Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag untersucht unter Anwendung eines modifizierten biokybernetischen Sensitivitätsmodells nach Vester die räumlichen Wirkungen des 33 km südlich von Wien gelegenen FOC "Leoville" auf die kleine Gemeinde von Leobersdorf. In dessen Verlauf wird u.a. eine Typologie von Factory Outlet Centers entwickelt. Die eigentliche Fallstudie verläuft in vier aufeinander folgenden Schritten der Sensitivitätsanalyse ab: zunächst in der Identifizierung von Variablen, die das Modell beschreiben, dann in der Darstellung der wechselseitigen Wirkungen der Variablen aufeinander in einer Matrix, der Verknüpfung der Variablen, um die Strukturen der Zusammenhänge sichtbar zu machen und in einer verbalen Evaluation der wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und ökologischen Folgen des FOC auf Gemeinde und Region.
In the late 1990s, the first large-scale American-style Factory Outlet Center (FOC) was established in Austria. In 2005, another, namely the FOC Leoville of this case study, opened just 80 km away in the small industrial town Leobersdorf, a town of 4.200 inhabitants 30 km south of Vienna. The paper examines the spatial impact of the retail complex on the local and regional levels by means of a modified sensitivity model based on Vester (Hesler 1994). The interrelationships of the impact areas were made clearly visible and the correlation of the system's dynamics with the eight rules of bio-cybernetics (i.e., principles that viable systems abide by) was assessed. Finally, the variables that have the most effect on the other variables identified, thus pointing up where spatial planning measures will be most effective in changing the entire system. Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis and the bio-cybernetics assessment, recommendations are made, the most crucial being transforming, the loop of positive feedback into a loop of negative feedback. This means defining a final stage of expansion for the FOC in Leobersdorf and might even imply turning commercial building land back into another category of land use.
