The research project EGON explored a new organizational approach in the fruit sector that builds upon common ownership and collective management: commons-based organic fruit breeding. As agricultural and breeding actors initiated the writing of the research proposal, they became involved on equal footing in the joint problem framing and design of the research project from the very start. In this Design Report, we explore contextual factors in the co-design and co-production phase and their influence on the research process, as well as scientific and societal effects. Based on interviews with scientific and practitioner partners in the consortium, we find that early and continuous professional networking with practitioners is essential for fruitful transdisciplinary research processes. Also, joint activities like common excursions, seminars, and joint conference presentations have been valuable to develop mutual understanding, curiosity, and trust. What turned out to be crucial for the commons-based approach of the project were adequate funding opportunities for practitioners in systematic and scientifically supported breeding processes.

- Abstract
While most climate change vulnerability assessments focus on regional or city-levels, this paper studies villages and their different forms of vulnerability vis-à-vis climate change. In the African context, the village level proves to be central for land-use related decision-making given the traditional role of village communities. The paper analyses two different regions, namely the Mkomazi Water Basin in Tanzania and the Keiskamma River Catchment in South Africa. Due to the differing roles of agriculture, income sources and village structures, we developed and applied specific vulnerability indicators in the different regions. In both regions, we harness the Socio-Ecological Systems Framework to study explanatory factors for the variation in vulnerability between villages. In doing so, vulnerability has been found to be determined by an aggregate of ecological factors including water availability and soil depletion and social determinants including conflicts, strength of institutions and leadership as well as knowledge. Climate-change related factors play a role with regard to rainfall frequency and quantities, but need to be analysed together with other drivers of change, including population dynamics and migration. Our comparative conclusions focus on the need for explicit and clear institutional structures, legitimized leadership and good knowledge about land use options and their consequences.

Combating global warming, safeguarding ecological support systems and reducing energy and resource use as well as maintaining functioning societies are key challenges for many businesses today and in the near future. These problems have been addressed under the integrating concept of sustainable development. Implementing sustainable development in corporations, however, necessitates organizational learning. In light of a wide variation in corporate behaviour in accepting these challenges or not, the question arises of when and why companies pursue processes of learning and change to integrate sustainability, what effects these innovations have, and to what extent, and what factors promote or inhibit learning. This article addresses these questions on the basis of an empirical analysis of six companies. The study analyses internal and external explanatory factors for the occurrence of sustainability-oriented learning and change processes in medium-sized and large companies. Our findings highlight the role of learning mechanisms, leadership styles, internal networks and change agents. In terms of company-external factors, the study focused on the pressure applied by stakeholders and governmental regulation. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

The concept of sustainable development implies the need for organizational learning in business corporations to find innovative solutions. In this context, the paper analyzes the requirements and options for environmental policy to induce sustainability-related learning processes in corporations. It discusses the impacts of different policy instruments on these processes. Initially, the particular challenges of organizational learning for sustainability are being sketched out. Drawing on organizational learning studies, a subsequent section of the paper addresses fundamental elements and drivers for organizational learning processes on different levels in business corporations. The particular nodes where public policy can influence corporate learning processes are the central focus of these considerations. On this basis, we examine existing policy instruments frequently used in environmental policy with regard to their potential to foster learning processes towards sustainability.

Abstract: The concept of access and benefit-sharing (ABS) in genetic resources as maintained by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aims at promoting the conservation of biodiversity and equity between the North and the South at the same time. Its implementation challenges various disciplines. First, from an economic point of view, designing efficient ABS provisions turns to be highly complex given its multi-task and multi-agent problem structure, and given the lack of evidence that the economic benefits drawn from the exploitation of genetic resources will suffice to fund the preservation of biodiversity. Second, from a legal point of view, the principles of the CBD are very general. Their proper implementation requires the design of new intellectual property rights and new liability regimes, which challenge the current legal doctrines and have complex interactions with pre-existing legal regimes. Third, from the perspective of political and management sciences, the implementation of the CBD raises the question of how to design institutional frameworks that enable both democratic decision making taking into account the interests of the diverse stakeholders at the global level and collective learning considering the fact that humanity is dealing with complex problems characterized by numerous dimensions and high uncertainties. This special issue assembles a set of papers dealing with these issues and questions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Die vorliegende kumulative Dissertation besch��ftigt sich mit GPS-basierten Studien zur Analyse der nachhaltigen urbanen Individualmobilit��t. ��ber verschiedene Herangehensweisen wird das Forschungsthema umfassend pr��sentiert und das methodische Potential des GPS-basierten Forschungsdesigns in dem betrachteten mobilit��tswissenschaftlichen Teilbereich herausgearbeitet. Die Forschungsarbeit umfasst die folgenden vier Beitr��ge, welche methodische Grundlagen (Beitrag 1), Intermodalit��t und Multimodalit��t (Beitrag 2 und 3) sowie (sozial-)psychologische Einflussfaktoren (Beitrag 4) der urbanen Individualmobilit��t fokussieren. Beitrag 1 tr��gt den Titel ���Global Positioning System-based Travel Surveys: A Critical Review of Contents and Necessities of Current Mobility Research in Urban Environments���. Diese kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Global Positioning System (GPS)-Technologie als Erhebungsmethode der Mobilit��tswissenschaften bietet einen ersten Einstieg in die Thematik mit dem Fokus auf technische Details dieser Erhebungsmethodik. Die Arbeit geht dabei auf Erkl��rungen und Beispiele der Erhebungselemente ein. Daneben werden zus��tzlich angewandte Methoden (wie z.B. Begleitbefragungen, Wegetageb��cher, Smartphone Applikationen oder die online-basierte Evaluation) sowie Schwierigkeiten bei Mobilit��ts-erhebungen und bei Analysetechniken dargestellt. Die Diskussion verschiedener GPS-basierter Erhebungsmethoden zeigt dabei die dringende Notwendigkeit hoch-entwickelter GPS-Ger��te wie auch einer ausreichend gro��en Stichprobengr����e (sowohl bzgl. der Teilnehmeranzahl als auch der Beobachtungsdauer) sowie deren optimale Zusammensetzung auf. Dar��ber hinausgehend werden hochentwickelte Methoden f��r die Identifikation von Wegeverl��ufen, benutzter Verkehrsmittel sowie von Wegezwecken diskutiert. Beitrag 1 dient insbesondere der Auswahl eines geeigneten Erhebungsdesigns, welches den empirischen Analysen der daran anschlie��enden Beitr��ge 2 bis 4 zu Grunde liegt. Aufbauend auf den theoretischen Erkenntnissen aus dem ersten Beitrag, besch��ftigt sich Beitrag 2 mit der Evaluierung des Potentials der Intermodalit��t aus Nachhaltigkeitssicht. Unter dem Titel ���The Potential of Intermodal Urban Mobility as a Source of Sustainability: Evidence from a GPS-Based Evaluation in Stuttgart (Germany)��� wurden anhand empirischer, GPS-basierter L��ngsschnittdaten zum intra-individuellen Mobilit��tsverhalten Intermodalit��tsaspekte genauer untersucht. Intermodalit��t bezieht sich hierbei auf die Nutzung verschiedener Verkehrsmittel innerhalb eines Weges. Die allgemeine Intermodalit��tsquote stellt sich in der Stichprobe dabei als relativ gering dar. Monomodale Wege sind vom (nicht-) motorisierten Individualverkehr (Pkw, Fahrrad, Fu��) dominiert. Im Gegensatz dazu wurden bei Wegen mit mehr als einem Tripsegment h��ufig der ��ffentliche (Nah-)Verkehr (Bus, U-/S-Bahn) und Car-Sharing mit kurzen Fu��wegen verkn��pft. Dar��ber hinausgehend zeigt diese Forschungsarbeit, dass f��r intermodale Wege nicht notwendigerweise mehr Zeit als f��r monomodale Wege investiert werden muss. Gerade im urbanen Umfeld kann Intermodalit��t daher als attraktive und nachhaltigere Alternative zum privaten Pkw gesehen werden. Der dritte Beitrag setzt sich ebenfalls mit der Thematik der Intermodalit��t und Multimodalit��t der urbanen Individualmobilit��t auseinander. Multimodalit��t beschreibt dabei die Nutzung verschiedener Verkehrsmittel innerhalb eines gewissen Zeitraums (Buehler/Hamre 2014). Intermodalit��t dagegen zeichnet sich ��� als Unterkategorie zur Multimodalit��t ��� durch eine kombinierte Nutzung verschiedener Verkehrsmittel innerhalb eines Weges (Trips) aus (Buehler/Hamre 2014). Ein Trip besteht dabei aus mehreren Tripsegmenten. Nachdem im zweiten Beitrag die gro��e Bedeutung der Intermodalit��t f��r die urbane Individualmobilit��t herausgearbeitet wurde, schlie��t sich dieser dritte Beitrag mit einer intermodalen Analyse der einzelnen Tripsegmente daran an. Auch der Titel des Beitrag 3 ���About the Importance of Walking: An Intermodal Perspective on Sustainable Urban Passenger Mobility��� legt nahe, dass nun insbesondere die in der Forschung bislang h��ufig vernachl��ssigten Fu��wege ��� als essentieller Teil intermodaler Mobilit��t ��� im Fokus der Betrachtung stehen. Zun��chst wird die Untersch��tzung von Fu��wegen bei einer monomodalen Betrachtung des Modal Splits herausgearbeitet. Zudem zeigen die Analysen, dass Fu��wege nicht nur f��r Personen mit einer hohen Intermodalit��t bzw. Multimodalit��t von gro��er Bedeutung sind, sondern gleicherma��en auch von Personen genutzt werden, die insgesamt auf nur wenige verschiedene Verkehrsmittel zur��ckgreifen. Die Nutzungsh��ufigkeit von Fu��wegen bleibt dabei f��r alle betrachteten Gruppen gleicherma��en hoch. Fu��wege spielen dar��ber hinaus in intermodalen Trips vor allem im ersten und letzten Segment eine ma��gebliche Rolle. Implikationen, die sich daraus vor allem f��r die St��dteplanung ergeben, beziehen sich folglich auf den notwendigen Ausbau der Infrastruktur f��r Fu��g��nger, um einen einfachen und sicheren Zugang zu anderen Verkehrstr��gern (wie z.B. dem ��PNV) gew��hrleisten zu k��nnen. Beitrag 4 mit dem Titel ���What Affects Our Urban Travel Behavior? A GPS-Based Evaluation of Internal and External Determinants of Sustainable Mobility in Stuttgart (Germany)��� bindet schlie��lich noch die (sozial)-psychologische Betrachtung in die Forschungsthematik ein, indem interne sowie externe Einflussfaktoren auf das individuelle, urbane Mobilit��tsverhalten analysiert werden. Basierend auf der erweiterten ���Theorie des geplanten Verhaltens��� (TPB) (Ajzen 1991) werden im Rahmen eines Methodenmix von 73 Teilnehmern Daten ��ber ein personen-basiertes GPS-Tracking, eine Begleitbefragung sowie eine interaktive online-basierte Nachkontrolle (���Prompted Recall Survey���) erhoben. Das angewandte (varianz-basierte) Strukturgleichungsmodell konnte dabei 60 Prozent der Varianz des nachhaltigen Mobilit��tsverhaltens erkl��ren. Die Ergebnisse der Analysen best��tigen zudem signifikante Effekte sowohl intrinsischer als auch externer Faktoren. Stadtverwaltungen, ��PNV-Anbieter und nicht zuletzt die B��rger selbst sollten als Implikation aus der Forschungsarbeit daher externen Kosten, der gewohnheitsgem����en Nutzung nachhaltiger Verkehrsmittel sowie den wahrgenommenen Schwierigkeiten einer nachhaltigen Mobilit��t erh��hte Aufmerksamkeit schenken, um ein nachhaltiges Mobilit��tsverhalten umfassend zu unterst��tzen. Der Effekt einer nachhaltigen Intention auf ein nachhaltiges Mobilit��tsverhalten kann auf der vorliegenden GPS-basierten Datengrundlage hingegen nicht best��tigt werden. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Dissertationsschrift wird die Thematik der urbanen Individualmobilit��t umfangreich sowohl aus technisch-methodischer wie auch aus (sozial-)psychologischer Sicht betrachtet. Der Beitrag dieses Forschungsprojekts f��r die Forschungsgemeinschaft liegt dabei vor allem in Erkenntnissen, die auf der detaillierten und objektiven Erfassung des realen Mobilit��tsverhaltens basieren. Nur durch die Verwendung und Analyse innovativer personen-basierter GPS-Tracking-Daten ist es m��glich, bislang nicht verf��gbare Details von Tripstrukturen (Multimodalit��t und Intermodalit��t) zu analysieren sowie Einflussfaktoren auf das reale Mobilit��tsverhalten anstelle der Mobilit��tsintension zu modellieren. Daraus lassen sich dann f��r die Wissenschaft sowie Gesellschaft gleicherma��en zentrale Implikationen ableiten., English version: Abstract (Paper 1): GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking as a survey method for mobility patterns has received considerable attention in the mobility related literature and the traffic planning practice. This review offers insights in the method of GPS-based travel survey methods in the urban environment. The contribution delimits the person-based GPS tracking from other more conventional (interview, travel diary, in-vehicle GPS) as well as newer technical methods (smartphone application) showing the strengths and weaknesses of all survey instruments. Besides, examples and explanations on GPS-based survey structure elements as well as additionally used methods (interview, travel diaries, prompted recall surveys) are given. Additionally, survey issues and analyzing techniques of the post-processing of GPS-based surveys are discussed. The inherent presentation of differently conducted GPS-based mobility surveys clarifies the essential necessity of highly developed GPS equipment as well as a sufficiently large sample size (amount of participants and observation period) and composition. Moreover, advanced methods for the identification of trips, travel modes and trip purposes are discussed. From where we stand now, person-based GPS tracking techniques show still the highest potential to pose the mid-term future of mobility related research. If the technical development continues to progress fast, smartphone applications will however have the potential to supersede conventional survey methods and stand-alone GPS devices in a long-term perspective. Abstract (Paper 2): The aim of our project is to evaluate the potential of intermodality as a source of sustainability. Based on longitudinal data on intra-individual mobility behavior in an urban environment we discuss the appearance of intermodality in this specific context and whether it can contribute to sustainability related aims. In our empirical work more than 60 participants were tracked with on-person GPS devices in the metropolitan area of Stuttgart (Germany) during one week. The data show a relatively low intermodality rate. Unimodal trips were dominated by (un-) motorized private modes of transportation (car, bike, foot). In contrast, journeys with more than one trip segment were particularly observed using combinations of public transportation (bus, tram, metro) and/or car-sharing linked by short distance walks. In conclusion, our research figured out that intermodal travel does not necessarily take up more time than passenger would invest for unimodal trips and thus displays an attractive and more sustainable alternative to the usage of private cars in metropolis areas. Abstract (Paper 3): Walking as a frequently used mode of transportation is often inevitable in our daily urban mobility. However, compared to other modes of transportation, to date, the appearance and characteristics of walking is less discussed in literature. Our paper contribute to this shortcoming in research particularly from the methodological side by the improved, GPS based recording of (walking) trips and its intermodal analysis. Based on the data of 476 person days we examined the structure of monomodal, multimodal and intermodal individual urban mobility. The detailed analysis illustrates the underestimation of walking trips in a monomodal modal split calculation. Besides, the high importance of walking trips and stages could be proven throughout all multimodality and intermodality groups. Finally, our results confirm that walking stages are particular relevant at the beginning and the end of an intermodal trip (���first/last mile problem���). Knowing about the importance of walking for monomodal and intermodal trips and thus a broad user group, researchers and especially policymakers should rethink the urban infrastructure comprehensively and promote walking as essential part of a sustainable urban mobility. Abstract (Paper 4): The motorized individual transport affects our urban living negatively regarding environmental, social and economic aspects. To solve the mobility-related issue profoundly and in long-term, all relevant influences on the individual mobility behavior in an urban environment ought to be detected. The aim of this paper is therefore the analysis of psychological and environmental-external factors hypothesized to influence a sustainable mobility intention as well as its consequent behavior. On the theoretical basis of an extended version of the ���Theory of Planned Behavior��� (Ajzen 1991), a multi-methods approach using person-based GPS tracking, questioning and an interactive online evaluation (prompted recall survey) is applied (N=73). 60 percent of the variance of sustainable mobility behavior could be explained by our structural equation model. The results of our analysis confirm significant effects of intrinsic and external determinants, alike. Municipalities, operators of public transport systems and even the citizens themselves need to pay particular attention to external costs, the habitual usage of sustainable modes of transportation as well as the difficulties perceived to be associated with sustainable mobility to support it thoroughly.
