In-depth analysis of projects

This action serves one of the main objectives of the WIKIAlps project: the project wants to offer better access to concrete project results.

• Therefore the in-depth analysis will focus in the first step on project results and give additional information about them.
• As a second step the “benefit options” of the whole project will be analysed against the background of deeper knowledge about the results and in view of sustainable spatial development. This second step refers to the identification of benefits.
  

The results of each project are further qualified by additional information. The information is not homogeneous for all categories of results. However, a certain set of information is feasible for all project result categories.

The additional information about project outputs is structured by so-called leading questions:

Territory / area of application

• In which region is the result valid, was it developed / applied?
• Have there been common criteria or characteristics for territories of application/pilot areas (e.g. population decline, intensive tourism, periurban areas, natural endowment (lakes, forests) etc.)?
  

Time frame

• When has the result been compiled?
• Is it ‘aging’ (like data, recommendations) or timeless (like a label)?
  

Keywords
Keywords highlighting the main focus of the result. These can be used to detect synergies and interrelations between projects. The better the keywords, the easier a result can be detected by users of the wiki and the easier also correspondences between projects can be discovered. Therefore keywords should be as precise as possible and should not only use the AS program keywords of the project.

Accessibility
Is there full access of data and maps for capitalization (open access, limited access, restricted access)?

Transferability and re-usability

• Is the tool, method, indicator etc. useful in other regions, in other contexts etc.?
• Are adaptions needed / if yes which adaptions?
• What resources are needed for adaption?
• Is it applicable for the whole Alpine Space or only for parts of it?
• If the tool, method, indicator is applicable for parts, for which parts?
• Are the results applicable for other ETC areas ?
  

Sector/sectorial policies addressed
Which sector or sectorial policy is addressed or could be affected by the results of the project? (E.g. education, social care, health, spatial development, regional development, environment, management of natural resources, agriculture, rural development, energy, businesses, trade, transport, ICT, migration…)

Second step Besides the more descriptive information about the results, WIKIAlps focuses on the detection of benefits in the two selected thematic fields. To specify these complex relations, an interpretation of the projects in the light of their contribution to a sustainable spatial development, based on their results will be added to the project information.
