“…4). These are: system and goal definition, definition of context scenarios, system analysis, projection phase, and local and multiscale scenario selection and interpretation phase (Spoerri et al 2009). In addition, we combined the FSA with a functional-dynamic approach to transdisciplinary processes (Stauffacher et al 2008, Krütli et al 2010, Trutnevyte et al 2011T.…”

“…Because of the positive economic development and the care for the cultural heritage there is a high quality of life and the population (distribution) remains more or less constant over time. http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol18/iss2/art43/ and Tietje 2002, Spoerri et al 2009). The values (not shown in Figure 5) are not to be understood in absolute terms; rather, they indicate the relative activity/passivity of the respective factors.…”

“…Derived from Figure 5, three impact factors, i.e., spatial planning, budget, and demographic development, were counted as active and represented control factors for system regulations (for all the characterizations of these categories see Spoerri et al 2009). This result mirrored the perspective of the local stakeholders and was plausible, for instance, when considering the central role of the zoning plan, a spatial planning measure of the communities.…”

ABSTRACT. Alpine regions in Europe, in particular, face demanding local challenges, e.g., the decline in the agriculture and timber industries, and are also prone to global changes, such as in climate, with potentially severe impacts on tourism. We focus on the Visp region in the Upper Valais, Switzerland, and ask how the process of stakeholder involvement in research practice can contribute to a better understanding of the specific challenges and future development of mountainous regions under global change. Based on a coupled human-environment system (HES) perspective, we carried out a formative scenario analysis to develop a set of scenarios for the future directions of the Visp region. In addition, we linked these regional scenarios to context scenarios developed at the global and Swiss levels via an external consistency analysis. This method allows the coupling of both the scenario building process and the scenarios as such. We used a functional-dynamic approach to theory-practice cooperation, i.e., the involvement of key stakeholders from, for example, tourism, forestry, and administration, differed in type and intensity during the steps of the research process. In our study, we experienced strong problem awareness among the stakeholders concerning the impacts of global change and local challenges. The guiding research question was commonly defined and problem ownership was more or less balanced. We arrived at six multiscale scenarios that open up future trajectories for the Visp region, and present generic strategies to cope with global and local challenges. The results show that local identity, spatial planning, community budget, and demographic development are important steering elements in the region's future development. We suggest that method-guided transdisciplinary processes result in a richer picture and a more systemic understanding, which enable a discussion of critical and surprising issues.

“…Some of these parameters might be consistent with criticality indicators and partly interrelated. Formative scenario analysis (Spoerri et al, 2009;Wiek, 2002) and cross-impact analysis (Weimer-Jehle, 2006) are possible approaches to assess such interrelations and to identify a consistent set of scenarios.…”

Abstract:Emerging technologies such as information and communication-, photovoltaic-or battery technologies are expected to increase significantly the demand for scarce metals in the near future. The recently developed methods to evaluate the criticality of mineral raw materials typically provide a 'snapshot' of the criticality of a certain material at one point in time by using static indicators both for supply risk and for the impacts of supply restrictions. While allowing for insights into the mechanisms behind the criticality of raw materials, these methods cannot account for dynamic changes in products and/or activities over time. In this paper we propose a conceptual framework intended to overcome these limitations by including the dynamic interactions between different possible demand and supply configurations. The framework integrates an agent-based behaviour model, where demand emerges from individual agent decisions and interaction, into a dynamic material flow model, representing the materials' stocks and flows. Within the framework, the environmental implications of substitution decisions are evaluated by applying life-cycle assessment methodology. The approach makes a first step towards a dynamic criticality assessment and will enhance the understanding of industrial substitution decisions and environmental implications related to critical metals. We discuss the potential and limitation of such an approach in contrast to state-of-the-art methods and how it might lead to criticality assessments tailored to the specific circumstances of single industrial sectors or individual companies.

“…Die Möglichkeiten alternativer Rollenverteilung verändert die Interaktion mit der Bevölkerung, da lokale Bedürfnisse in der Planung und Umsetzung heutzutage verstärkt berücksich-tigt werden müssen (Ayre und Nettle 2015; (Mazzorana et al 2009). Die methodische Vorgehensweise berücksichtigt insgesamt 12 Schritte, die wiederum in fünf Phasen unterteilt werden können (Scholz und Tietje 2002;Spoerri et al 2009). Diese fünf Phasen sind: (1) Systemdefinition und -analyse, (2) Einflussfaktoren, (3) Systemanalyse, (4) Konsistenzanalyse sowie (5) die Auswahl und Formulierung der möglichen Trendprojektionen.…”
