DE-6.2 :: Land Use Evaluation Methods

There is also a demand in the methods of sustainable evaluation for a continual and future-oriented dynamic of analysis and evaluation.
• How can analysis and evaluation methods be dynamically organized and monitoring systems and statistics be adapted to this to enable a continual process of sustainability evaluation? (Keyword of follow-up monitoring)
• How can ecological, social (including cultural) and economic evaluation methods be integrated and what potentials are offered by the concept of ecosystem services and where are the gaps?
• How can concepts such as resiliency, sufficiency, vulnerability be integrated into the evaluation of sustainability?
• How can various timescales (long-term, short-term) be integrated into the sustainability effects of land use decisions?
• How can various spatial scales (landscape, region, nation, Europe...) be integrated into the sustainability effects of land use decisions?
• How can external development trends (politics, for example organic economic strategy, demography, demand and costs, technological development) be better anticipated for and their effect upon the small scale be analyzed? What interdependencies exist?
• What potentials are there to use the analysis of historical land use and development for improved future-oriented sustainability strategies?
• How can methods be designed so that the participation of the public is possible?
