PROJECT PERSPECTIVE
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.
Screening
The screening step includes the following elements that will define which projects are selected for in-depth analysis.
- Check whether sustainable issues are addressed (related to our hypotheses)
- Core topics addressed by the projects
- Keywords marking projects or parts of projects
- Availability of project results
Hypotheses
The following hypotheses have been developed to serve as a reference for the project analysis and do not claim to fully represent all driving forces of spatial development. They have been used to identify and structure approaches of Sustainable Spatial Development (SSD) in the projects analysed. Hypotheses on sustainable spatial development have been synthesized on the basis of the following documents:
Transnational Topics of Sustainable Spatial Development
In order to identify the transnational topics in Alpine area, two documents deem to be of high priority.
- The Guiding Principles for Sustainable Spatial Development for the European Continent (CEMAT 2000) and
- the Alpine Convention Protocol on Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development.
Based on these documents and adjusted to mountain Environments, transnational topics are compiled in a grouping to CEMAT’s 10 main principles:
