1240 | 417 | Caring for the park – testing a living lab approach to enable nature connectedness in order to address challenges of urban greenspace governance | Ashita Gupta; Katharine Willis

Green Infrastructure, particularly public greenspaces such as urban parks, play an important role in urban environments. Recognising the barriers to equitable access and the need for improving participation in greenspace governance in view of increasingly restricted local authority budgets and consequent challenges around greenspace provision and management, enhancing public engagement in greenspace practices and encouraging environmental stewardship can help address some of the challenges of greenspace governance(Geddes, 2006; Martin et al., 2020; Mathers, Dempsey & Molin, 2015). Recent literature has referred to theories of place indicating the potential of citizen science in fostering environmentally-responsible behaviours, such as voluntary stewardship and involvement in national/local environmental policy concerns (Day et al.,2022; Haklay,2013; Toomey et al.,2020). We identify a gap in research as to whether participation in citizen science projects can enhance connections between people and place and encourage better community participation in the stewardship of parks and urban greenspaces. This research adopts a Living Lab approach to utilise the community’s local intelligence in developing digital experiments in the pilot site using a Nature Data Probe toolkit and seeks to explore its potential for enhancing nature-connectedness by revealing hidden nature. We describe an action research method working with 126 participants from a secondary school close to a large urban park in Plymouth, UK. The findings suggest a deeper awareness of the natural environment was created. Analysis of qualitative data gathered around awareness/consciousness of natural environment revealed participants were more observant of hidden nature post-intervention, with an increase in the number of participants and the specific and descriptive responses identifying nature. In summary, we discuss the implications of research outcomes as a pathway to increasing participation in greenspace.

1240 | 813 | Young People and Climate Crisis in Four City Regions in Europe: Reflections on Creative and Mixed Methods | Prof Frances Fahy; Dr Kathy Reilly; Bronagh Dillon (PhD Candidate)


This paper offers critical reflections on a transdisciplinary research project (CCC-CATAPULT) adopting a mixed method approach to explore young peoples’ experiences of and learning around climate crisis in four European city regions (Bristol, UK; Galway, Ireland; Genoa, Italy; and Tampere, Finland). Underpinned by a co-production and creative research design, with a phased and sequential data collection process, CCC-CATAPULT incorporated an extensive survey completed by young people in each city region, to capture a snapshot of youth experiences and understandings of climate crisis across a variety of scales. This was followed by focus groups with young people, interviews with teachers and other supporters of learning, and creative narrative workshops. The overall project responds to an urgent need to include the voice of young people when planning for climate change in European cities (and beyond). The paper considers this creative and mixed method approach in relation to the specificity of place and context, exploring the situated nature of data collection with a view to providing practical insight on the challenges of developing a comparative research project across four city regions in Europe

1240 | | Co-creative methodologies and Challenge Based Learning for sustainable urbanities in the Anthropocene | Federica Burini (1); Marco Picone (2)

The challenges of urbanization in the Anthropocene correspond both to new fields of research and to new frontiers in training in order to foster a change in the theory, methodologies and practices of urban geography, planning, landscaping, etc.
Scientific research from different disciplinary backgrounds proves that human beings are capable of triggering reactions in bio-physical systems which lead to a critical evolution of the environment and a questioning of the habitability of the earth. What scholars propose to call the Anthropocene is therefore the era in the history of the anthropization of the Earth, where human beings become a force acting irreversibly on the entire planet (Steffen et al., 2011). We therefore observe the upheavals of what geographers call the ecumene, i.e. the space inhabited by human beings. This space is increasingly urban in its nature, regardless of the places it produces. This leads to a real “planetary urbanization”, observed since the 1950s, which is the vector for the acceleration of the entry into the Anthropocene (Brenner, Schmid, 2015), facing an impressive challenge engaging human and non-human agents, pushing to the creation of the concept of “Urbanocene” by geographer Michel Lussault (2013; 2017).
The session invites to reflect on the links between urbanization and Anthropocene, focusing on the need of adopting co-creative methodologies in urban design and planning and on teaching methodologies able to face these complex urban challenges among younger generations. This is the case of Challenge Based Learning (CBL), a teaching methodology focusing on relevant real-life authentic challenges to trigger learning and combining the offer of hard and soft skills, responding to specific needs coming directly from society (Van den Beemt et al., 2022). This is made possible through the adoption of a student-oriented approach within collaborative learning techniques (Barkley et al., 2004) and citizen science (Vohland et al. 2021), where students become the main protagonists of a multi-disciplinary teaching, together with academics and local stakeholders (van Karnenbeeka, Janssen-Jansenb, Peel, 2022).
The session invites scholars, at a doctoral and senior level, to discuss about the importance of multilevel co-creative planning and CBL methods around different topics and scales of application. The session is organized by Federica Burini (University of Bergamo, Italy), together with Marco Picone (University of Palermo, Italy). The organizers would like to invite two key-note speakers who could introduce the session – Michel Lussault (Ecole Urbaine de Lyon) and Christian Schmid (ETH Zurich) – in order to open the session to researchers presenting a variety of approaches in co-creative planning and to analyze different methodologies connected to Challenge Based Learning at different scales for planning sustainable urbanities. After the conference, selected papers will be proposed for a collective publication.

1215 | 558 | Spatial accessibility to rail network and local demographic trajectories: the case of Romania (1856-2022) | Mihail Eva

This work investigates historical railways of Romania from the middle of the XIXth century up to the present with the purpose of assessing changes in spatial accessibility to rail services and its impact on the demographic trajectories of rural areas. Spatial accessibility to train stations is computed using GIS tools for each decade from 1860 up to the present, whilst the impact of spatial accessibility on demographic trajectories is assessed for each intercensal-period from 1912 to 2022. The latter is done only for some of the railway lines inaugurated during the last century by employing “before and after” comparisons. The statistical association between changes in accessibility to train stations and demographic trajectories is afterwards explored using regressions analysis (between changes in spatial accessibility indices to train stations and changes in local population). The results suggest a generally strong relationship between rail accessibility and demographic trajectories of localities during the last century, but also a relationship that changes significantly throughout history, especially when one compares the inter-war period, the communist period and the post-communist period.

1209 | 857 | Socio-environmental conflicts related to forest protection in Kenya. | Valerio Bini

The contribution analyzes the conflicts between forest protection initiatives and local community strategies in Kenya. Kenya’s forests have received attention in recent years from the national government and public and private actors at the international scale, particularly in the context of carbon offsetting initiatives (REDD+ and voluntary projects). Population growth and the intensification of compensation initiatives through reforestation and forest protection are likely to produce a scenario of land use competition and thus increasing conflict. _x000D_
With the Forest Act of 2005, the government has provided for forms of local community participation (Community Forest Associations; Participatory Forest Management Plans) in forest management, but these practices present several difficulties: among others, the decisive role of technicians, high costs, and government resistance to effectively integrate local communities’ priorities. In order to contain the growing conflict, therefore, it is necessary to overcome a perspective and narrative centered on the idea of transferring negative externalities to an international scale and to integrate the perspective of local communities in a different and more substantive way._x000D_
Adopting a political ecology perspective, the research aims to reflect around three axes of inquiry: questioning the rationality of carbon offsetting, in its scientific (real possibilities of greenhouse gas absorption) and political dimensions (offloading on weaker communities of problems produced in wealthy societies); debating the relationship between national government and local communities within conservation initiatives, with particular reference to REDD initiatives; and discussing the evolving scenarios of local community livelihood strategies, observing their problems and innovative potential._x000D_

1209 | | Looking beyond the causes – Understanding and managing land use conflicts | Koch Larissa (1); Fienitz Meike (1)

Land is an essential but limited commodity. Food production, energy production, infrastructures, housing, but also nature conservation as well as the mitigation and adaptation to climate change are just some examples for the numerous human activities and policy objectives that require land. Since many of these land uses are mutually exclusive or involve trade-offs about their services, conflicts about what land should be used in which way and by whom arise frequently.
Sectoral solutions and single activities are not suited to address complex land use conflicts. Instead, integrated policy and planning and participatory approaches in governance and management are increasingly applied, bringing together actors from diverse backgrounds and with diverging interests. Theoretic models for participatory processes are often guided by an underlying liberal democratic understanding, acknowledging the diversity and breadth of different interests and perspectives, yet also assuming that if all interests are taken together, the actors involved can develop a harmonic community free from conflicts.
In this session, we question this assumption and place actors’ interactions in conflicts at the center of discussions. We regard disagreements, struggles and conflicts over objectives and means as inevitable in land management and governance. Therefore, we aim to discuss alternative conceptual models and empirical investigations that promote constructive ways of handling conflicts. We would thus like to concentrate less on the diverse causes for conflicts, but rather focus on the conflict dynamics, the causes for different courses of conflicts, and how actors deal with conflicts. We welcome contributions that address any of the following or related questions.  
Courses of conflicts:

How do land use conflicts evolve?
How do actors in land use conflicts act and interact?
What causes different dynamics in land use conflicts?
What affects actors’ behavior in these conflicts?
What narratives underpin conflicts/ what narratives do actors use?

The notion of place, the meaning of land and identity: 

How is the notion of place linked to conflicts between different land users?
How do different meanings of land from actors in interaction affect conflict dynamics?
How do actors’ identities linked to different land uses influence (courses of) conflicts?

Conflict management:

Which conditions, governance or management approaches can foster positive, constructive ways of handling land use conflicts?
What narratives enable constructive ways of dealing with diverging land use aims?
What is good practice for just consideration processes?

Research methods:

What research methods can be used to study actor’s interaction in conflicts?
The session would be held in English. We envisage to have a session with individual presentations and discussions.

1209 | 130 | Latent, collaborative, or escalated conflict? Determining causal pathways that lead to different conflict dynamics in land use conflicts through crisp-set QCA | Meike Fienitz, Rosemarie Siebert

Land use conflicts can present a tedious burden to land management processes, but they also fulfill important social functions. Instead of trying to avoid all conflicts, we thus need to learn how to handle conflicts in ways that diminish their negative impacts and enhance their positive functions. However, a comprehensive understanding of the causes of different dynamics in land use conflicts is presently missing. Thus, the aim of this paper is to explore the configurations of conditions that explain latent, collaborative, and escalated dynamics in land use conflicts. To achieve this, we apply crisp-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (csQCA) to 37 land use conflicts in the city of Cottbus and the surrounding Spree-Neiße administrative district in the East of Germany. We detect six causal pathways: two each that explain latent, collaborative, and escalated outcomes. Moreover, willingness to cooperate is identified as a necessary condition for collaborative conflicts and sufficient resources as necessary for escalation. These results provide a first step in developing a theoretical explanation of land use conflicts’ dynamics, but they are also of practical relevance, informing policy-makers, planners, and land-users how to foster collaborative dynamics in land use conflicts.

1209 | 481 | What triggers residents’ negative perspective on a public space redesign? The socio-psychological embeddedness of conflicts. | Anke Klaever und Katharina Götting

Public space redesign projects contribute to the transport transition. Often, these redesign projects reallocate public space from motorized to active transport and leisure activities. Whereas some residents accept and enjoy the changes, others react with skepticism and rejection. Different interests, needs and values clash concerning the reallocation. The reactions to reallocation are often emotional and rooted in an affective automotive culture. Thus, experiencing reallocation of public space causes conflicts on the local level._x000D_
To better understand the motives behind critical opinions and resulting conflicts, we propose a socio-psychological embeddedness framework for conflict dimensions of public space redesign projects. Using a redesign of a public square in Berlin, we systematically analysed the conflicts and their embeddedness. Interviewees were recruited in the neighbourhood surrounding the square. The sample includes critical residents who shared their perceptions in in-depth interviews. Using deductive-inductive qualitative content analysis based on Gläser und Laudel (2009), 25 in-depth interviews were conducted and evaluated._x000D_
We classified three conflict dimensions, namely procedural, distributional and identity conflicts. Procedural conflicts emerged with emotions of frustration and anger. Interests on how the process should be designed did not vary much. In contrast, distributional conflicts evolved from different interests of how the space should be used. Within the distributional conflicts we further identified the values of conservation, self-enhancement, openness to change and self-transcendence. Identity conflicts came along different interests and values between actor groups as well as within individuals themselves. According to an agonistic understanding of democracy, these findings point to ways in which the occurring conflicts around redesign projects can be integrated and steered into a productive way of transforming public space. _x000D_

1209 | 713 | Making contentious land-use measures more likely to be implemented – experience from Norway | Anders Tønnesen 1, Tom Rye 2, Monica Guillen-Royo 1


In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the current combined nature and climate crisis. Land-use changes are at the heart of all these challenges and in 2022, the United Nations confirmed a target for the conservation of 30 per cent of the earth’s surface (ocean and land). Strong land use measures are thus required to reduce land take and conserve nature areas. However, measures seeking to restrict or steer land use are typically contested, given the many interests involved – different levels of government with different legal powers to regulate land use; residents; and private landowners and developers. _x000D_

. 2020). However, between 1990-2019 built-up areas have increased by an average of 50 km2 per year (Søgaard et al. 2021), accounting for 4% of the country’s emissions (Norwegian Environment Agency 2023). In an attempt to reverse this trend, 42 municipalities (out of a total of 356) have, since 2019, decided to formally implement the radical policy principle of land-use neutrality. In theory, this means that no new land is to be taken into use or, if this is done, other currently developed land of equivalent area must be converted back to nature. In this explorative research, based on interviews and document studies, we look at the case of one Norwegian municipality, and its experience of trying to make this radical measure less contentious while still being effective in reducing land take and restoring nature. We apply integrative governance as theoretical framework, focusing on relationships between governance instruments and systems (Visseren-Hamakers, 2018). We ask: What are the key factors that facilitate the implementation of restrictive land-use measures at the municipal level?_x000D_
