Local Educational Landscapes and Urban Development - Interfaces and Interlacings

在过去十年中关于教育问题的广泛社会政治讨论中，空间和城市环境显然是教育的重要方面，教育对城市发展越来越重要。因此，需要考虑和调查教育和城市发展这两个主题领域之间的协调问题。这一点在所谓的地方教育景观（德语：Bildungslandschaften）概念中尤为明显。关于教育景观的年轻研究领域目前缺乏对教育中的城市规划考虑因素的讨论，实证研究以及空间和规划科学的研究。这一研究空白是本项目的出发点。该项目的目的是系统地和实证地研究教育与城市发展之间在不同尺度上的接口和交织，该研究项目分为两个模块：第一个项目模块包括对教育与城市发展之间在不同尺度上（联邦、州、市、区、街区）的关系进行实证研究。本项目模块内的第一阶段调查是探索跨部门主题和联邦、州和地方各级教育政策和城市发展政策的讨论思路。为此，进行了包括文件分析和专家访谈在内的政策分析。第一个项目模块中的第二阶段调查重建了地方教育景观与城市、地区和街区的社会和建筑环境之间的关系。其目的是分析当地教育景观的例子，特别关注社会和建筑环境以及城市设计和规划方面的目标。在方法上，这是通过案例研究来完成的。通过内容分析对文件、访谈、小组讨论和参与者的观察进行分析，并通过城市分析对审查进行补充。第二个项目模块包括对研究结果的综合解释和对教育与城市发展之间的界面和交织的研究结果进行假设的发展。这些假设可以构成进一步研究的基础，研究项目的预期成果是对教育和城市发展进行新的、综合的和跨学科的思考。该项目的基础是对迄今为止由教育科学主导的地方教育景观的研究和讨论，并审查了教育的城市和空间层面。在关于地方教育景观的辩论中，教育与城市发展之间的积极联系经常被认为是未经科学研究证实的。该项目将填补这一研究空白，并重建和情境化这两个领域之间的关系。

In the broad socio-political discussion on the topic of education within the last decade, it becomes apparent that space and the urban context are important dimensions of education and that education is gaining importance for urban development. The coordination between the two subject areas education and urban development therefore requires consideration and investigation. This becomes particularly evident in concepts for so-called local educational landscapes (Ger. Bildungslandschaften). The young field of research on educational landscapes is currently lacking a discussion of urban planning considerations in education, empirical research as well as research from the spatial and planning sciences. This research gap is the starting point of this project. The project's aim is to systematically and empirically examine the interfaces and interlacings between education and urban development at different scales.The research project is divided into two modules: the first project module embraces empirical research on the relationship between education and urban development at different scale levels (federal, state, city, district, neighbourhood). The first phase of investigation within this project module is an exploration of cross-sectoral themes and discussion threads of educational policy and urban development policy on federal, state and local level. For this, a policy analysis is conducted that includes document analysis and expert interviews.The second phase of investigation within the first project module reconstructs the relation between local educational landscapes and the social and built environment of the city, districts and neighbourhoods. The aim is to analyse examples of local educational landscapes with a particular focus on the social and built environment and the resulting objectives in view of urban design and planning. Methodologically this is done by case study research. Documents, interviews, group discussions and participant observations are analysed by content analysis and the examination will be complemented by urbanistic analysis.The second project module includes an integrated interpretation of the research results and the development of hypotheses which describe the findings on the interfaces and interlacings between education and urban development. The hypotheses can form the basis for further research.The expected outcome of the research project is a new, integrated and interdisciplinary reflection on education and urban development. The project is based on research and discussion on local educational landscapes which was dominated by the educational sciences so far and examines the urban and spatial dimension of education. Within the debate on local educational landscapes a positive connection between education and urban development is frequently stated without being verified by scientific research. The project will fill this research gap and reconstruct and contextualize the relationship between the two fields.
