Group 1 (Arnberger): Planning and zoning of large protected areas
What international guidelines (IUCN, UNESCO...) and national legal bases are there for different types of protected areas such as national parks, biosphere reserves, wilderness areas, World Heritage Sites? What types of zoning are there? What are the requirements for the respective zones? What conflicts can arise from this?

Students work in small groups and analyze the zoning of different protected areas and types of protected areas in different countries (desktop research). The students compare the zoning in the protected areas both with the (inter)national guidelines and between the individual protected areas and protected area types. These comparisons give them an insight into the advantages and disadvantages of the zoning systems and enable them to identify future problems arising from the respective zoning and solve zoning problems. This gives them an insight into sustainable protected area planning.
