„Agrarsysteme der Zukunft“ und „PlanTieFEn“ beim Zukunftsforum in Berlin
Wie können Konflikte um Landnutzung konstruktiv bearbeitet werden und wie sehen neue Wege für ein vorausschauendes, kooperatives Flächenmanagement aus? Auf dem Zukunftsforum Ländliche Entwicklung des Bundesministeriums für Landwirtschaft, Ernährung und Heimat hatte das Team von „Agrarsysteme der Zukunft“ die Möglichkeit, das Fachforum 28 „Flächen im Wandel“ mitzugestalten – gemeinsam mit dem Öko-Institut, dem Leibniz-Zentrum für Agrarlandschaftsforschung (ZALF), dem Leibniz-Institut für Gemüse- und Zierpflanzenbau (IGZ), neuland21 und der Wüstenrot Stiftung.

The Reputation of Primary Schools—Rumours with Consequences for Segregation
ILS researcher Isabel Ramos Lobato and Andreas Wettlaufer (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) have published an article in the journal Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie. Taking up previous research, the article uses a mixed-methods design to investigate how the reputations of primary schools are established in discourses in a German neighbourhood in North Rhine-Westphalia and what role they play in school choice. It becomes clear that, in contrast to previous studies, the reputations of the local schools generally reflect their composition. Even if this does not mean that reliable conclusions about a school’s quality can actually be drawn from it, reputation is a very important school selection criterion across all social groups. Nevertheless, perceptions of individual primary schools vary in line with parents’ educational qualifications, contributing to school segregation. https://doi.org/10.1111/tesg.70060.

Entrepreneurs’ ‘Triadic Spatial Paradox’: theorising the hybrid home‑based business workspace experience
ILS researcher Cornelia Tippel and her colleagues have published an article in the International Small Business Journal: Researching Entrepreneurship. The article examines the significance of space in entrepreneurship and develops the conceptual model of the ‘Triadic Spatial Paradox’ based on the experiences of entrepreneurs operating home-based businesses (HBBs). It shows how entrepreneurs personally relate to and make sense of their dynamic hybrid home/workspaces and how they articulate the space-related paradoxes within their businesses. https://doi.org/10.1177/02662426251410801.

Belief-driven and socio-spatially effective? Transition pathways from car-oriented to car-reduced planning on the neighborhood scale
The ILS researcher Annika Schröder has published an article in the International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, co-authored by Sina Steele from Goethe University Frankfurt. The development of mobility concepts for newly built urban districts encounters structures and patterns of thinking that are oriented towards automobility. These pose significant challenges for innovative planning strategies. Using neighborhood developments in Darmstadt, Bielefeld, and Cologne as case studies, the authors examine the transformation process from car-oriented to car-reduced planning. Based on a complex interplay of belief patterns and socio-spatial factors (material, institutional, and cultural), they identify different pathways of a planning transition from car-oriented to car-reduced. They also show that, in practice, it appears promising to justify planning visions in a context-specific manner, to combine experimentation with institutionalization, and to disseminate planning experiences. https://doi.org/10.1080/15568318.2025.2598440.
