Rationale

Why do you think this case is relevant? What is your hypothesis considering the landscape challenges?

Location and scope

A map showing the scope of your consideration We will allow the wiki to display google maps or open street map, in order to avoid copyright issues with maps

A Landscape System Analysis

A.1 Landscape layers and their system context

Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology

description of evolution, status quo and driving forces, is the coastal typology changing? Why is that? === Land use === (settlements, infrastructure, agriculture, resource extraction, natural areas, energy production) description of evolution, status quo and driving forces, is the land use likely to change? Why is that?

Green/blue infrastructure

What are the major potential elements of a green/blue infrastructure network? Are these likely to change/disappear? Why is that?

Actors and stakeholders

Who is driving changes in this landscape? Who is affected by those changes? Draw a stakeholder and/or power map

Sacred spaces and heritage

Which places/elements hold cultural value and to whom?

Visual appearance and landscape narrative

Which elements are essential for the landscape character? Has the landscape been painted or otherwise depicted, when and whom? Which elements are essential? Which narratives exist? Who has written about this landscape or depicted it in some way?

A.2 Summary of landscape system analysis and Development Targets

DPSI(R) Model /Spider Diagram Linking back to the Sustainable Development Goals: Which goals are at risk? What is your hypothesis for this landscape? Visualise your hypothesis with one graphic/pict Are there existing initiatives that can be quoted here? Critical perspective on that?

A.3 Theory reflection

Students need to reflect on at least three international policy documents in relation to their local landscape case choose one international, one European and one national document

Phase B: Landscape Evaluation and Assessment

B.1 Assessment Strategy

Based on the hypothesis derived from their landscape systems analysis students define the goals for their assessment approach – which elements and phenomena need to be mapped, why and how? Text contribution, max 250 words

B.2 Mapping

As defined by the assessment strategy students conduct mapping and present their maps on the wiki. As a minimum, at least three different themes need to be mapped

B.3 Problem definition and priority setting

Summary of the major findings of the mapping process, what are the problems/potentials identified? Draw a problems/potentials map Set priorities for the most relevant issues

B.4 Theory reflection

Students reflect the assessment and evaluation methods used based on at least three readings, 250 words

Phase C – Strategy and Master Plan

C.1 Goal Setting

Define strategic planning objectives based on the evaluation findings Link back to the original targets (Sustainable Development Goals)

C.2 Spatial Strategy and Transect

Translate your strategic goals into a vision A spatial translation of your vision Exemplify your vision in the form of a transect with concrete interventions Map(s) and visualizations

C.3 From Theory of Change to Implementation

Which partnerships are needed? Which governance model? Who needs to act and how? Draw and explain a change/process model/timeline Which resources are needed? On which assets can you build?

D. Process Reflection

Reflect in your intercultural and interdisciplinary team on the outcomes of your study Which limitations were you facing? What have you learnt from each other? What would you do differently next time? You can also use diagrams/visuals 250 words text
