Landscape Democracy Rationale

• From a landscape democracy perspective, this community context is relevant because it's about a group of people coming together in the same place, to use beautiful landscape for the same interest, and that interest, is engaging in all kinds of sports and leisure activities. This community uses the same area of land to fulfill their human rights for engaging in sports activities.This is where we see the bridging of landscape and human rights which represent landscape democracy.
• This way of use of land is very beneficial for wellness and human health which also helps this landscape area to keep its sports spirit and character.

Phase A: Mapping your Community

Welcome to your community and its landscape

• The Olympic rowing regatta course is located six kilometres north of the Olympic Park, half on Munich soil, half on Oberschleißheim soil, in the Dachauer Moos and covers an area of 850,000 square metres.
• Historical place
• The Olympic Games competition venue
• It represents a piece of post-war heritage
• The facility needs renovation

•

  Spatial characteristics

Groups of actors and stakeholders in your community

• Main Actor groups: Olympic Park, Authority, Clubs/stakeholders, Athletes
• Sub-actor groups: Employee, Visitors, Recreationists
• More Visible groups: athletes
• Less visible groups: visitors
• Do to this Corona situation, we don’t know opinions of local people and all our work is based on assumptions and research through internet.

Summary of your learnings from the transnational discussion panel on April 22

On April 22 you will present the PPT version of this first assignment to other seminar groups working in other geographical community contexts. Please give here a short summary of your learnings during this presentation, for example:

• Other analytical approaches
• Other representation styles
• Other value schemes: any surprises?
• Constructive comments we received on our presentation

• 

  Reflection

Theory reflection

• Stories of Collective Capital is useful to gather and sense the community characteristics and create a foundation for future positive changes.
• The landscape has the relationship between people and governments that the Aarhus convention is based of
• Links environmental rights and human rights
• Acknowledges that we owe an obligation to future generations
• Establishes that sustainable development can be achieved only through the involvement of all stakeholders
• Links government accountability and environmental protection
• Focuses on interactions between the public and public authorities in a democratic context.

Phase B: Democratic Landscape Analysis and Assessment

The Scene in your Story of Analysis

• Our challenge; This project is premised on the frequent clashes that occur between the different demography of people who utilize the Olympic Rowing Regatta Course facilities; with emphasis on the sweet-sour relationship between professional athletes and recreationists. This problem is largely due to the multifarious activities happening concurrently on the project site as well as its extensive footprint.

• The Olympic Rowing Regatta Course is a purpose-built sporting facility designated as the venue for Rowing and Canoeing events of the 1972 Summer Olympics. It is located approximately 6km north of the Olympic park and covers an area of about 850,000 square metres. The implication of this sprawling area is that the centre sits partly on Munich soil as well as in Oberschleif3heim, Dachauer Moos. This immense post-war heritage features a 2.23km long, 140m wide and 3.5m deep artificial Regatta Course, asphalt tracks for cycling, tennis courts, volleyball etc. It also has a network of ancillary facilities, including, gymnasiums, restaurants, conveniences, accommodation, campground etc. The idyllic development is surrounded by an eclectic land-use ranging from agricultural farmlands, grazing pastures and protected forests to other more "urban" typologies.

The Actors in your Story of Analysis

• Main actors in the story are internal stakeholders who have the most profound impact on the project and play significant roles in the administration of the facility.

They include: Government and other regulatory agencies Olympic Park Authority - Stakeholders - Sponsors Athletes

• SUB-ACTORS

Also playing significant roles, albeit on a much smaller scale, the sub-actors are stakeholders who are affected by the outcomes of the main players. They include: Employees - Volunteers Recreationists Tourists

The Story of Analysis

• Our story revolves around a recreationist named Hanz.

Hanz likes spending his weekends in the regatta course of Munich, to enjoy the magnificent scenery there and practice his favorable hobbies, cycling and jogging that helps him to relax from the long working week. but Hanz finds some difficulties in practicing what he loves freely around the regatta as he often gets into some conflicts with the professional athletes practicing in the same area as they find recreationsts a bothering for their activities.

• How can Hanz practice in the regatta course without having any conflicts with anyone? without bothering the athletes or other recreationists?

Reflect on your Story of Analysis

• IN DEVELOPING AN ALL-INCLUSIVE, WORKABLE DESIGN SCHEME, IT IS IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY THE PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS ARE AT ALL LEVELS; THIS WILL BE INVALUABLE GUIDE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AS THEIR PARTICIPATION WILL ENSURE THAT COMMUNAL EXPECTATIONS ARE MET UPON COMPLETING THE PROJECT.

• THE BUFFET METHOD IS IDENTIFIED AS AN APPROPRIATE DESIGN APPROACH IN THE DIVERSE MUNICH-OBERSCHLEIgHEIM COMMUNITY. THE VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS COME FROM DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE, HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS AND OPINIONS WHICH INVARIABLY SHAPE THEIR RESPECTIVE EXPECTATIONS. THIS METHOD HELPS BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER WITHOUT ANY BIAS AND ENGAGES THEM IN A PRODUCTIVE ENDEAVOUR THAT WILL HELP SHAPE THEIR COMMUNITY.

• ALL CONVERSATIONS AT THE BUFFET PLUS THE DESIGN OUTCOMES POSITED BY THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY MEMBERS (BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES AND LEVELS OF EXPOSURE) WILL HELP GUIDE THE DESIGN PROFESSIONALS DURING THE DESIGN AND PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PHASES, ENSURING THAT A FULLY FUNCTIONAL,

Phase C: Collaborative Visioning and Goal Setting

The Scene in your Story of Visioning

The challenge in our story is the conflict happening between the different users of the regatta course, based on some reviews of the visitors online and few survey answers from the regatta workers, we could conduct our landscape democracy challenge, since the corona situation prevented us from going personally on site we had to do our research electronically.

The Actors in your Story of Visioning

Main actors:

Sponsors: are the main financial source for most of the athletes, clubs and associations that use the regatta center

Athletes: Are the main users of the regatta, after all the center was originally build for the 1972 olympic rowing games

sub actors:

Recreationists - Tourists and Visitors who use the regatta for relaxation time by using the different activities that the center offer, or enjoying their hobbies like cycling and jogging, they are an important income source for the surrounding hotels and leisure centers

Regatta staff: are the regatta management who are responsible for the organisation and implementation of the different events held on the center

The Story of Visioning

The next story explains our goals, vision and our action plan and how we obtained them;

Scene 1; In 2015 Munich's city council decided to change the regatta's olympic character and build a recreational park instead

Scene 2; In 2016 the regatta's stakeholders started acting to save the regatta by creating a petition to be delivered to Munich's city council, they collected more than 16000 signatures. Te delegation was consisted of Johan who represents the rowing teams and the different associations and Anna, a canoeist who's father was a golden medal winner in the 1972 olympic games and who is a regatta worker

Scene 3; In 2019 the city council decided to keep regatta's Olympic character and start a renovation plan

  Action plan

the most important points when formulating our goals are;

• Environmentally responsible; Respect the environment and help to get it better

• Socially responsible; Respect and integrate with every social group of the community

• Dynamism; It is important to be characterized with serious actions and activity

• Aesthetic; Beauty is a very important element of any designer's work

Phase D: Collaborative Design, Transformation and Planning

Your Prototyping Action

The aim of this intervention is to create an environment where the different demography of users, that we previously identified, can make use of the regatta facility without clashes. So any design element we add, anything we propose is going towards solving an existing problem.

This intervention signifies that design can be an equalizer in a community and that it can actually solve the problems in our area. By proposing this intervention in the project area we want people, from different demography, to actually enjoy the facilities without any bias.
