Your Landscape System Context

• What is your 'entry' / focus system?
• What are the main cross-links to other systems?
• Please represent this by a general system map (upload file and place below)

General orientation

• Provide some general framework of the geographical / spatial / socio-economic context
• report known issues and challenges
• Use open access maps if possible (set links or upload maps)

Your Local Living Lab Process

• Describe your local community outreach process: who is involved and how, in which formats
• Describe your process of participatory system knowledge creation
• Develop a community / actor map / power map
• Describe the methods applied in this process

Retrospective of your Landscape System

• How did the system operate in the past?
• What made it change (drivers, pressures)?
• Which impact did this change have?

• Develop your analysis based on our Systems Thinking Framework:
  • Recognizing the parts of the system and their interconnections
  • Identifying and understanding feedback (cause-effect loops) within the landscape system by taking natural, social, cultural and economic systems and their impact on land use and land form into account.
  • Understanding system structure and system boundary
  • Differentiating types of flows and variables. These are partially also the resources in the system
  • Identifying and understanding non-linear relationships .For example:small changes in one variable may result in large changes in another variable.
  • Understanding dynamic system behaviour, integrate properties of complex systems
  • Use conceptual models, reducing complexity by modeling systems conceptually, intuitive simplification is allowed, as long as you know that you are simplifying.
  • Always try to understanding systems at different scales
  • Integrate actors and governance, power structures

The Landscape System of now

• How does the landscape system operate today
• What is driving change?

The possible Future Landscape System

• How might the landscape system operate in the future?
• What might drive change? Which decisions might society take?
• Which impact on the landscape will result from this?
• How will these landscapes operate and look like?
