Spatial Change and Planning
The group aims to provide an integrated understanding of the urban-rural continuum, comprising cities, peri-urban areas and rural districts. Research conducted in the group build on and integrate perspectives from a broad range of disciplines spanning the social, human and natural sciences, including fields such as design research, geography, planning studies, landscape ecology and landscape science. Human’s use and perception of urban and rural landscapes, understanding of places, and place-making play a prominent role in our research.
Specifik themes
Specific themes in the research comprise urban and rural lifestyles and their implications for planning, development of new planning tools for rural areas, climate adaptation, governance of urban and regional development, development and transformation of urban and rural districts, the multifunctional role of agriculture and rural landscapes, terrestrial habitat monitoring, land use / land cover studies, land use modeling, remote sensing of terrestrial environments. We run projects in Denmark, Europe and in developing countries.
Methods and collaboration
Methods for spatial analysis such as landscape character assessment, mapping of ecosystem services and landscape functions and urban environment and urban life play a significant role in studies of spatial development and human use of the environment. Other projects deal with management processes such as spatial planning, governance, involvement of citizens, and not least planning innovation. We often work together with other institutions and actors in landscapes and cities.
