    GLOBAL DIVERSITIES Internal Diversity Iranian Germans Between Local Boundaries and Transnational Capital Sonja Moghaddari mpimmg Global Diversities Series Editors Steven Vertovec Department of Socio-Cultural Diversity Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity Göttingen, Germany Peter van der Veer Department of Religious Diversity Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity Göttingen, Germany Ayelet Shachar Department of Ethics, Law, and Politics Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity Göttingen, Germany Over the past decade, the concept of ‘diversity’ has gained a leading place in academic thought, business practice, politics and public policy across the world. However, local conditions and meanings of ‘diversity’ are highly dissimilar and changing. For these reasons, deeper and more com- parative understandings of pertinent concepts, processes and phenomena are in great demand. This series will examine multiple forms and configu- rations of diversity, how these have been conceived, imagined, and repre- sented, how they have been or could be regulated or governed, how different processes of inter-ethnic or inter-religious encounter unfold, how conflicts arise and how political solutions are negotiated and prac- ticed, and what truly convivial societies might actually look like. By com- paratively examining a range of conditions, processes and cases revealing the contemporary meanings and dynamics of ‘diversity’, this series will be a key resource for students and professional social scientists. It will repre- sent a landmark within a field that has become, and will continue to be, one of the foremost topics of global concern throughout the twenty-first century.

    MASTER’S THESIS M.Sc. Environmental Engineering Success Factors of Integrated Multimodal Mobility Services Analyses of Existing Examples and Recommendations for their Implementation Author Lisa Luginger Matriculation Number: 03610039 Fachgebiet für Siedlungsstruktur und Verkehrsplanung Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gebhard Wulfhorst Technische Universität München MASTER’S THESIS M.Sc. Environmental Engineering Success Factors of Integrated Multimodal Mobility Services Analyses of Existing Examples and Recommendations for their Implementation Author: Lisa Luginger Matriculation Number: 03610039 Supervisor: M.Sc. Montserrat Miramontes Munich, March, 2016 I Abstract Abstract Recently, the implementation of multimodal mobility stations has become more and more widespread all over Germany. Combined with virtual platforms and an integrated tariff they are part of a multimodal mobility service. So far, only few studies concerning multimodal mobility stations and recommendations for their implementation are available. Thus this master’s thesis aims to identify success factors of multimodal mobility offers and hence deliver recommendations for their implementation. A comprehensive literature review on four German case studies – mobil.punkte in Bremen, switchh in Hamburg, EinfachMobil in Offenburg and Leipzig mobil in Leipzig – is performed. In this context, eight tiers of integration are identified: physical, marketing, information, registration, trip planning, booking, access and billing integration. Based on these findings a classification scheme is developed in order to examine the respective integration strategy of the four depicted case studies. According to these results as well as expert interviews, success factors for the implementation of multimodal mobility services are identified. The key success factors concerning the results of the classification scheme are the development of an integrated marketing strategy, the supply of integrated information and the provision of an integrated access medium.
