After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• understand the links between urgent tasks in combating the climate crisis and the possibilities offered by regional planning herein;
• to understand differences in the binding nature and mode of action of regional planning policies;
• to understand why certain offers (including mobility, energy, everyday and leisure infrastructure) are highly relevant on the climate change and why this will require clearly more regional cooperation in the future;
• To transfer all these findings and insights with a distinctive "red thread" into a scientifically consistent written work (text, illustrations, sources).

The seminar enables students to work in a largely self-organised, interactive and practice-oriented way. The students work as a "peer group" which supports and advises each other in the elaboration of questions and the writing of the work. The students are required to derive and elaborate current and relevant research questions for their individual work from the selected problem areas, supported by peer group and supervisor.

• Co-creation
• "speed dating" on spatial topics
• literature and good practice research
• quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis
• stakeholder- and governance approaches
• mapping of data and actors
• Visioneering
• Inventory and research on site in the region of the bachelor thesis

• Writing a Bachelor's thesis that deals with the independent processing of a scientific planning problem or a planning task using the knowledge and methods learned during the degree programme. The elaboration in text and graphics / plan has to be carried out according to recognised scientific rules [1].
• Obligatory attendance on ca. 6 Plenum workshops, plus individual and group appointments
• The Bachelor thesis must contain at least the following parts:
• Analysis; textual, statistical and cartographic, spatially differentiated representations of the ACTUAL spatial values in a self-selected planning area
• textual and cartographic representations of the development possibilities of spatial structures, matching the processes observed in the ACTUAL, incl. documentation of methods.
• 4 intermediate tasks/uploads
• Keeping a research diary
