Space research
As space exploration a is interdisciplinary research field called that the scientific basis of spatial and space planning forms. This includes both applied and basic research. The object of knowledge form part spaces of the solid Earth's surface in the different scale levels (z. B. cities , regions ). Depending on the scale and political definition, there are different names and focuses, such as urban research and regional science .
One goal of spatial research is to record, describe and explain the structures, processes and modes of operation of spatial problems between people and the environment . The goal of sustainable spatial development is based on these findings .
Spatial research is carried out in university institutes , academy institutes and non-university research institutions.
- In Germany there are the Leibniz Institute for Ecological Spatial Development in Dresden, the Leibniz Institute for Regional Development and Structural Planning in Erkner, the Academy for Spatial Research and Regional Planning in Hanover, the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography in Leipzig and the ILS Institute for Regional and Regional Planning To cite urban development research in Dortmund. These research institutions together form the 5R network of spatial science institutions of the Leibniz Association .
- In Austria, especially in Vienna, in addition to the University of Vienna (Institute for Geography and Regional Research) and the Vienna University of Technology (Department of Urban and Regional Research ), the Austrian Academy of Sciences and its Institute for Urban and Regional Research should also be mentioned.
- In Switzerland the situation is different due to the cantonal structure; Relevant research institutes are located at the ETH Zurich and at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne .
Among others, the following scientific disciplines participate:
