“…A third group of research projects is about integrated spatial and energy planning. Here, action research projects with local communities and provincial governments were carried out to define the field and the potential of spatial planning to support climate protection and the energy transition (Neugebauer/Kretschmer/Kollmann et al 2015;Ramirez Camargo/Zink/Dorner et al 2015;Stöglehner/ Neugebauer/Erker et al 2016;Erker/Stangl/Stöglehner 2017a;Erker/Stangl/Stöglehner 2017b). As a result of this work, the author became the scientific advisor of a governmental working group on the implementation of integrated spatial and energy planning in Austria (Stöglehner/Erker/Neugebauer 2014), and had the opportunity to scientifically guide the implementation of integrated spatial and energy planning in the Province of Styria (see Abart-Heriszt/Stöglehner 2018).…”

Quality discourses help to legitimate professions. This article therefore addresses the crucial question of how quality can be framed in spatial planning. Based on the context of spatial planning in Austria, this article introduces a normative framework for quality in spatial planning that considers the four dimensions of content, planning methodology, planning process and legal compliance, and shows how these four dimensions are interlinked. Furthermore, it discusses how quality can be enhanced by concerted governmental action and further education for planners. It is argued that planners might need to adopt a new role as 'teachers' in planning processes to facilitate societal learning processes in order to raise the quality of planning. Finally, it is concluded that the quality debate in spatial planning can be useful to calibrate expectations of planners and society to directly influence sustainable spatial development through spatial planning, to communicate achievements in planning, to raise awareness for sustainable spatial development, and to improve legal frameworks, planning methodology, and planners' training and further education. Zusammenfassung: Qualitätsdiskurse tragen dazu bei, Fachdisziplinen zu legitimieren. Dieser Artikel wirft die Frage auf, wie Planungsqualität im Kontext von Raumplanung und Raumordnung definiert werden kann. Das vorgestellte Konzept von Planungsqualität, das aus den vier Dimensionen Planungsinhalt, Planungsmethodik, Planungsprozess und Rechtssicherheit besteht, wird am Beispiel Österreichs erläutert. Des Weiteren wird diskutiert, wie diese Aspekte von Planungsqualität durch abgestimmte politisch-administrative Steuerung sowie durch Weiterbildung von Planerinnen und Planern weiterentwickelt werden kann. Dadurch wird deutlich, dass zur Erzielung einer hohen Planungsqualität das Rollenverständnis von Planerinnen und Planern um die Facette der/des ‚Lehrenden' in Planungsprozessen erweitert werden sollte, um soziales Lernen in Planungsprozessen zu unterstützen. Als Schlussfolgerung wird herausgearbeitet, dass eine Planungsqualitätsdebatte die Erwartungen der Gesellschaft an Planung zur Unterstützung nachhaltiger Entwicklung kalibrieren, Planungserfolge sichtbar machen, Bewusstseinsbildung für nachhaltige Raumentwicklung betreiben und Beiträge zur Weiterentwicklung von Rechtsrahmen, Planungsmethodik sowie Bildung und Weiterbildung für Planerinnen und Planer leisten kann. Schlagworte: Planungsqualität, Planungsinhalt, Planungsmethodik, Planungsprozess, Rechtssicherheit, Raumplanung, Rolle von Planerinnen und Planern Planungsqualität in der Raumplanung

“…Theory-based resilience management is increasingly becoming a major objective for both local and globally connected suppliers and buyers to respond to disruptive events [122]. The proactive attainment of resilience not only ensures absorptivity of and adaptability to sudden changes, but also offers a competitive advantage through a distinct level of the recovery and regrowth process [123,124].…”

The purpose of this study is to systematically identify and design improvement planning for supply chain resilience (SCRES) for a higher level of sustainability and a competitive advantage. Literature-based interpretive structural modelling (ISM), a pairing of the systematic literature review (SLR) and ISM approaches, is proposed for investigating and identifying a set of key performance measures of resilience for supply chain (SC) management. In line with previous research, we identified and updated 13 key SC capabilities out of 24 as core performance measures of supply network resilience. Furthermore, our findings categorised each capability and element into one of four types of influential power variables (drivers, dependent, autonomous, or linkage). This study (i) lends support to and updates previous research that examined the core capabilities of SCRES and (ii) provides complementary classifications for the influential powers of SCRES capabilities and elements. The literature indicates that there has been no research that has integrated SLR as a basis to ISM for an effective way to utilize existing studies for increasing awareness and developing managerial guidelines to achieve SCRES.

“…Resilience could be understood a countering dimension for discontinuities and black swans, and rich futures maps may be important for resilience. It may help understanding how energy services can be provided in a future society even in the case of disruptions [77].…”

Surprise as the new normal – implications for energy security

We are living in a world of increasing interconnectedness through digitalisation and globalisation, exacerbating environmental conditions, severe economic challenges, uneven distribution of wealth, and geopolitical crises. The world is a complex system and the rapid change among its sub-systems builds up pressure for any efforts to anticipate change and shape the processes of transformation. Surprise is an intrinsic aspect of change, in particular when it takes place at an accelerating pace with high degrees of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity (VUCA) -or within the condition of post-normality as described by Ziauddin Sardar. Emerging technologies such as AI and renewable energy systems add to the complexity of societies, and thus to the world of VUCA and post-normality. In foresight horizon scanning has much focused on the probable or even predictable -surprise-free developments. More emphasis should be paid on systematic anticipation of wild cards and black swans, and on the analysis of weak signals. Foresight should also focus on discontinuities -broader phenomena and developments instead of single events. Energy is a complex issue. Without energy there is no life, neither biological nor economic. Taking into account the huge ecological and social costs of the present energy system, the need for a new emission-free, cost-effective, and democratised energy system is obvious. An energy transformation to reach 100% renewable energy is envisioned in four transformational neo-carbon energy scenarios. Energy is increasingly a societal and even cultural issue -above all a security issue. As regards energy security, various sudden events and surprises could play a major role. New energy systems themselves, with other new technologies, nudge the world into unknown, discontinuous directions. Therefore, we probe the resilience, anti-fragility and discontinuity of these transformational, societal energy scenarios. The results of a futures clinique where the scenarios were tested are presented. Implications of surprises for energy security, as the world increasingly seeks to move towards a renewable energy based society, are explored.
