Abstract
Vielfältige lokale Ökonomien sind ein zentraler Faktor für das Gelingen von Nachhaltigkeitstransformationen auf kommunaler Ebene. Doch gerade die heterogenen Strukturen inhabergeführter, ortsansässiger (Klein‑)Betriebe scheinen in ihrer Existenz von voranschreitenden überregionalen Marktkonzentrations- und Filialisierungsprozessen bedroht. Gleichzeitig haben kommunale Planung, Verwaltung und Politik bisher nicht alle Bereiche lokaler Ökonomien vollumfänglich im Blick. Die Suche nach Hebelpunkten für Governance-Interventionen zur Förderung und zum Erhalt lokaler Ökonomien erfordert mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Auch das Fallbeispiel des vorliegenden Beitrags, das inhabergeführte, ortsansässige Lebensmittelhandwerk, ist von existenziellen Schwierigkeiten bedroht. Über qualitative Experteninterviews mit Bäckereien und Metzgereien in zwei süddeutschen Mittelstädten wird den Ursachen des Betrieberückgangs und diesbezüglicher betriebsinterner Strategien nachgegangen. Dies erfolgt aus systemischer Perspektive, in Form der Modellierung von Kausalschleifendiagrammen und der Einordnung dieser in die Typologie sogenannter Systemarchetypen. Ziel des Beitrags ist die Identifikation von Hebelpunkten für Governance-Interventionen, über welche die Stadtentwicklung die Branchen einer kleinteiligeren lokalen Ökonomie gezielt unterstützen kann.
The diversity of local economies represents a central factor for the success of sustainability transformations at municipal levels. But especially the heterogeneous structures of family-owned, locally based (small-scale) businesses seem to be threatened in their existence by market concentration and branching processes. At the same time, municipal planning departments as well as local administrations and politics have not yet taken account of all sectors of local economies and their differing needs. Searching levers for governance interventions to promote and maintain local economies therefore requires more attention. Family-owned, locally based (small-scale) food trade businesses, which represent the case study of this paper, are currently exposed to existential threats. In a first step, the causes of the business closures and the accompanying expectations and strategic considerations are analysed via qualitative expert interviews with bakeries and butchers in two medium-sized towns in Southern Germany. This is done from a systemic perspective, in the form of modelling causal loop diagrams and the classification of these into so-called system archetypes. The aim is, in a second step, to identify leverage points for governance interventions, through which local authorities can support the branches of the (small-scale) local economy.
