Spatial Change and Planning

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.
