Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER)
The Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) is a non-university research centre and a member of the Leibniz Association. We contribute to a spatial development that enables humanity to thrive within ecological boundaries while ensuring planetary justice. Given the severity of the present global social-ecological crisis, our research aims to accelerate and achieve deep and encompassing transformations that shape sustainable and resilient regions, cities and neighbourhoods.
As a leading centre for advanced spatial sustainability science we develop cross-scale spatial information, analysis tools and knowledge, as well as policy- and planning instruments that enhance adaptive and transformative capacities in territories and places. To that effect we strive to elucidate the internal and external sustainability orientations of individuals, organisations and society, as well as their embeddedness in socio-ecological-technological spatial configurations. Our research and transfer activities draw on integrated mono-, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, and are reflexive of our role as scientists in spatial development.
Research Area Spatial Information and Modelling
The IOER Research Area Spatial Information and Modelling develops and uses data-intensive and data-integrating approaches to describe, interpret and evaluate trends in settlement and open space development at different spatial levels and at high resolution. To this end, we focus on innovative research fields such as Spatial Data Science and Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI).
In cooperation with different stakeholders, we generate socially robust knowledge and provide transformative decision support. We use co-design approaches to develop digital tools and generate alternative future scenarios of spatial developments. The overarching goal is to contribute to the understanding of complex spatial relationships and dynamics through the action-oriented development and interpretation of rapidly growing and heterogeneous data sets.
