Questionnaire for pilot sites Collection of facts and information of pilot sites for building a comparative, transnational typology of alpine territories For project partners: Please fill in the predefined gaps and boxes and try to answer all the questions clearly and completely. Use the predefined boxes and stick to the space limitations. If space isn’t enough, please use the attached document to add more information. The questionnaire will be transferred directly into a kind of factsheet of your pilot site. Therefor please try to give clear information and formulate it well, so that it can be used for presenting your pilot site. If you have questions concerning the filling in, the meaning of a question or anything else, do not hesitate to contact us (iSpace – Dagmar Lahnsteiner, [email protected], CEREMA – David Caubel, [email protected]) Name and type of the territory: Pays Horloger : group of the 3 following intermunicipalities: Communauté de communes du Pays de Maîche (43 municipalities), Communauté de Communes du plateau du Russey (17 municipalities), Communauté de communes du Val de Morteau (8 municipalities) Location (political district / region, federal province, country, other relevant position information): The Pays Horloger pilote site is located in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté Region, in Doubs department. It is considered as being a territorial and rural balance territory grouping 3 intermunicipalities. It borders with Switzerland (mainly connected to La Chaux-de-Fonds and Neuchatel, the two majors closer Switzerland cities). The Pays Horloger is composed with five areas characterized by their relief. The succession of valleys (Doubs and Dessoubre, Morteau valley) and plateaus (Maîche-Le Russey, Belleherbe) provides a wide variety of landscapes, authentic atmospheres, and encourages a multitude of activities in all seasons. It includes 68 municipalities in which the major centre is Morteau in the South. 1 - PART A: MAIN TERRITORIAL FEATURES - Factor Description Please fill in… Population Number of inhabitants (main residence) and year 44 530 inhab (2013) - shares by age groups 59 towns (- 1 000 inhab) 19 165 main residences (household) (2012) - share of working population - 14,6 % of the population : 65 years old and + - 24.5% of the population : - 20 years old - 23 298 workers in 2012 (active population 15-64 years old) Area Total area of the municipality in km² 700 km2 Pop. density Number of inhabitants per km² (year) 63,6 inhab / km2 (2013) Settlement Number of inhabitants per km² settlement area/ Town of Morteau : 482 inhab/ density theoretically inhabitable area (year) km2 (2013) Elevation Height above mean sea level in m Global elevation between 400 and 1 300 meters. Highest point: Belvedere of Mont Châteleu in the “Val de Morteau“ Settlement Sprawled settlements or mainly compact? Satellite A predominantly rural area, structure areas around a centre or more disconnected characterized by a centres/settlements? Physical barriers? phenomenon of urban sprawl which is expressed in the recent period, mainly in rural towns. Less than 10 municipalities with more than 1 000 inhabitants. Main town : Morteau Main other towns (+ 1 000 inhab) : Villers, Maiche, Les Fins, Charquement, Le Russey, Montlebon, Damprichard Saint Hippolyte Two structuring axes: - North-South Road Axis Parallel to the Frontier (RD437) - East-West Axis RD 461 (Besançon-Villers le Lac) Topography of Is it flat land / hilly terrain/ alpine valley and basin Mid-mountain territory - settlement area landscape? Other? subjected to the Mountain Law Functional Are there any characteristics describing special In terms of spatial planning, characteristics functions of the municipality (e.g.: popular tourist the historical functioning of 2 destination, concentration of jobs, school centre, the territory, where economic regional centre, winter sport resort, economically spaces have always been attractive, isolated/ central/ interconnected to,..) intertwined in urban areas, continues. There is no traditional way to organize the areas of “economic activities". One of these kinds of areas is “Le Bélieu” or Morteau, Les Fins. Most of the facilities are concentrated in the main municipalities that are forming "clusters". The proximity commercial offer is mainly observable in the most populated municipalities, namely Morteau, Le Russey, Maîche and Les Fins. These commercial facilities offer a daily response to the citizen’s needs. The territory offers a complete range of shops: shopping areas with shopping malls, non-food shops and basic products shops. Morteau appears as a real structuring pole for the entire territory. Morteau's commercial caracteristics meets commercial practices that exceed the demand of the ScoT territory inhabitants. Indeed, the commercial transaction volume known and observable in Morteau is also an evidence of the consumption demand coming from the Swiss population that is looking for cheaper goods in France. This applies in particular to food and culture. - tourism and heritage/patrimony are both key points oft he territory to be developed and promoted: landscapes and remarkable sites that foster and enable an outdoor tourism (summer/winter) with many nature activity offers ; many cultural sites related to watchmaking, characteristic 3 of the regional history. - 3 institutions for dependent elderly people (EHPAD), 1 „home and residence dedicated to autonomy“ of elderly people (MARPA) - 1 hospital in Morteau - 14 nursery schools and 35 elementary schools - a general and technological high school in Morteau and three technical and / or professional high school in Morteau, Fins and Fontenelles. - 3 EHPAD, 1 MARPA - 1 hospital in Morteau Jobs Number of workplaces and employees within the 1 employment area = municipality (year) Morteau 140 000 jobs in the cantons of Jura and Neuchâtel 12 800 salaried employees (2012), about half of them in the Morteau-Villers-Les Fins area 2 000 job seekers in 2012 Commuter Number of working population commuting to outside 9 000 cross-border workers balance the municipality (year) Number of people commuting from outside into the 2059 workers residing outside municipality (year) the territory and working in a municipality of the pilot site (Mobpro 2012) - PART B: MOBILITY SUPPLY AND DEMAND- 1.

A low reliance on public transport despite the supply in the Lons-le-Saunier metropolitan area. - How long is the travel time to the next regional/national centre? ☐ ☐ < 15 min OR the next centre is within the pilot site /municipality 15 – 30 minutes ☐ ☐ 30 – 60 minutes > 60 minutes Besançon Montbéliard Pontarlier Neuchâtel 5 Public Public transports Public Public transports Car (Mobidoubs Car transports Car transports Car (Mobidoubs + local (Mobidoubs) (Mobidoubs) + local trains) trains) Morteau 1:02 1:28 1:30 1:30 0:44 0:45 0:55 1:33 Le Russey 1:01 1:46 1:10 1:10 1:00 1:00 0:58 1:56 Maîche 1:16 2:03 0:53 0:55 1:17 1:18 1:06 2:13 St Hippolyte 1:17 2:12 0:40 0:40 1:22 1:25 1:19 2:26 Access time hh :mm to nearby urban centers
