Organisational unit: Institute

Organisation profile

The Institute for Urban and Cultural Area Research is part of the School of Culture and Society at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg. It is divided into the departments of Building Culture, Cultural Geography and Tourism Studies.

Main research areas

Department Cultural Geography

In the Department of Cultural Geography, the question of the relation to space plays a major role. From this geographical perspective, cultural landscape research is conducted, also in the historical-geographical sense. Not only from a historical perspective urban spaces are examined in urban-geographical contexts. Further focal points are geographic transport research and economic-geographic issues.

An overview of the fields of research:

-    Transport Geography
-    Economic Geography
-    City Geography
-    (Historical) Cultural Landscape Research

Department of Building Culture

Overview of the research fields:

-    Digital and haptic architecture models
-    Computer integration in the creative planning process
-    Revitalization - Cultural heritage

Department of Tourism Studies

The research of the Department of Tourism Studies covers the following areas:

-    Travel/holidays as leisure activity and appropriation of space
-    Leisure as a late-modern phenomenon
