10 Serious Games in Sustainable Land Management

Direction of measures
Description
Examples of measures
Compensation of energy
price—disadvantages of the
location
Some (more peripheral)
municipalities try to
compensate for their location
disadvantage (worsened
through increased energy
prices) by strengthening their
local advantages (subsidised
land for building, affordable
and high-quality child care
options, good reputation, green
spaces, …)
• Attractive day care (nursery
school)
• Increased promotion of
attractive housing areas
• Citizen survey: What do we
want?
• Attracting businesses (to their
own municipality)
Maintain short distances,
coupled with the topic of
“adaptation to demographic
change”
Strategies for adaptation to
demographic change.
Especially when talking about
retaining shops and services
(social infrastructure, retail)
through reorganisation,
subsidies or restructuring
• Establishment of a health
centre
• Establishment of a
cooperative town hall
• Local supply of goods
through a “marketplace shop”
E-Everything with local ties Many municipalities
acknowledge the potential of
digital media in enabling more
energy-efficient mobility for
their residents
This idea is tied together by
purpose-built components (e.g.
online ride sharing platforms in
combination with safe and
well-designed commuter
parking spots) as well as social
elements (e.g. municipal
initiatives to use ride sharing,
mentor programmes for using
online services, etc.)
• Broadband and
telecommunications
• “E-Everything” (local
supplies and all municipal
services online)
• Telemedicine (online medical
services)
Services on
wheels—services come to us
In very rural areas, mobile
services and supplies are
experiencing renewed
popularity. Thus another thread
of the discussion and strategies
linked to demographic change
debate has continued. The
reality of implementation so far
has yet to culminate to a
significant amount
• Local supply of goods
through a “marketplace
truck”, mobile medical
services, Combi-Bus (bus
taking on passengers as well
as mail and goods)
