Summary note

• Für geschützte Trockengebiete stellt diese Studie einen neuen Entwicklungsansatz dar, der ökonomische und ökologische Entwicklung eint und Natur- und Kulturlandschaften für den Ökotourismus erschließt. Am Beispiel der geschützten Wüstenregion Shobak in Jordanien, reich an historischem Erbe und Biodiversität, entwirft sie für Naturschutz und Regionalentwicklung auf strategisch innovative Weise Werkzeuge für die Inwertsetzung der Potenziale von wilden trockenen Gebieten. Mit den Mitteln von Landschaftsarchitektur und Architektur, Ressourcenmanagement und Ökologie werden maßgeschneiderte Lösungen entwickelt, die resilient auf Veränderungen des sozioökonomischen Kontexts in rauhen Trockengebieten reagieren.
• In the field of desert conservation, this book presents a new approach that preserves ecosystems, fosters local economic development and capitalizes on both natural and cultural landscapes for ecotourism. Situated in the special protected area of Shobak, a Jordanian desert region rich in historical background and biodiversity, the innovative strategic plan unites the goals of nature preservation and regional development in a groundbreaking way, by developing tools for promoting the untapped potentials of wild arid areas. It integrates the professions of landscape architecture and architecture with various other disciplines including natural resources management and ecology in order to provide complex, tailored solutions that are resilient to shifting socio-political contexts and harsh arid environments.
