Climate assessments in spatial planning and development
Abstract
The applied research project aims to develop concrete solutions for integrating climate change adaptation measures into spatial planning in Vorarlberg and to derive recommendations for comparable use cases in Austrian planning law. Based on high-resolution climate analysis and planning information maps at regional level (Rhine Valley), which are available for the first time in Austria, specific development areas (vacancies, brown fields, settlement expansion areas) are examined for their bioclimatic assessment and targeted adaptation measures are derived from them. The project examines how the information from these climate analyzes and planning advice maps can be translated into adaptation measures and determinations at the municipal or regional level and what adjustments need to be made in spatial planning instruments or planning law. The focus is not on adaptation measures in the existing settlements, but on development areas for which future development and use should take into account the climate analyses. The research project can draw on the results of a current project in Vorarlberg (climate analyzes in connection with the creation of the Rhine Valley 5th Generation agglomeration program).
