2. Description de l'Approche de GDT

2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

The SLM approach can be defined as community supported mobile urban farm, which serves the goals of vegetable production, and place of learning and knowledge sharing.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Aims / objectives: The objective of the SLM approach 'Prinzessinnengarten' was to create an urban garden on a waste land plot in the center of Berlin. The plot was characterised by having sealed and contaminated soils, which is characteristic for open land plots in most urban areas. The garden is supposed to practically demonstrate an ecologically and socially different approach to urban spaces and their inhabitants, enable the social empowerment of marginalized communities. Furthermore opportunities for local micro-economies and other economic models are supposed to be created. In an unobtrusive and pragmatic way, urban gardens in general aim to raise the question of 'How we want to live in our cities in the future?

Methods: The project was first was implemented by the group Nomadisch Grün (Nomadic Green) in summer of 2009. Along with friends, activists and neighbours, the group realised the first steps of implementation through clearing of rubbish and through the construction of the first cultivation units. The project, being open to everybody, attracted new participants quite fast. Now the garden owes its existence to the commitment of countless neighbors and interested people. The work of these participants, their diverse skills and ideas transform the place continuously.

Stages of implementation: I. Development of the idea. During this phase of implementation mainly Robert Shaw (he was involved in similar projects in Cuba before) and Marco Clausen were involved.. II. Implementation in practice. Starting in summer of 2009, the project idea was being implemented on the ground by a group of people. During this stage of implementation mainly physical work, such as the clearing of rubbish was realised. III. Opening to the wider public (still ongoing). The non-profit company 'Nomadisch Grün (Nomadic Green) serves as a framework for the different social, educational and economic activities with the primary aim of making the garden a place of learning. Skills are gained through practical experience and knowledge sharing.

2.7 Type d'Approche

  • initiative/ innovation récente locale

2.8 Principaux objectifs de l'Approche

The Approach focused mainly on other activities than SLM (utilisation of waste land/abandoned land plots, urban areas,production of vegetables, place of knowledge sharing)

The aim of the project was to find solutions for the lack of knowledge sharing within the society and to address the topic of food production.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: The main problems addressed by the approach can be described as manifold, e.g. insufficient local food production, or the general lack of public spaces for knowledge sharing and exchange within the community.

2.9 Conditions favorisant ou entravant la mise en œuvre de la(des) Technologie(s) appliquée(s) sous l'Approche

disponibilité/ accès aux ressources et services financiers
  • entrave

Treatment through the SLM Approach: attempt to diversify the income

cadre institutionnel
  • entrave

no official institution is clearly responsible for this type of approach

Treatment through the SLM Approach: regular exchange with politicians, especially on local level

cadre juridique (régime foncier, droits d'utilisation des terres et de l'eau)
  • favorise

The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights helped a little the approach implementation: As the existing land ownership was already known before the implementation of the approach started, this aspect was being strongly considered (leading to the design of a mobile cultivation system). Furthermore the existing land ownership (the community is owning the land) led to the possibility to have public negotiations about the renting contract. If the area would have been in private ownership such negotiations would not have been possible and it is more than likely that the Approach could not have been realised in the way it is realised now.

  • entrave

no long term renting contract, no official institution is clearly responsible for this type of approach

Treatment through the SLM Approach: political campaign

charge de travail, disponibilité de la main-d'œuvre
  • entrave

due to the high presence in the media there is a high demand for communication acitivities

Treatment through the SLM Approach: establishment of paid jobs to have people working professionally on certain topics

3. Participation et rôles des parties prenantes impliquées dans l'Approche

3.1 Parties prenantes impliquées dans l'Approche et rôles

  • exploitants locaux des terres / communautés locales

In the surroundings of the Moritzplatz a great part of the population were/are immigrants (most of them coming from muslim countries) and people without a job. In principle the project was/is open for all people, including disadvantaged groups as well. During the interviews it was said though that the selling and consumption of alcohol on the project area could have led to the fact that especially immigrants from muslim countries could have been felt excluded.

Thèmes abordés:

Through creating a open public space/place and by offering manifold practical activity the approach provides training by using a peer to peer approach on topics like biodiversity, healthy eating, recycling, environmental justice, climate change and food sovereignty. This training / awareness raising takes place informally (peer to peer) as well as formally (announced courses, lectures, discussions)

4.2 Service de conseils

4.4 Suivi et évaluation

Le suivi et l'évaluation font ils partie de l'Approche? :

Oui

Commentaires:

bio-physical aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored by other through measurements

technical aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

socio-cultural aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

economic / production aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

no. of land users involved aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

management of Approach aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

There were several changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: There is a constant change according to the findings of the monitoring and the needs/possibilites of the project participants.

There were few changes in the Technology as a result of monitoring and evaluation: The research of the Technical University of Berlin showed that vegetables which were cultivated very close to the street, contained more pollutants. Therefore a 'green belt' of about 2 m width was established around the garden, where only non-food-crops are cultivated

6. Analyses d'impact et conclusions

6.1 Impacts de l'Approche

Est-ce que l'Approche a aidé les exploitants des terres à mettre en œuvre et entretenir les Technologies de GDT?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

The approach helped the land users to cultivate on areas, which were not suitable for cultivation before. Furthermore the approach enhanced the knowledge sharing concering different topics regarding sustainable land management. Therefore the impact of the Approach on SLM is not only to be measured on the project area itself, but also under consideration of the outreach of the project.

Est-ce que l'Approche a autonomisé les groupes socialement et économiquement défavorisés?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

Through the Approach a space for knowledge sharing was created, which is also open for socially and economically disadvantaged groups. The utilisation of this space by the groups in question is limited up to date though.

Did other land users / projects adopt the Approach?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

The approach was adopted in modified ways in several urban gardening projects accross Germany. It is not possible to quantify the number. A guess would be around 20.

Did the Approach lead to improved livelihoods / human well-being?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

Creation of a space open to the public, which is dedicated for knowledge sharing.

Did the Approach help to alleviate poverty?
  • Non
  • Oui, un peu
  • Oui, modérément
  • Oui, beaucoup

The goal of the approach was not set on the alleviation of poverty.

Creation of paid jobs
Points forts/ avantages/ possibilités du point de vue du compilateur ou d'une autre personne ressource clé
self-financed
sharing of knowledge (possible between all participants)
open to everybody
