Abstract: Der Beitrag vermittelt theoretische und empirische Erkenntnisse zu gesellschaftlichem Raum in die Bildungspraxis. Ausgehend von Dieter Läpples gesellschaftstheoretisch begründetem Raumkonzept (1991) werden inter- bzw. transdisziplinär relevante Fragen zur Bestimmung von Raum formuliert. Am Beispiel von drei Ortserkundungen werden Ansätze für raumbezogene Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung zur Diskussion gestellt, die aus der universitären Lehrpraxis stammen. Daraus werden erste Schlussfolgerungen für Raum-Bildung auf unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Handlungsebenen abgeleitet
