TY - THES A1 - Stein, Florian T1 - Diffusion von Photovoltaik-Anlagen in Baden-Württemberg : Räumliche Unterschiede in der Nutzungsintensität von Photovoltaik-Dachanlagen - untersucht in der Region Heilbronn-Franken T1 - Diffusion of photovoltaic installations in Baden-Württemberg : Regional disparities in the usage of rooftop photovoltaics - a case study in Heilbronn-Franken N2 - Es existieren regionale Unterschiede in der Nutzung von Photovoltaik-Anlagen (PV) in Baden-Württemberg. Die Bedeutung von Raumstruktur und Globalstrahlung für diese Unterschiede wurde großräumig untersucht. Es zeigte sich, dass die PV-Nutzung im ländlichen Raum Baden-Württembergs höher ist als im urbanen Raum. Dieser Zusammenhang gewann in den letzten Jahren an Bedeutung. Die Bedeutung der Globalstrahlung für die PV-Nutzung sank auf ein sehr niedriges Niveau. Weitere Untersuchungen wurden im Nordosten Baden-Württembergs durchgeführt, wo die Raumstruktur ländlich und die PV-Nutzung überdurchschnittlich hoch ist. Um die Ursachen der regionalen Unterschiede in der PV-Nutzung näher zu untersuchen, wurden qualitative Experteninterviews, Korrelationsanalysen und schriftliche Haushaltsbefragungen durchgeführt. Durch Experteninterviews wurden die Hauptakteure für die Diffusion von PV in der Untersuchungsregion identifiziert. Neben PV-Unternehmen sind dies Landwirte, Gemeinderäte und Bürgermeister sowie Energieagenturen. Landwirte nehmen eine Schlüsselrolle ein, da es für sie relativ leicht ist PV-Anlagen zu realisieren. Gemeinderäte und ihre Bürgermeister können PV-Anlagen auf öffentlichen Gebäuden realisieren. Energieagenturen bilden Diffusionsnetzwerke zwischen verschiedenen Akteuren. Eine Korrelationsanalyse deckte einige Faktoren auf, die mit den PV-Anlagen je Einwohner und Kommune in Heilbronn-Franken korrelieren. Diese Faktoren sind (i) Anteil der unter 18 Jährigen, (ii) Anteil der Einfamilienhäuser an den Wohngebäuden, (iii) Anteil der sozialversicherungspflichtigen Beschäftigten mit abgeschlossener Ausbildung, (iv) landwirtschaftliche Betriebe mit Viehhaltung je Einwohner, (v) Anteil der Mehrfamilien-häuser an den Wohngebäuden und (vi) Anteil der sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten mit Hochschulabschluss. Durch eine Haushaltsbefragung wurden signifikante Unterschiede zwischen PV-Eigentümern und Nicht-Eigentümern aufgedeckt (Alter, Familienverhältnisse, Energieverhalten, PV-Informationskanäle, Einstellung zu PV). Bei formaler Bildung und Einkommen gab es keine signifikanten Unterschiede. Außerdem wurden signifikante Unterschiede zwischen einer Gemeinde mit hoher und einer mit niedriger PV-Nutzung erkannt (Energieverhalten, Notwendigkeit ökologischen Handels, Einstellung zu PV, lokale PV-Akteure). Andere Aspekte wiesen keine signifikanten Unterschiede auf (PV-Informationskanäle, Hinderungsgründe für den Kauf). Außerdem zeigte sich, dass die Diffusion von PV einen wichtigen lokalen Charakter hat (PV-Informationskanäle, lokale Märkte). N2 - There are regional disparities in the usage of rooftop photovoltaic installations (PV) in the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg. The influence of spatial structure and global radiation on these disparities has been investigated on a large scale. It was found that the usage of PV is significantly higher in rural areas of Baden-Württemberg than in urban areas. The strength of this correlation has been increasing during the last years. The importance of global radiation for the usage of PV in Baden-Württemberg has been decreasing to a rather low level. Further investigations were made in the north eastern region of Baden-Württemberg, where spatial structure is rural and the usage of PV is above average. To investigate reasons for these regional disparities qualitative expert interviews, correlation analysis and household surveys have been conducted. Through expert interviews main actors for diffusion of PV in the study area were identified. Apart from PV-companies these main actors are farmers, local councils and mayors as well as energy agencies. Farmers take a key role in diffusion of PV, because it is quite easy for them to implement PV. Local councils and their mayors are capable to enable diffusion of PV on public buildings. Energy agencies are capable of building diffusion networks among different groups of actors. The correlation analysis revealed several attributes that are correlating with photovoltaic installations per inhabitant and municipality in Heilbronn-Franken. These attributes are: (i) share of inhabitants <18 years, (ii) share of single-family houses in residential buildings, (iii) share of employees with finished apprenticeship, (iv) agricultural enterprises with livestock per inhabitant, (v) share of multi-family houses in residential buildings, (vi) share of employees with university degree. Through a household survey significant differences between PV-owners and non-owners were found (age, family status, energy behavior, channels of information, attitude towards PV). However some aspects did not show significant differences (formal education, income). Furthermore significant differences between one municipality with high and one with low PV-usage have been identified (energy behavior, necessity of acting ecologically, attitude towards PV, local PV-actors) whereas other aspects were not significantly different (channels of information for PV, obstacles of purchasing PV). Besides that it was found that diffusion of PV has an important local character (channels of information, local markets).

Es existiert eine Fülle von Studien, die sich in ihrer Herangehensweise unterscheiden, weshalb hier ein Systematisierungsvorschlag aufgezeigt wird. Mittels einer an den Richtlinien der Grounded Theory orientierten Analyse wurden Studien auf zentrale gemeinsame Kategorien hin untersucht und als Modell präsentiert. Dieses stellt jedoch kein abgeschlossenes System dar, sondern dient durch seine Offenheit als Gerüst, das mit Ergebnissen aus weiteren Fallstudien gefestigt werden kann. N2 - (Potentially) climate change-induced migration constitutes a complex and broad field of research. A multitude of studies exists with different approaches to the topic. Within this range of approaches, it is the aim of this research to make a proposal for a systematisation of the topic. By carrying out a Grounded Theory-oriented analysis, we screened case studies for common categories to provide a conceptual model. The result of the investigation is a framework which can be extended by findings of other case studies.

The region of south-west WA is considered as a high fire prone landscape and is managed by the state government’s Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM). Prescribed fuel reduction burning is used as a management tool in this region. The measurement of burn severity with remote sensing data focused on monitoring the success and impact of prescribed burning and wildfire in this environment. The high temporal resolution of MODIS with twice daily overpasses in this area was considered highly favourable, as opportunities for prescribed burning are temporally limited by climatic conditions. The Normalised Burn Ratio (NBR) was investigated to measure burn severity in the forested area of south-west WA. This index has its heritage based on data from the Landsat TM/ETM+ sensors (Key and Benson, 1999 [1],[2]) and was transferred from Landsat to MODIS data. The measurement principally addresses the biomass consumption due to fire, whereas the change detected between the pre-fire image and the post-fire image is quantified by the ÄNBR. The NBR and the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) have been applied to MODIS and Landsat TM/ETM+ data. The spectral properties and the index values of the remote sensing data have been analysed within different burnt areas. The influence of atmospheric and BRDF effects on MODIS data has been investigated by comparing uncorrected top of atmosphere reflectance and atmospheric and BRDF corrected reflectance. The definition of burn severity classes has been established in a field trip to the study area. However, heterogeneous fire behaviour and patchy distribution of different vegetation structure made field classification difficult. Ground truth data has been collected in two different types of vegetation structure present in the burnt area. The burn severity measurement of high resolution Landsat data was assessed based on ground truth data. However, field data was not sufficient for rigorous validation of remote sensing data. The NBR index images of both sensors have been calibrated based on training areas in the high resolution Landsat image. The burn severity classifications of both sensors are comparable, which demonstrates the feasibility of a burn severity measurement using moderate spatial resolution 250m MODIS data. The normalisation through index calculation reduced atmospheric and BRDF effects, and thus MODIS top of at-mosphere data has been considered suitable for the burn severity measurement. The NBR could not be uniformly applied, as different structures of vegetation influenced the range of index values. Furthermore, the index was sensitive to variability in moisture content. However, the study concluded that the NBR on MODIS data is a useful measure of burn severity in the forested area of south-west WA.
