Challenges of Urban and Rural Transformation Dear ISSRM Participants: On behalf of IASNR and the local organizing team from Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), we would like to extend a warm welcome to you! We have tried to deliver an exciting scientific program at the always dynamic interface of natural resources and society along with social events that enable you to enjoy some of the sights of Hannover and Northern Germany. Although traditionally strong in engineering, LUH has had a remarkable track record in the field of natural resource management and society. Eduard Pestel, who would have celebrared his 100th birthday just the week prior to the ISSRM conference, was not only one of the founders of the Club of Rome, but also a professor at this university. In addition, LUH is considered the birthplace of modern landscape planning and nature conservation concepts after 1945, influencing research in the field that decades later was named „ecosystem services.“ The City of Hannover with its manyfold approaches to become one of the world‘s most sustainable cities provides a great backdrop for all of this. In continuation of this spirit, we hope that this year‘s ISSRM conference will bring you new insights, new ideas and an expansion of your personal networks. Thank you very much for attending and please provide us with feedback about your conference experience! Your Conference Planning Committee Christina von Haaren Sylvia Herrmann Angelika Lischka Eick von Ruschkowski 3 ISSRM 2014 Hannover About our Partners Leibniz Universität Hannover In 1831, founded by the scholar Karl Karmarsch, the “Higher Trade School of Hannover” started with only 64 students. Today there are around 24,000 students in the natural sciences and engineering, the humanities and social sciences as well in law and economics. The universality and inspiration of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who’s life was associated with Hannover, have created an example and set a commitment for Leibniz Universität Hannover. We stand for excellence in teaching and research, and attach great importance to the interdisciplinary and international character of our work. We see ourselves as a community striving for scientific and academic insight, seeking sustainable, peaceful and responsible solutions to central issues concerning the future. Our work is thus guided by the motto: Shaping the Future with Knowledge. Institute for Environmental Planning The focus of our research and teaching is twofold: (a) the comprehensive protection of nature and the environment and (b) the coordination and moderation of various land use demand, while ensuring sustainable development. We deal with diverse issues, such as species and biotope protection, methods for ecosystems’ analysis, landscape aesthetics, site adapted recreation, the legal and economical instruments of nature protection, the instruments and strategies of regional planning and development as well as implementation and public participation for regional planning. Such issues as planning communication for flood protection or the use of renewable energy are handled together with other institutes of the Leibniz Universität Hannover. The wide variety of subjects dealt with by this institute allows for a fast reaction to new research areas, which develop from scientific discussion or from social interest. Interdisciplinary research and the practical application of research results are important foundations of our work. Research Initiative TRUST- Transdiciplnary Rural and Urban Transformation The research initiative TRUST – Transdisciplinary rural and urban spatial transformation combines researchers of 15 institutes from 7 faculties of Leibniz Universität Hannover. TRUST aims to establish innovative research for spatial transformation in order to cope with the challenges linked to the current megatrends such as climate change, urbanization, energy demand and an increasing land-use competition with a specific spatial focus. Finding integrated solutions is necessary, in which technical, social, natural and planning sciences are equally involved. Based on common research projects, specific training for PhD students and post-docs and first steps towards common teaching activities, TRUST establishes an interdisciplinary expert cluster to provide innovative approaches for a sustainable management of spatial transformation processes. ARL - Academy for Spatial Research and Planning Founded in 1946, the Founded in 1946, the Academy for Spatial Research and Planning (ARL ®) is a research institute for the spatial sciences performing service functions in both fundamental and applied areas of research. The principal function of the ARL is to be a forum to promote co-operation both between theory and practice and among regions. A member of the Leibniz Association, the ARL is a self-governing body under public law performing a role of supra- regional importance within Germany and of scientific value for the nation. It is funded jointly by the Federal and Land governments. IASNR - International Association for Society and Natural Resources First came the symposium; once attendees of the early International Symposia on Society and Resource Management (ISSRM) realized the symposia filled a niche, they recommenden starting a journal to support international disciplinary research and policy analysis. That journal, Society and Natural Resources, is now in its 23rd year of publication and has grown four issues a year to 12 issues a year. With a symposium and journal in hand attendees urged the formation of a professional association. The resulting organization is the International Association for Society and Natural Resources (IASNR) established in 2001. IASNR is an interdisciplinary professional association open to individuals who bring a variety of social science ans natural science backgrounds to bear on research and application strategies pertaining to the environment and natural resource issues. The official meetings, the International Symposia on Society and Resource Management, are held annually. 4 ISSRM 2014 Hannover Conference Planning Committee Christina von Haaren Sylvia Herrmann Angelika Lischka Eick von Ruschkowski Department of Environmental Planning Leibniz Universität Hannover Scientific Committee Christian Albert - Leibniz Universität Hannover Gregory G.

The university was founded as the “Higher Trade School of Hannover” in 1831 and started with only 64 students. Today there are around 22,000 students in the natural sciences and engineering, the humanities and social sciences as well in law and economics. Today, LUH is among Europe’s leading technical universities and a member of the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research (CESAER). The university campus is located in walking distance from the city center and also lies adjacent to the Royal Baroque Gardens of Herrenhausen. As a matter of fact, a former castle of the House of Guelph has served as the university’s main building since 1879. The main building hosts several lecture halls, the largest of which (called “Audimax”) will be used for the conference opening and the key note sessions. The parallel sessions will be held
