| 103-0317-00L | Introduction to Spatial Development and Transformation Only for master students, otherwise a special permisson by the lecturer is required. | 3 credits | 2G | M. Nollert, D. Kaufmann | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The course deals with important theoretical, material and methodical foundations for action and decision-making of spatial relevance. This course discusses central tasks and possible solutions for current and future challenges of spatial development in Switzerland and Europe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Spatial development deals with the development, formation and arrangement of our environment. In order to be able to mediate between the different demands, interests and projects of multiple actors, a forward-looking, action-oriented and robust planning is necessary. It is committed - in the sense of a sustainable spatial development - to the economical handling of resources, in particular of the non-replicable resource soil. The lecture introduces necessary basic knowledge and is based on the following main topics: – Inward development and challenges of spatial transformation – Planning approaches and The (political) steering of spatial development – Interplay of formal and informal processes and processes across different scales of spatial development – Methods of action-oriented planning in situations of insecurity – Integrated space and infrastructure development – Different types of participation in spatial development By taking up the lecture, the students are able to recognize cross-scale, complex tasks of spatial development and transformation and to use their theoretical, methodical and professional knowledge to clarify them. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | - Planning approaches and political organization in Switzerland - Tasks of spatial relevance - Key figures and ratios - Drivers of spatial development - Steering spatial development I: Policy - Steering spatial development II : Formal and informal instruments - Organizing spatial development I: Governance - Organizing spatial development II: Processes and organization - Methods in spatial planning I - Methods in spatial planning II - Planning in complex situations - Participation in spatial development - Present and future core tasks of spatial development | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Learning objective | Aim of the first week is, to give participants a first overview over the programme and the first study project, to clarify the above mentioned topics of the individual positions and expectations towards the course as well as to acquire basic knowledge about teamwork. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 115-0501-00L | Lecture Week 01: Spatial Planning: Tasks and Methods Only for MAS, DAS and CAS in Spatial Planning. | 2 credits | 1G | M. Nollert | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Current and future significant tasks of Spatial Planning in Switzerland. In addition to the existing inner development of settlements, the importance of new challenges such as climate adaptation and the implementation of the mobility turn is rising. What they have in common is the need of methods and instruments for exploring, clarifying and solving complex tasks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The aim of the course is the acquaintance and the comprehension of tasks, methods and instruments of spatial planning in Switzerland and to discuss them in the light of future challenges.In particular, the methodological modules of the course form an essential basis for working on the two study projects of the MAS programme. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | starting point of the course are existing and future spatially significant tasks. In addition to the presentation and description of typical challenges using case studies, the focus is also on the understanding of context and relationships as well as constants and variables of spatial development. Different types of tasks and the resulting consequences for their clarification and solution are also discussed. The tasks are contrasted with a brief overview of existing spatial planning instruments in Switzerland. On the one hand, the aim is to develop a common understanding of the formal and informal procedures and instruments of spatial planning; on the other hand, these are also to be discussed with regard to their effectiveness for current and future challenges. At the centre of the teaching unit is the teaching and methodological basis for exploring, clarifying and solving complex issues. These refer to the questions and pitfalls of perceiving and dealing with complexity, to methodological elements of processes for clarifying difficult spatially significant tasks with a large number of actors involved, as well as methods of situation assessment, design and decision-making as a basis for developing solutions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | A reader with central elements of the course and background information will be provided | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 115-0701-00L | Study Project 1 (Part 1) Only for MAS in Spatial Planning. Project 1 takes 2 semesters, continuation in the following spring semester, taking part 2 is oblligatory. | 0 credits | 10U | M. Nollert, F. Argast, O. Hagen, A. Näf-Clasen, M. Sandtner | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Development of strategies for sustainable development in Basel: spatial planning analysis of the situation (goals and problems, potentials and risks, strengths and weaknesses); concept design (goals and measures); program development (objective and temporal priorities); preparation for implementation (instruments and procedures); .independent group work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Detect, assess and classify the main conflicts of spatial developments and detect need for planning action. Concentrate resources and design and evaluate different solutions and demonstrate their feasibility exemplarily. Recognize possibilities and limits of formal and informal planning and applying them practically. Efficient and interdisciplinary work in groups, using individual knowledge and skills of the group members optimally. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
