You can edit this map with the map editor >>> we are currently updating the map editor
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
- Add the local communication channels of your living lab
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

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?
