Bei der Neuansiedlung von Vorhaben möchten Investoren zügig und unkompliziert genau dort ein Planungsvorhaben realisieren, wo sie optimale Standortbedingungen vorfinden. Für viele Kommunen ist eine Neuansiedlung eines großen Unternehmens – wie bspw. eine Ansiedlung des Möbelriesen IKEA – aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen vorteilhaft, weshalb dem Investo...
Article
Water shortage is often a challenge for industrial park developments. To ensure a more sustainable water supply, the Industrial Wastewater Management Concept with a focus on Reuse (IW2MC→R) provides a strategy to meet the challenges. Main requirements to achieve water reuse fit for purpose are optimized wastewater treatment, an optimized sewer and...

Nutzerfreundlichkeit und die Häufigkeit der Nutzung urbaner Grünflächen. Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, wie mit Open Data und Netzwerkanalysen die Erreichbarkeit von Grünflächen kartiert und analysiert werden kann. Aufgrund der kostenfreien Nutzung und weltweiten Verfügbarkeit von Open Data lässt sich diese kosteneffiziente Methode weltweit übertragen....
Chapter
The pressure on available freshwater resources due to urbanization and climate change impacts is increasing worldwide; so follows the need to explore unconventional resources. Water reuse and desalination are viable options for alternative water supplies, also for regions that had no need to consider these approaches in the past. However, these sol...
Article
Wasserknappheit, die aktuell durch den Klimawandel verschärft wird, stellt ländliche Gebiete insbesondere in ariden und semiariden Gegenden vor große Herausforderungen. Wasserressourcen sind oftmals begrenzt, werden aber insbesondere zur Bewässerung landwirtschaftlicher Flächen benötigt. Um den ländlichen Raum künftig zu stärken, ist die Wasserverf...

Due to water scarcity, which is worsening due to climate change, rural areas often face the challenge of rural exoduses. Limited water resources restrict local farmers as the opportunities for cultivation in the fields are reduced. This makes rural areas increasingly unattractive. To strengthen rural areas, sustainable water management with a focus...

Requirements for wastewater management and water-reuse concepts concerning sustainability are gaining greater importance, especially in times of climate change. Industrial park developments are often hindered due to water scarcity. Thus, nowadays, the reuse of wastewater is becoming more and more important to increase the availability of water and...
Article
Full-text available
New industrial and urban developments in water-scarce regions are often inhibited by their high demand for water from natural resources. In addition, there often is a lack of water for purposes that contribute to an improved quality of life, such as urban green spaces. Therefore, the integrated industrial-urban water reuse concept presents a strate...

Water scarcity is a huge challenge for industrial and urban developments. As such developments are based on a secure water supply, strategies to ensure the required water quantities must be put into effect. In this context, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor due to the worsening of pollution and climate change. The integrat...
Conference Paper
In times of climate change, there is more and more emphasis on reducing the use of water from natural resources. As industrial developments are often hindered in water-stressed regions due to their high water requirements, wastewater management concepts with water-reuse opportunities are becoming increasingly important. In particular, the wastewate...
Article
The review of the changes in urban planning of the past 25 years shows that they were particularly influenced by the German reunification and the issues of climate change, demographic change, and globalization of the economy. Because of the required urban restructuring the principles of land use planning were adapted and the planning and implementa...
