Where does WIKIAlps come from?
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.
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.
What is the purpose of WIKIAlps?
WIKIAlps aim is to facilitate a balanced and shared territorial development in the Alpine Space by overcoming national borders.
How?
Providing operative ready-to-use tools to facilitate decision makers, civil servants, researchers and entrepreneurs on this task. WIKIAlps is a dedicated instrument to gather and capitalise on experiences, results and methods from selected Alpine Space 2007 - 2013 projects, especially in the areas of “inclusive growth” and “resource efficiency and ecosystem management”. It highlights:
- Not recognised synergies
- Remaining gaps
- Achievements that could be further implemented
- Emerging contradictions
- Potential requirements and benefits for sustainable transnational spatial development.
WIKIAlps approaches the analyses from three different perspectives:
- Project perspective: Analysing the tools available through the results of selected Alpine Space projects. Re-organising the outcomes of these projects
- Policy perspective: Identification of transnational needs and challenges based on the analysis of selected transnational and national official documents.
- Stakeholder perspective: Competences matrix of stakeholders involved in spatial development in the Alpine Space.
