Socio-cultural Dynamics of German Cultural Landscapes (SoCuLa) – A Future-oriented Perspective to 2030/2045

在欧洲，土地利用变化作为生物多样性变化的主要直接驱动因素之一，正对人类福祉构成重大风险。推动从目前的趋势向更可持续的趋势转变，社会文化动态等间接驱动因素具有重大意义。人口变化、价值变化或数字化等趋势对文化景观中的生物多样性的影响到目前为止还知之甚少。因此，SoCuLa将采用跨学科的方法。它将把关于未来社会趋势发展的社会科学研究与关于生物多样性探索研究区景观构成的生态数据联系起来。特别是，SoCuLa将与来自该地区的当地利益攸关方团体共同开发未来的文化景观场景。针对各区域的社会文化动态，将重点放在确定和确定文化生态系统服务和危害的特征，以及制定指标。从SoCuLa项目中获得的知识将与各区域的当地实践和管理有关。同时，社会情景将对生物多样性探索实验室的未来研究具有重要意义，以便将它们与区域的生物多样性动态和变化联系起来。

In Europe, land-use change, as one of the major direct drivers of biodiversity change, is posing substantial risks for human-wellbeing. Enabling a transformative change from the current trends towards more sustainable ones, indirect drivers such as socio-cultural dynamics are of major importance. The impact of such trends, e.g. demographic change, value change, or digitalization on biodiversity in cultural landscapes are only little understood so far. Thus, SoCuLa will adopt an interdisciplinary approach. It will link social science research on future societal trend developments with ecological data on landscape composition in the study regions of the Biodiversity Exploratories. In particular, SoCuLa will jointly develop future scenarios of the cultural landscape with local stakeholder groups from the regions. Addressing the socio-cultural dynamics in the regions, emphasis will be given on the identification and characterization of cultural ecosystem services and disservices, as well as the development of indicators. The knowledge gained from the SoCuLa project will be relevant for local practice and management in the regions. At the same time, the societal scenarios will be significant for future research in the Biodiversity Exploratories in order to link them to biodiversity dynamics and change in the regions.
