The principle of area-orientation is so far not implemented in Germany and obstacles seem to prevail for doing this. Hence a knowledge base about area-orientation is provided and the theory is combined with the mutual gains approach to negotiate obstacles and identify possible synergies. This process is enhanced by expert interviews of involved stakeholders within the spatial demarcation of Lower Saxony and Bremen in a case study. A general potential for creating synergies can be observed. Hence success factors, such as additional political commitment, reflexive planning processes, integrative thinking and open communication are presented as solution for these problems and as outcome of this thesis. date: 2013 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: EIP tutors_name: Spiekermann, Jan tutors_name: Restemeyer, Britta tutors_name: Woltjer, Johan keywords_local: mutual gains approach keywords_local: coastal zone management keywords_local: climate change adaptation keywords_local: area-orientation keywords_local: Coastal protection keywords_local: consensus planning keywords_local: paradigm change language_iso: en titleorder: Area-oriented coastal protection - A theoretical and stakeholder based analysis of possible synergies and obstacles on the German North-Sea coast dbi: 52e65d8585a54 imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ma/EIP/2013/sschwalfenberg/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132454-52e65d8585a54.xml date_issued: 2013-01-01 citation: Schwalfenberg, Steffen (2013) Area-oriented coastal protection - A theoretical and stakeholder based analysis of possible synergies and obstacles on the German North-Sea coast.
