Playing Area – learning the value of a land area by playing a game

• Awareness of problems related to land use and land consumption is still inadequate outside professional groups.
• Against this background the Playing Area project (www.spiel-flaeche.de) is aimed at developing a prototype for a computer game based on land area.
• The Web-based computer game Playing Area puts the individual players in the situation of a decision-maker. The central parameter for winning is the lowest possible ratio between sealed and unsealed areas.
