CHECK LIST
Situation before the initiative began
Briefly descibe the situation before
the initiative including major issues, trends and
conditions in the area. Please specify which
social groups were most affected, including
women, men and youth, e.g. ethnic minority.
The more the faced problems are relevant and
suitable to be transferred to other contexts and
among social groups of interest where there are
week subjects, the more the submitted practice
results appraisable.

At the beginning of the 90-ies, people moved out
of small and middle-sized towns, into the region
of Vienna, the Austrian capital. The bigger the
distance of the town to Vienna, the bigger was
the effect. The economic activities and cultural
activities in the towns were often low and
therefore especially young people migrated. This
movement caused a brain drain from the rural
regions. The Urban Regeneration Programme was one
measure taken to stop this development. The
Programme targets the Soft Factors for economic
development by improving the quality of life in
towns.
ASSESSMENT 1
JUDGEMENT
This practice faces problems, such as
depopulation and social changes in the alpine
space due to the difficulties in adapting to the
technological progress, which have a social and
economical relevance and are shared in all the
alpine territories. Moreover, womens involvement
and the promotion of their employment make it an
exemplary case.

The submitted programme of urban regeneration regards topics shared in all the alpine space, like depopulation and marginality, which were faced by networking the different actors (institutions and populations belonging to each municipality). The involvement and the matching among local actors has started up an almost established process (500 financed projects) of social and economic development, which has allowed the relaunch of competitiveness of these zones, with a view to social, economic and environmental sustainability.

FURTHER TASKS

• PROVIDE THE MISSING PRACTICES ABOUT CASE STUDIES
• MAKE A SELF-EVALUATION USING THE CHECK LIST
• PROVIDE A FINAL JUDGEMENT (10 LINES) WHICH
  STESSES THE
• SUCCESSFUL ASPECTS OF EACH CASE STUDY
• PROVIDE A LIST OF RECCOMENDATIONS i.e. LESSONS
  LEARNED
• TO BE TRANSFERRED FOR EACH CASE STUDY

The list has to be short and precise
NOT A participatory process is required BUT

• What kind of participation
• How many people to involve at each stage
• Etc
