  • Online Story: Meet Your Neighbour – Young European Adults German
    Online story: Meet Your Neighbour – Young European Adults German contribution: It’s a rainy day in the south of Germany in the city of gold, Pforzheim. It's the beginning of July. As a German student you don`t know what to do in a weather like this - especially two weeks before the long summer holiday of six weeks - because usually at this time of the year the weather is quite good. Sarah has to get up early at 6am, five days a week. The 17-years-old girl eats her sausages, leaves the house at 7 am, like every morning. She is walking along the biggest river of Pforzheim, the Enz, like every morning. While she is looking at the running water, she is thinking about how to escape from her daily life into an exciting adventure. Suddenly, when she sees a poster of “The Economist” she is jerked out of her thoughts: “Oh…, my English homework, I wanted to reread my summary!” During her walk to school she takes out her homework and reads through it. It reads like this: ”The article is about the migration of workers from Romania and Bulgaria to rich countries in the EU after restrictions on the free movement of workers were lifted on January 1st 2014. Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Austria are afraid of the consequences of unrestricted migration. The press and the public worry how many migrants will come. Will they take away low skill jobs? Will this create tensions? Will begging and sleeping rough shoot up, especially in big or industrial cities? Will the immigrants live off the black market, begging and petty crime? Will they be a burden on the welfare state by demanding access to social benefits? For the first time there is a mixture of anti-EU feelings and anti-immigration feelings.

  • Development Concept River Alpine Rhine
    DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT RIVER ALPINE RHINE Zarn Benno1 THE RIVER ALPINE RHINE At Reichenau the Upper Rhine and Lower Rhine join and form the River Alpine Rhine (Fig. be- low). It mouths after 90 km into the Lake of Constance and drainages a catchment area of 6123 km2, which is situated in Switzerland (Cantons Grisons, St. Gallen and Ticino), in Austria (State of Vorarlberg), in Principality of Liechtenstein and in Italy. At the mouth of the Lake of Con- stance the mean annual discharge lies at 230 m3/s. The 100-year flood amounts in this reach to 3’100 m3/s. Fig.1: Overview over the River Alpine Rhine 1 Dr. Benno Zarn, dipl. Bau-Ing. ETH, [email protected], HUNZIKER, ZARN & PARTNER AG, VIA FLUCS 10, CH- 7013 DOMAT/EMS – 440 – – 441 – BASIC INVESTIGATION Before the work for the Development Concept started, comprehensive investigations in different fields were carried out. The most important studies were about hydrology, morphology and sedi- ment budget, damage risk at events higher than the design discharge, development of the River Rhine Valley, river and fish ecology, turbidity and daily discharge change due to hydro power and renaturation and hydro power. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Development Concept was developed in a participatory planning process. The comparison of the actual state of the Alpine Rhine with the aims showed the need of action. An overview of the investigations of flood protection, river ecology, groundwater, and “live and work” was the basis. The Development Concept recommends a strategy and measures, which can summarised into six different measure types: river bed widening, improving fish wandering, reduction of the daily discharge change due to hydro power, hydro power, riverine zone, emergency release in case of events higher than the design discharge.

  • Richtplan Kanton St.Gallen
    Kanton St.Gallen Richtplan Kanton St.Gallen Amt für Raumentwicklung und Geoinformation Stand April 2021 Informationen Raumentwicklungsstrategie Siedlung V Natur und Landschaft VI Verkehr VII Versorgung und Entsorgung Karte I Informationen I 11 Einleitung I 12 Übersicht Koordinationsblätter und Karte I 13 Stand der Richtplanung Einleitung I 11 Einleitung Auftrag Das Instrument des kantonalen Richtplans ist mit dem Bundesgesetz über die Raumplanung (SR 700; abgekürzt RPG) vom 22. Juni 1979 eingeführt worden. Mit der Revision des RPG – in Kraft seit Mai 2014 – wurde die Rolle des Richt- plans im Bereich der Siedlungsentwicklung präzisiert und verstärkt. Der kantonale Richtplan ist nach Art. 9 Abs. 3 RPG in der Regel alle zehn Jah- re gesamthaft zu überprüfen und nötigenfalls anzupassen. Der erste Richtplan wurde am 27.
