Doch welche Opfer muss man bringen, um ihn zu verwirklichen? Welche Bemfsperspektive hat der Bemf Forscher heute noch? Auch viele Absolventen der Universität Potsdam müssen sich diese Fragen beantworten. Zu welchen Antworten einige dabei gekommen sind und welche Probleme sie zu bewältigen haben, vom Spaß am Forschen und von Zukunftsängsten berichten sie in der Rubrik "Forscherkarrieren". Gelder für die Forschung fließen in Deutschland zu spärlich, verglichen mit anderen führenden Industrienationen. So sind die Bedingungen für Forscher hierzulande nicht die besten. Manchen jungen Wissenschaftler zieht es- mitunter notgedrungen- ins Ausland. Wie Deutschland dadurch seine ZukunftsHihigkeit riskiert, thematisiert der Präsident der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Prof. Dr. Hans-Jörg Bullinger, in der Rubrik "wissenstransfer". Auch die Universität ist kein Garant für eine gesicherte Zukunft in der Forschung. Wer sechs Jahre nach der Promotion den Sprung zur Professur nicht geschafft hat, geht einer ungewissen Zukunft als Privatdozent entgegen. Seit einigen Jahren gibt es neben der Habilitation noch einen zweiten Weg zur Professur- die Juniorprofessur. Auch an der Universität Potsdam gibt es seit 2002 Juniorprofessoren, von denen die ersten jetzt evaluiert wurden. Näheres dazu finden Sie ebenfalls in der Rubrik "wissenstransfer". Wer noch nach einer Finanzierungsmöglichkeit für seine Promotion sucht, findet Tipps in der Rubrik "wegweiser". Die Redaktion wünscht Ihnen viel Vergnügen beim Lesen von Portal alumni und freut sich auf zahlreiche Leserbriefe. N2 - Dear readers, many students dream of researching the world's inner and outermost secrets. Still, what sacrifice must one bring in order to achieve this goa/, and what are the professional perspectives being offered to researchers today? Many University of Potsdom alumni have to find answers to these questions as weil. in the section "forscher/eben", a number of alumni discuss their answers, the problems that they have encountered along the way, the enJoyment that they have received through their research and their worries for the future. In Germany, the funding of research on part ofboth the state and the corporate world is sparsein comparison to other leading industrial countries, and the current opportunities for researchers are clearly not the best. in the section ,.wissenstransfer", the president of the Frauenhofer-Gesellschaft, Prof Dr. Hans-jörg Bullinger, discusses how Germany is losing its future potential in the process. Indeed, the university is no guarantee for a secure profossianal future in the research field. A few years ago, the Junior professorship was created as a second path to a Juli professorship, next to the traditional postdoctoral qualification (Habilitation). in 2002, the University of Potsdom began to establish Junior professorships. The first of these are currently being evaluated. More information on this process can be found in the section "wissenstransfer". In addition, suggestions and tips can be found in the section "wegweiser" for those who are seekingfunding opportunities for their dissertation work.

In addition to representing a unique encounter of natural and socioeconomic factors, coastal areas have become paradigms of progressive urbanisation and economic development. Our study of the infrastructural mega project of Patimban Seaport in Indonesia explores the factors driving land use changes and the subsequent land use conflicts emerging from large-scale land transformation in the course of seaport development and mega project governance. We utilised interviews and questionnaires to investigate institutional aspects and conflict drivers. Specifically, we retrace and investigate the mechanisms guiding how mega project governance, land use planning, and actual land use interact. Therefore, we observe and analyse where land use conflicts emerge and the roles that a lack of stakeholder interest involvement and tenure-responsive planning take in this process. Our findings reflect how mismanagement and inadequate planning processes lead to market failure, land abandonment and dereliction and how they overburden local communities with the costs of mega projects. Enforcing a stronger coherence between land use planning, participation and land tenure within the land governance process in coastal land use development at all levels and raising the capacity of stakeholders to interfere with governance and planning processes will reduce conflicts and lead to sustainable coastal development in Indonesia.

Urban infill development and sustainable spatial climate policies are thus in apparent conflict with each other.

This study identifies three key governance aspects that are essential for promoting the joint implementation: instruments, organisation and interaction. Based on our case studies, we conclude that successful implementation can only be achieved through integrative governance including all three domains.
