Concept of Land Use
The concept of circular flow land use management can be described with the slogan “reduce - recycle – avoid”. To create
Practical Application
To incorporate the circular flow land use management concept into the practice of city planning in Central Europe, the project “Circular Flow Land Use Management (CircUse)” was initiated by the European Union Central Europe organization [2] as well as co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. The CircUse project involves 12 partner organizations and 3 associated organizations in the six countries of Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland and Slovakia. The lead organization is the Institute for the Ecology of Urban Areas (IETU), located in Katowice, Poland.[3] The main core outputs of the CircUse project will be:
- A Circular Flow Land Use Management Strategy
- Position paper on existing and new instruments
- Separate training materials for professionals and school children
- Management structures (one newly formed and another modified from its previous form) that incorporate the CircUse principles
- Developed action plans for six pilot regions
- A land management data tool available as a software package
- A compendium summarizing the entire project
Timeframe
The CircUse project was initiated in March 2010 and is scheduled to run until the end of February 2013.

CircUse also builds on the experiences the German "ExWoSt Research Field: Circular land use management in cities and urban regions” (ExWoSt Themafeld: Kreislaufwirtschaft in der städtischen/stadtregionalen Flächennutzung) [4] and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) Research Programme "Research for the Reduction of Land Consumption and for Sustainable Land Management" (Forschung für die Reduzierung der Flächeninanspruchnahme und ein nachhaltiges Flächenmanagement). Similar projects carried out by other organizations include the European Union PLUREL project.[5]
