Constellation analysis - td-net toolbox profile 20 td-net, Schäfer, M. 2022

This method develops constellations of social actors, natural elements, technical elements as well as signs/ symbols with regard to an issue. It involves heterogenous groups with the intention to find the constellation most participants can agree to.

The constellation analysis (CA) develops constellations. Constellations are relations between heterogenous elements that build a cohesive cluster. Four types of elements are differentiated: social actors, natural elements, technical elements as well as signs symbols. During the CA, equal importance is assigned to all elements and there is a focus on the relations between them. This method involves experts from science and practice with the intention to find the constellation reflecting the perceived reality most participants can accept or even share.

    A growing number of inter- and transdisciplinary (ITD) toolkits provide methods, processes, concepts, heuristics, frameworks, and other resources for designing and implementing ITD research. A brief overview of the currently fragmented toolkits landscape is provided, fleshed out through descriptions of four toolkits.
