist. These specific requirements could be extensively supported by the specific structure of Service-Oriented Mapping. Some requirements of regional sciences as well as the offers of Service-Oriented Mapping will be exemplified on the basis of a case study “health geographies”. Future tasks for the field of Service-Oriented Mapping and its communication issues could be elaborated from this first requirements analysis and a main future perspective of “Service-Oriented regional sciences” could be formulated.
