ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to provide a brief outline of the RELOCAL project’s concepts, methods, and their application. The chapter thus complements discussion presented in Chapter 2 regarding RELOCAL’s ‘localities approach’ and elaborates on the normative foundations of the project. The chapter is structured into two sections. The first section outlines the conceptual framework of the RELOCAL project by introducing the two key concepts of spatial justice and locality, the relationship between them, and the research methodology that was used in the RELOCAL project. The second section explains how this conceptual framework was applied during the course of the research, and how it was used in work packages. An extended discussion of the project’s concepts and a full list of references are provided for the interested reader.
