    Building back better : the COVID-19 pandemic and transport policy implications for a developing megacity (2022)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-04-14
    Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected human mobility via lockdowns, social distancing rules, home quarantines, and the full or partial suspension of transportation. Evidence-based policy recommendations are urgently needed to ensure that transport systems have resilience to future pandemic outbreaks, particularly within Global South megacities where demand for public transport is high and reduced access can exacerbate socio-economic inequalities. This study focuses on Metro Manila - a characteristic megacity that experienced one of the most stringent lockdowns worldwide. It analyzes aggregated cell phone and GPS data from Google and Apple that provide a comprehensive representation of mobility behavior before and during the lockdown. While significant decreases are observed for all transport modes, public transport experienced the largest drop (-74.5 %, on average). The study demonstrates that: (i) those most reliant on public transport were disproportionately affected by lockdowns; (ii) public transport was unable to fulfil its role as public service; and, (iii) this drove a paradigm shift towards active mobility. Moving forwards, in the short-term policymakers must promote active mobility and prioritize public transport to reduce unequal access to transport. Longer-term, policymakers must leverage the increased active transport to encourage modal shift via infrastructure investment, and better utilize big data to support decision-making.

    Capacity needs assessment in transport innovation living labs : the case of an innovative e-mobility project (2022)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-16
    Description: Cities around the globe are implementing innovative transport solutions as part of measures to address pertinent socio-economic and environmental challenges in urban areas and help drive the transition to low carbon development. Planning and implementing such solutions require an effective and collective approach that includes the needs and aspirations of all relevant stakeholders. In the planning and implementation of urban transport projects, capacity building components have assumed great significance but seem to be the most eluded activity for project implementers. The Living Lab concept, which allows for co-creation in innovation development, presents the opportunity to adopt innovative participatory approach in capacity building activities in transport projects; and is largely seen as a potential catalyst for rapid transformation to low carbon and sustainability transitions in cities. To this end, this paper highlights the usefulness of the Living Lab approach and provides some perspectives on how key elements of the approach are adapted in the process of assessing the capacity needs of nine (9) cities in planning and implementing e-mobility innovations. The cities are participating in an innovation research project. In the case studied, the project’s capacity needs assessment process was analyzed using an assessment framework built on four (4) key elements of the Living Lab approach, namely: extent of real-life contextualization, level of participation, diversity of stakeholders, and the time span of engagement. Insights from the assessment suggest that relevant project partners and city representatives with diverse expertise were actively involved from the onset and throughout the first 5 months of the project in defining and refining the capacity needs of partner cities based on local e-mobility conditions. This co-creative process helped determine priority areas where the need for capacity building mostly lied. Designing and operationalizing capacity building interventions tailored to the identified needs, as realized in the project, could therefore help build the necessary capacity and complement other measures aimed at developing e-mobility in the project’s partner cities.

    Flottenwende : zur Elektrifizierung leichter Nutzfahrzeuge in kommunalen Flotten ; Anforderungen der Praxis (2020)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: Kommunen und kommunale Unternehmen können ihre Vorbildfunktion in einer integrierten Stadt- und Verkehrsplanung nutzen, indem sie die Elektrifizierung ihrer Flotte an leichten Nutzfahrzeugen voranbringen. Das kann die Treibhausgasemissionen und Stickstoffdioxidemissionen mindern und einer nachhaltigen Verkehrsentwicklung dienen. Klimaschutz durch Minderung der Kohlendioxidemissionen und Gesundheitsschutz durch Minderung der Stickstoffdioxidemissionen sind zwei zentrale Gründe für eine Flottenwende - auch bei den leichten Nutzfahrzeugen.

    Organizational resilience : how SUITS' local authorities were prepared to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic (2020)
    Coventry : Coventry University
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: This SUITS policy brief aims to highlight how the transformational process of the nine local authorities involved in SUITS into learning organizations made these cities far better prepared to cope with the challenges due to the pandemic than they would otherwise have been. Due to the higher levels of organizational resilience and the awareness of individuals' importance during such external crises, the nine local authorities were not just trying to react to the unforeseen challenges, but were able to act with a clear pathway and to use their experiences to facilitate their learning from recent years. Of course, the pandemic could not have been foreseen, but as SUITS local authorities are becoming learning organizations, they are enhancing their organizational capacity. In so doing, they have been learning a required resilience to reduce the "complexity and confusion - of what to do best" in the beginning of the crisis and to cope with the challenges. This advantage was of enormous relevance for the local authorities.

    Die Klimaschutzwirkung der Flottenverbrauchsnorm in Deutschland : Möglichkeiten zur Erhöhung der Ambition und flankierende Politikinstrumente (2021)
    Berlin : Forschungsverbund Erneuerbare Energien
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: Im Folgenden wird die Klimaschutzwirkung der aktuellen Flottenverbrauchsnorm der Europäischen Kommission für Deutschland diskutiert und in den Kontext der im Jahr 2020 signifikant angestiegenen Zahl von verkauften Pkw mit Elektromotor gesetzt. Dabei wird die aktuelle Entwicklung der Pkw-Flotte in Deutschland mit mehreren Szenarien verglichen. Erstens wird eine mögliche Verschärfung aktuell gültigen Rechts im Sinne eines European Green Deal angedacht. Zweitens wird dieser eher technische Zugang verglichen mit der Möglichkeit, durch Vermeidung und Verlagerung auf Fahrten mit dem Pkw zu verzichten. Drittens wird die Rolle von Plug-In-Hybriden diskutiert. Auf dieser Basis werden Politikempfehlungen ausgesprochen, wie die Flottenverbrauchsnorm weiterentwickelt werden kann, um die Klimaschutzambition zu erhöhen.

    Benchmark: climate and environmentally friendly urban passenger transport : the concepts of the European Green Capitals 2010-2020 (2020)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-18
    Description: It has been widely recognized that there is an urgent need for more sustainable urban transport policy and planning. To understand ambitious policy approaches, "relatively successful" cities are regularly subject of analyses. This paper also focuses on relatively successful cities - by reviewing the application documents of the winner cities of the European Green Capital Award (EGCA). Award schemes not only aim to reward leading participants, but likewise aim to contribute to knowledge transfer and the dissemination of good practice examples to non-participants. So far award schemes and good practice approaches have received limited attention by research. This paper reviews and analyses the application forms of the EGCA winning cities to learn about ambitious policy approaches to sustainable and climate-friendly urban transport.

    Moore und Torfe in der Bodenkunde: neuere Aspekte (2022)
    In:  Herausgeberexemplar
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-01-08
    Description: Im Hinblick auf die Moore und ihre bodenkundliche Kartierung sind in der letzten (3.) Auflage der Bodenkundlichen Kartieranleitung noch nicht alle bodensystematischen und Ansprache-Probleme zufriedenstellend gelöst. Einer erneuten Diskussion bedürfen (1.) die Berücksichtigung pedogener Profildifferenzierungen in unentwässerten und vor allem in entwässerten (bis degradierten) Mooren sowie (2.) die Frage der Aufgliederung von Mooren bzw. Torfen nach ihrer Azidität (und/oder Trophie), dieses nicht zuletzt hinsichtlich der Praktikabilität ihrer Ansprache bei Kartierungen. An Hand eigener Erfahrungen und neuerer Literatur wird zu diesen Problemkreisen Stellung genommen, und es wird die Richtung angedeutet, in der die Lösungen gesucht werden müssen. Die im Beitrag erörterten Tatsachen und Gesichtspunkte – z.T. schon vor längerer Zeit zusammengestellt – haben Ausgangspunkte für Diskussionen geliefert, die im Hinblick auf eine Neufassung der Moorkapitel der Bodenkundlichen Kartieranleitung sowie der zugrunde liegenden Bodensystematik seit 1988 stattgefunden haben und deren Ergebnisse demnächst veröffentlicht werden sollen.
    Description: In the third edition of the German Soil Survey Manual (Bodenkundliche Kartieranleitung, 1982) some problems concerning peatlands and peatland mapping have not been resolved sufficiently. This applies to peat type identi-fication and to several aspects of general peatland and peat classification. There are two main problems which need new discussions: (1) the variety in profiles, caused by extremely differing pedogenous processes, of virgin and especially of drained mires, (2) the classification of mires or peats in respect to their acidity or trophic conditions considering above all the possibilities to identify the types under field conditions in soil mappings. These problems are reviewed on the basis of recent literature and in the light of the author’s own experience, and directions of possible solutions are suggested. The quoted facts, most of which were presented some time ago, yielded the starting point for discussions in the DGMT (German Peat Science Society) on a revised text of the mire and peat sections of the Soil Survey Manual and their basic soil classification, the results of which will be published in the near future.

    Zur Gliederung und Ansprache mitteleuropäischer Torfe (Vorschläge für die 4. Auflage der Bodenkundlichen Kartieranleitung) (2022)
    In:  Herausgeberexemplar
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-01-08
    Description: Für den Abschnitt "Torfe" der Bodenkundlichen Kartieranleitung, deren 4. Auflage zur Zeit vorbereitet wird, wurde ein neuer Textvorschlag erarbeitet, der hiermit vorgelegt wird. Behandelt werden darin 1) die unterschiedlichen Klassifikationsmöglichkeiten der Torfe auf "botanischer" Grundlage (in den Torfen vertretene Pflanzenreste) sowie im Hinblick auf (primäre) bodenkundlich-chemische Eigenschaften (Basen- und pH-Verhältnisse), 2) die wichtigsten im Gelände ansprechbaren Pflanzenreste und ihre Merkmale, 3) die Zuordnung von verbreiteten botanisch charakterisierten Torfarten (oder "Torfarteneinheiten") zu den bodenkundlichen "Torfartengruppen" Hoch-, Übergangs- und Niedermoortorf an Hand einer Tabelle. Das entscheidende Kriterium für die Zuordnung zum Hochmoortorf ist das ausschließliche Vorkommen der Reste von Hochmoorpflanzen (diese werden im einzelnen aufgeführt). Übergangsmoortorfe sind durch die Reste von Pflanzenarten ausgezeichnet, die an basen- und nährstoffärmere Standorte außerhalb von Hochmooren gebunden sind (neben ihnen können aber auch Hochmoorpflanzen-Reste vertreten sein). Niedermoortorfe sind charakterisiert durch Reste basen- und nährstoffanspruchsvoller Arten (neben denen auch Reste anspruchsloserer Arten vertreten sein können).
    Description: Proposals are given for a new text of the section "Peat" of the German Soil Mapping Instruction, the 4th edition of which is now under preparation. The topics dealt with are as follows: 1. The different possibilities of classification of peat: on "botanical" basis (their contents of plant remains) and with respect to (primary) chemico-pedological characteristics (base and pH conditions). 2. The characteristics of the most common plant remains identifiable in the field. 3. The assignment of widespread botanical peat types to the three pedological peat groups: raised-bog peat, transitional-mire peat, and fen peat (shown by a table). The criterion decisive on the assignment of a given peat to raised-bog peat is the exclusive occurrence of remains of raised-bog plants (these are quoted in detail). Transitional-mire peats are distinguished by remains of plant species, which are restricted to sites poor in bases and nutrients (beyond the raised bogs, however), besides of them also raised-bog plant remains may be present. Fen peats are characterized by remains of base and nutrient demanding species (besides of them also remains of plants of poorer sites, but not of raised bogs may be present).

    Moore und Moor-Naturschutzgebiete in Deutschland ‒ eine Bestandsaufnahme (2022)
    In:  SUB Göttingen | ZA 34278
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-01-08
    Description: Im vorliegenden Artikel wird über deutsche Naturschutzgebiete berichtet, die wenigstens teilweise Moorflächen enthalten; "Moor" wird hier im geologisch-bodenkundlichen Sinn als Gebiet mit einer Torfdecke von mindestens 30 cm verstanden. Die Zahlen solcher Moor-Naturschutzgebiete der einzelnen Bundesländer sind in Tabelle 2 zusammengestellt. Dabei wurden Naturschutzgebiete, die Hochmoorflächen ‒ gleich, welcher Größe ‒ enthalten, und Gebiete mit ausschließlich Niedermoorvorkommen (vielfach neben Mineralbodenflächen) getrennt erfaßt. Außer Zahlen für die Gegenwart (1992 bis 1996‚ je nach dem Jahr der in den einzelnen Ländern zugrundeliegenden Erhebungen) wurden die entsprechenden Daten auch für 1970 und 1945 wiedergegeben, und es wurde versucht, einige allgemeine Züge hinsichtlich der regionalen Verteilung sowie der Zeitpunkte der Ausweisungen herauszuarbeiten. Ergänzend werden einige neue Zahlen über die Gesamt-Moorflächen der einzelnen Bundesländer genannt (Kapitel 2) sowie einige Tatsachen über die Anfänge und die weitere Entwicklung des Moor-Naturschutzes in Deutschland seit der Jahrhundertwende wiedergegeben (Kapitel 3.2). Ein Anhang (Kapitel 5) enthält Details über die Moor-Naturschutzgebiete, teilweise auch über die Gesamt-Moorflächen der einzelnen Bundesländer.
    Description: The paper deals with German nature-reserves containing peatland areas in at least some proportion. Peatland is meant here in the sense of areas with a peat cover of more than 30 cm thickness. The numbers and total areas of these "peatland nature-reserves” of the different German Federal States are listed in table 2. Here a distinction is made between nature-reserves containing larger or smaller proportions of ombrotrophic mires (bogs) and others which only comprise minerotrophic mires (fens), both of them in many cases amongst the mire areas with mineral soils too. The numbers and areas are given not only for present days (i.e. the years between 1992 and 1996, varying in the single States) but also for 1970 and 1945. It is tried to work out some general features with regard to the regional distribution of the peatland nature-reserves as well as to the times of their establishment. In addition, some new data on the total peatland areas of the single German Federal States are quoted (chapter 2) and some facts are compiled on the beginnings and development of mire conservation activities in Germany since the turn of our century (chapter 3.2). In an appendix (chapter 5) details on peatland nature-reserves, in part also on peatland areas of the different German Federal States are given.
