 Spatial development is a crucial issue in the Alpine Space  where economy, society and environment have to coexist in a very confined space. Any small action taken in any of these fields can trigger big alterations in the others. In the same way, actions taken at local, regional or national level have consequences that affect other countries within the Alpine Space. Spatial development is a crucial issue in the Alpine Space  where economy, society and environment have to coexist in a very confined space.

 A balanced and shared territorial development in all the Alpine Space countries needs appropriate, current and manageable information for a sound decision-making. Nowadays the big and diverse amount of information available makes finding the correct and useful pieces very difficult and time consuming.  A balanced and shared territorial development in all the Alpine Space countries needs appropriate, current and manageable information for a sound decision-making.

 =====2. Methodology===== =====2. Methodology=====
 +----
 +
 +To obtain a multidisciplinary overall picture of spatial development in the Alpine Space, WIKIAlps analyses it from three different angles. 
 +  * The tools available through the results of selected  Alpine Space projects. 
 +  * The actors involved, through a stakeholders analysis. 
 +  * And the challenges and needs through relevant spatial development documents at the regional, national and international level, and conversations with stakeholders.
 +
 +The methodology used to undertake the different analysis has been developed by Ifuplan.
 ====2.1 Project Analysis==== ====2.1 Project Analysis====
 The project analysis within WIKIAlps is carried out in two steps: a broader screening of results as provided by final reports and project websites of all projects in the two thematic fields (Inclusive growth and Resource efficiency and ecosystem management) is followed by an in-depth analysis of selected projects. The project analysis within WIKIAlps is carried out in two steps: a broader screening of results as provided by final reports and project websites of all projects in the two thematic fields (Inclusive growth and Resource efficiency and ecosystem management) is followed by an in-depth analysis of selected projects.

 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +Spatial development is a really multi-faceted task that integrates all spatially relevant aspects of sectoral policies and processes.  
 +Sustainable spatial development is the attempt to transfer the general sustainability objectives to spatial development, by this bridging the gap between the concept of sustainability and its spatial implications (cf. Marzelli, Lintzmeyer & Schwarz 2008).  
 +According to Keiner (2005) the following objectives in can be considered as such a concretisation of sustainable spatial development objectives: 
 + 
 +  * Densify settlements and economically use land resources 
 +  * Reduce traffic through co-ordination of urban development and public transport and promote environmentally compatible tourism 
 +  * Safeguard environmental quality and protect the population from immissions and risks from waste treatment, disposal and natural hazards 
 +  * Protect, promote and establish links between unintersected and semi-natural stretches of land  
 +  * Decentrally concentrate economic activities, central-place-functions and settlement nodes 
 +  * Secure access to land as a factor of production in centres of economic development 
 +  * Efficiently use energy 
 +  * Safeguard access to basic infrastructural needs of energy and communication 
 +  * Secure cultural landscapes through agriculture that operates nature-oriented 
 +  * Protect valuable architectural ensembles of villages and landscape 
 + 
 +What are for the Alpine area most relevant [[wiki:transnational topics of SSD]] ? 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +__**B)Transnational approaches**__ 
 +What does it mean to speak of a transnational dimension?  
 + 
 +The INTERREG III programme (cf. Dosch et al. 2005, pg. 662) defined a clear cross-border/transnational character of activities – which is true also for the Alpine Space Programme. 
 + 
 +A transnational dimension is given if operations and activities have been  
 +  - jointly selected and  
 +  - implemented in two or more member states or associates,  
 +  - or implemented in only one state, but are significantly affecting other member states or associates. 
 + 
 +While the first two criteria are relatively easy to verify, the latter may be difficult to assess and even more to quantify e.g. in the case of flood protection or transport infrastructure.  
 + 
 +The relevance of transnational activities for spatial development is also expressed in the objectives of the Alpine Convention Protocol on Spatial Development Article 4. 
 +Consequently, transnational needs and requirements of spatial development would refer to  
 +  * spatially relevant issues that require activities of two or more member states  
 +  * or to needs or activities of one member state that have far-reaching consequences that also affect other member states or such consequences can be obviously concluded from the type of activity.

 These transnational needs and challenges may in a later stage also be used as a methodological tool in the project analysis to assess which of the needs and challenges are being addressed in Alpine Space projects and which of these have been unrepresented. These transnational needs and challenges may in a later stage also be used as a methodological tool in the project analysis to assess which of the needs and challenges are being addressed in Alpine Space projects and which of these have been unrepresented.
