It starts with a general overview of the situation and a concise description of the problem. The following paragraphs will describe rudimentary the intentions and interests of different types of land use. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive description of the different interests and needs, which would be beyond the scope of this book.

gaps of information have to be made or an agreement of neglecting this information could be done. At the end it is not important if you got the full information for these exercise. The main intention is to think in different roles and to try to understand different points of view on the given problem. Considering the entrance of this book where the German philosopher Kant already helped to understand that space cannot entirely be grasped or described as “thing itself”, only by sensual perception and experiences. Another point is to plan and develop an adequate strategy on how to approach the problem. What are the necessary steps? What is really important to know (relevant)? What if some steps of the process for solving the problem didn’t work as expected? What if milestones or interim results won’t be achieved?
