1 What is backcasting & why do we need it
2 Tools for complexity studies We need tools to find options to solve complex problems like Sustainable Development Long term Great uncertainties Great number of stakeholders Conflicting interests Multi dimensional Multi sectoral
3 Predict most likely future Future Explore alternative futures Future Assess feasibility of desirable future Future Present Present Present
4 Forecasting Backcasting
5 SD & future studies SD has a strong future orientation, therefore future studies are relevant for SD New approaches are needed: Combining long-term vision and short-term action Involvement of a broad range of stakeholders Incorporating environmental, social and economic component CST: Culture, Structure & Technology In sum: participatory integrated strategic approaches
6 E FF I C IE N CY How to deal with the future? Innovations based on needs and function Optimal use Improvement of process and product TIME
7 Culture Needs & Functions E FF I C IE 100 Technology Needs Functions Structure N CY 1? 20 TIME
8 Why Backcasting? Clear future visions have a strong guiding power Man on the Moon, MDG, City of Curitiba etc. Defining and clarifying an attractive sustainable future It forces to specify norms and values Alternative for traditional forecasting Fit for wicked problems Experiences: The Natural Step Netherlands: Sustainable Technology Development program
9 Backcasting: from vision to action VISION of the future E FF I C IE N CY Backcasting CHARACTERISTICS Explicitly normative Participatory System oriented Desired futures & changes (action-oriented) Combines process, design, analysis Transdisciplinary Helpful if institutions / rule system lack TIME
10 Backcasting Toolkit: 4 kinds of methods Participation and interaction workshops, visioning, creativity stimulation, brain storms Design and scenario methods modeling, forecasting Analysis and modeling methods LCA, effect analysis, stakeholder analysis Management methods Process, Project and Network management
11 Stakeholders & sustainability Definition a social group / individual that can affect or can be affected by a topic / organisation / decision Why stakeholder participation is important: enhanced legitimacy context / group specific knowledge increased reflexivity / quality of outcomes support for outcomes (co-ownership) learning (mental frameworks) accountability (increased co-responsibility)
12 Backcasting in 5 steps 1. Analysis 2. Design 3. What is necessary? 4. Action plan 5. Follow-up 1. Strategic problem orientation 2. Develop future vision 3. Backcasting analysis 4. Elaborate future alternative & define follow-up agenda 5. Embed result and agenda & stimulate follow-up Quist J (2007) Backcasting for a sustainable future: the impact after ten years, Eburon Publishers, Delft NL, ISBN
13 Backcasting: step by step VISION of the future 2 E FF I C IE Backcasting 3 Strategic problem orientation 1 N CY 4 Action plan 5 TIME
14 Step 1 Strategic problem orientation 1A. Topic, setting boundaries, goals & demands 1B. Define own backcasting methodology & work/process plan 1C. System analysis (regime analysis) e.g. also external factors (2 types) and niches 1D. Actor/stakeholder analysis 1E. Problem analysis & problem definition
15 Step 2 Make future vision 2A. Set normative demands E.g. factor 20, attractive for whom, etc. 2B. Generate & elaborate ideas 2C. Make 1 or several visions: Dimensions for variation (scale, lifestyle, consumption) System dimensions (e.g. buying, storing, treating, consuming)
16 Step 3 Backcasting analysis 3A. WHAT-WHO-HOW analysis: technological, cultural-behavioural, organizational, and structural-institutional changes 3B. Update Stakeholder identification: required stakeholders and actions 3C. Drivers and barriers analysis
17 Step 4/5 Elaboration, agenda, pathway problem orientation 4A. Vision elaboration & assessment Link to stakeholder interviews (e.g. by ) 4B. Define action-agenda & follow-up recommendations 4C. Make pathway towards future 4D. Communication & implementation plan 4E. Elaborate 1 specific project proposal

22 Backcasting Exercise 1. Analysis Defining system boundaries 2. Design Stakeholder analysis 3. What is necessary? Elaboration of criteria for the vision 4. Action plan Driver analysis. Identification of key uncertainties 5. Follow-up Developing pathways (backcasting analysis)
23 Defining system boundaries 5 minutes What is appropriate time frame (2030, 2050)? Why? How many scenarios/visions (1 or several)? Why? Transport: at what scale (local, regional, national)? Why? What are main parts of transportation system in Vilanova. What are system boundaries?
24 Defining system boundaries Territory Internal mobility (Vilanova only) Tarragona - Barcelona Regional mobility (Catalunya) Type Passengers only Passengers + Cargos Time frame > 20xx Number of visions > 3-4
25 Train Bus Intercity Intracity Car Taxis Bicycle Motorcycle Walk Current situation means of transportation
26 Current situation problems Economic Affordability for people Environmental pollution problems due to big number of cars Urban comfort space usage by cars Time concern much time is used Safety Limited usage of bicycles
27 interest Stakeholder grid high Subjects Players ( Movers and shakers ) Bystanders / Crowd ( Dead Wood ) Actors / Context Setters ( Unguided missiles ) low power high Source: Eden and Ackermann (1998: 122)
28 Stakeholder analysis 10 minutes 1. Identify stakeholders (people, groups, organizations, etc.) BONUS 1. Assess power (impact) and interest of stakeholders 2. Identify main conflict and union points for different stakeholders
29 interest Stakeholder grid high Stakeholder 3 Stakeholder 1 Stakeholder 2 low power high
30 Stakeholders = Not only Individuals and organisations, that can influence issue (topic, decision) or that can be influenced by issue (topic, decision) But also companies experts knowledge institutes governments societal organizations
31 interest Stakeholder grid high Commuters Employees of transport companies Inhabitants Employers Environmental NGOs Researchers & entrepreneurs Tourist businesses Manufacturing companies Construction companies Media Funding institutions Energy companies Goods providers Urban planners Service providers Local government Regional government low 1. Local government 2. Operating companies 3. R&D 4. Energy companies power 5. Commuters / Inhabitants 6. NGOs high
32 Identify needs 5 minutes 1. What are needs for mobility in Vilanova?
33 Identifying needs Accessibility Food Medicare Work Leisure Education
34 Work in groups Remember of your personal role as a stakeholder Aim to achieve consensus in the group accounting even minor opinions Be active!
35 Elaborate criteria for the future vision 10 minutes 1. What are good/ relevant criteria for a future transportation system(s) in Vilanova? 2. Assess elaborated criteria in points [0-5]. 3. Select 5 most valuable criteria.
