Abstract
In current planning practice, the term resilience is widely used for climate adaptation, yet its meaning is often vague, making it feel like a buzzword. This thesis treats resilience as a way to connect urban design and ecology and develops a practical road map (a guide) for planning and assessing resilient climate adaptation in socio-ecological systems—the combined system of people, urban space, and nature. To build the road map, the project reviews ecological resilience theory and gathers key concepts, principles, and ideas. These are translated into terms useful for urban design through a case-specific study of Ribe. The outcome is a Road Map for Resilient Climate Adaptation that sets out concrete elements and actions to support early urban analysis and subsequent decision-making. To discuss the case findings and evaluate the road map, three scenarios are developed that show different directions for climate adaptation in Ribe. The scenarios surface conflicts of interest and dilemmas that planners must consider in long-term strategies and highlight both the strengths and the challenges of the road map.
I nutidens planlægningspraksis bruges begrebet resiliens flittigt om klimatilpasning, men betydningen er ofte uklar, så ordet kan virke som et modeord. Denne kandidatafhandling ser resiliens som en mulighed for at bygge bro mellem bydesign og økologi og udvikler et praktisk vejkort (en guide) til at planlægge og vurdere resilient klimatilpasning i socio-økologiske systemer – det vil sige samspillet mellem mennesker, byrum og natur. For at udvikle vejkortet gennemgår projektet teori om økologisk resiliens og samler centrale begreber, principper og ideer. Disse oversættes til et sprog, bydesignere og planlæggere kan bruge, gennem et casestudie af Ribe. Resultatet er et Vejkort for Resilient Klimatilpasning, som beskriver konkrete elementer og handlinger til brug i den indledende byanalyse og de efterfølgende beslutningsprocesser. For at drøfte casens resultater og samtidig evaluere vejkortet udvikles tre scenarier, der viser forskellige retninger for klimatilpasning i Ribe. Scenarierne synliggør interessekonflikter og dilemmaer, som er vigtige at overveje i langsigtede strategier, og de fremhæver både vejkortets potentialer og udfordringer.
