Integrierte Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung

Abstract

Viele Probleme unserer Gesellschaft lassen sich mit herkömmlichen Methoden nicht in den Griff bekommen. Der Prozess der Integrierten Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung hilft, einen grundlegenden gesellschaftlichen Übergang zu Nachhaltigkeit einzuleiten und damit zukünftige Herausforderungen aktiv anzunehmen.

Sustainable energy futures: Methodological challenges in combining scenarios and participatory multi-criteria analysis

“…Ultimately, only two stakeholder groups -representatives of engineers and power plant operators and of the churches -participated in the entire participatory process (i.e., establishment of criteria, assessment and evaluation by means of criteria, weighting and sensitivity analysis), thus invalidating the results as the representative outcome of a process involving all relevant stakeholders. In our case studies, we also struggled with non-participation and dropouts of stakeholders; in most cases it was not clear at all why participation fluctuated as it did (see also Kowalski et al, 2006;Bohunovsky et al, 2006).…”

“…The local scenarios describe possible developments of electricity and heat supply and expected changes in energy demand in Lödersdorf and Raabau until 2020 (for a detailed description of the local scenarios, see Bohunovsky et al, 2006Bohunovsky et al, , 2007b. They represent four possible futures of the energy system of the area.…”

“…An additional aim of the local case study besides the general project aims was to deliver decision support for the communities concerning the direction of their future use of RETs. This case was undertaken in cooperation with the Local Energy Agency (LEA) of this region and served also as a (science-guided) preparatory phase for participation in the socalled 'e5 Programme' 5 from 2006 onwards (Bohunovsky et al, 2006(Bohunovsky et al, , 2007b. The research team worked together with LEA, local decision-makers, local experts, and the general public, in organising participatory workshops, information events and in conducting interviews (for the local stakeholder list see Appendix C, Table C.2).…”
