Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course offers an introduction to questions of regional development in the different peripheral and rural regions of Austria. We will deal with questions that are region-specific, we will take an in-depth look at regional potentials and institutions and we will analyse how projects are implemented. In doing so, we will draw on perspectives from human, social and economic geography, spatial planning, regional policy and regional development. Essentially we will be dealing with different models of regional development, comparing them (e.g. centre vs. periphery) and discussing current examples of regional development in Austria.
Assessment and permitted materials
Attendance of all appointments, active participation (especially for tracking, in interviews and in conversations/discussions), repetition of relevant literature, short presentation during field trip (including hand-out), written group work.
