Interests

  Themes

• In my academic research, I primarily focus on rural–urban development and aim at understanding and solving problems related to environmental perception and land use in mountain regions. Moreover, I am also interested in research on tourism development in mountain regions—often in transdisciplinary settings.

  Regions

• The regional foci of my work are on the central South American Andes and the eastern European Alps. For the sake of comparison, I am also interested in other European and non-European mountain regions.
