The role of the regions in the national energy transition was the topic of this year's Mission Innovation Austria Week 2024 in Stegersbach in Burgenland. The session on ‘Spatial energy planning as the key to measure-based municipal Co2 reduction pathways’ presented the results of the GEL S/E/P I and II project bundle.
To develop Schallmoos is the goal of the Transformator:in, and Research Studio iSPACE of RSA FG is on board for it. As part of a course at the Institute of Urban Planning at Graz University of Technology, students presented their ideas for the neighbourhood. To do so, they visited Salzburg and gathered input from the local Trans|formator:in partners.
In the LösungsWege project, the Salzburg studio is working together with a large consortium on inter-municipal, regional mobility solutions.
The INNOVATOUR research project (sustainable management of needs-based tourism mobility requirements through data innovations) addresses tourism mobility as an important field of action in transport planning. The aim of the project is to develop new mobility indicators by tapping into and analyzing previously unused data sources in order to better understand mobility behavior in tourism and reduce car use. This involves analyzing a wide range of previously unused or hardly used tourism data, such as overnight stays, booking data and admission tickets. In Salzburg and Styria, practical use cases for needs-based mobility services in the environmental network are being developed. The promotion of safe, affordable and sustainable mobility offers in the tourism context as well as more inclusive access should be at the end of the project.
Shared forms of mobility, sustainable (re)allocation of space and attractive, inclusive, needs-based access to mobility in residential and business areas are the aim of the iSPACE Sharing Hubs project. Vehicles should be shared in these hubs, while the existing parking spaces are also to be used in more than one way. The spatial decoupling of living/working and parking promotes shared mobility. In addition, these sharing hubs can be equipped with low-cost e-charging infrastructure and supplemented with services such as parcel boxes.
Half way there, the project Transformator:in already changed a lot on its way. At a workshop meeting, the project partners from St. Pölten and Salzburg discussed their progress and the next goals.
The international forum on the anthropocene is an important platform when it comes to sustainable strategies in a world shaped by humans. This year, the forum dedicated itself to the topic of water. iSPACE studio manager and PLUS employee Thomas Prinz traveled to Heiligenblut and presented "Tools for resource-conserving land management with a special focus on green-blue infrastructure".
The City of Salzburg's “BONUS” consulting service convinced the jury of the Friedrich Moser Prize of the University of Technology Vienna. The FFG project with iSPACE-Lead is already being continued with the City of Salzburg in “BONANZA”.
Both Studio iSPACE and SDIS took the numerous visitors of the "Long Night of Research" (Lange Nacht der Forschung) into the world of their research, from geoinformatics to vertical indoor food production.
The aim of the 5G-MOBiS project was to use 5G data for traffic control as well as spatial and mobility planning.
