  • Streiflichter Zur Hotel- Und Tourismusgeschichte Im Saastal Bis Zum Ersten Weltkrieg 1
    STREIFLICHTER ZUR HOTEL- UND TOURISMUSGESCHICHTE IM SAASTAL BIS ZUM ERSTEN WELTKRIEG 1 Roland Flückiger-Seiler 1 Die Entdeckung und Erforschung der Alpenwelt Wichtige Grundlagen für die Entdeckung der Schweizer Alpen als «Garten Edens» leisteten engagierte Forscher und Schriftsteller bereits im frühen 18. Jahrhun- dert. Einer der Ersten war der Zürcher Arzt und Universalgelehrte Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672–1733), der sich als erster Naturforscher nach dem lähmenden 17. Jahrhundert mit wissenschaftlichen Absichten in die Alpen wagte. In den Som- mermonaten durchstreifte er mit seinen Studenten alpine Gegenden und sammelte alle erdenklichen Daten über Natur und Umwelt. Mit diesem Wissen publizierte er 1713 eine vierteilige Karte der Schweiz, die lange Zeit als beste Darstellung der Eidgenossenschaft galt. Die von ihm erhobenen Daten und die eigene Beobach- tung des Gebirges auf seinen Wanderungen über fast alle Schweizer Alpenpässe bildeten die Basis für das seit 1702 in mehreren Auflagen erschienene Lebenswerk ‹Itinera per Helvetiae alpinas regiones›. Bereits 1704 nahm ihn die «Royal Socie- ty» in London als Mitglied auf, eine damals äusserst seltene Ehre für einen Aus- länder. Die Verbreitung seiner naturwissenschaftlichen Arbeiten über die Schweiz 1 Diese Übersicht basiert auf Texten, die der Autor in seinem Buch ‹Berghotels zwischen Alp- weide und Gipfelkreuz› 2015 im Verlag Hier und Jetzt, Baden, veröffentlicht hat. Inzwischen sind noch weitere Fakten zum Vorschein gekommen und die Texte zum Saastal sind hier über- sichtlich zusammengefasst. Der Autor möchte bei dieser Gelegenheit allen danken, die ihn bei seinen Forschungen im Saastal unterstützt haben und noch unterstützen: In erster Linie Damian Bumann als Archivar im «Historischen Archiv Saastal» (HAS). Dann geht der Dank auch an den Stiftungsrat von «Saas ischi Heimat» sowie an Beat Anthamatten und Bernhard Andenmatten, die mir zu wertvollem Material verholfen haben.

Photo: Mike Roberts The Matterhorn is undeniably the most magnificent and well-known peak in the Alps. Its bold pyramidal shape evokes emotions of wonderment and even fear in those who view it for the first time, as its four distinct faces stand omnipotent and menacing over the green meadows below. Separated by sharp ridges, the four faces are orientated to the four points of the compass, the northern aspects within Switzerland while the southern side lies in Italy.

  • Local Collaboration Networks and Sustainable Development in Swiss Rural Areas
    Strengthening Regional Cohesion: Local Collaboration Networks and Sustainable Development in Swiss Rural Areas Christian Hirschi Institute for Environmental Decisions ETH Zurich 16 September 2009 Abstract This paper makes both a theoretical and empirical contribution to a better understanding of how actor network structures play a crucial role in enhancing sustainable development in rural areas. From a theoretical perspective, the paper discusses the relational aspects of the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development and focuses particularly on the ques- tion, how fragmentation and cohesion of local and regional policy networks may foster or hinder a sustainable development of such regions. Empirically, the paper introduces the new regional park policy in Switzerland in which the federal government aims at a better protec- tion and promotion of rural areas that are of high natural, cultural and scenic value. The paper explores how local and regional collaborative network structures have evolved with two park projects in two Swiss cantons and analyzes these structural configurations using concepts and techniques from Social Network Analysis. Based on two standardized surveys carried out in the two regions, the results show that the projects in both cases mainly strengthened the vertical cooperation between governmental agencies across different administrative levels but horizontal coordination between different societal sectors still remains to be improved and consolidated to meet an important criterion of the concept of sustainable development as defined in the federal government’s Sustainable Development Strategy.

  • Price-Martin-F ... Rockies and Swiss Alps.Pdf
    Price, Martin Francis (Ph.D., Geography) Mountain forests as common-property resources: management policies and their outcomes in the Colorado Rockies and the Swiss Alps. Thesis directed by Professor Jack D. Ives This is a historical, comparative study of the development, implementation, and results of policies for managing the forests of the Colorado Rockies and the Swiss Alps, with emphasis on two study areas in each region. The Pikes Peak (Colorado) and Davos (Switzerland) areas have been adjacent to regional urban centers since the late 19th century. The Summit (Colorado) and Aletsch (Switzerland) areas have experienced a rapid change from a resource-based to a tourism-based economy since the 1950s. The study's theoretical basis is that of common-property resources. Three primary outputs of the forests are considered: wood, recreation, and protection. The latter includes both the protection of watersheds and the protection of infrastructure and settlements from natural hazards. Forest management policies date back to the 13th century in Switzerland and the late 19th century in Colorado, but were generally unsuccessful in achieving their objectives. In the late 19th century, the early foresters in each region succeeded in placing the protection of mountain forests on regional, and then national, political agendas. In consequence, by the beginning of the 20th century, federal policies were in place to ensure the continued provision of the primary functions of the forests recognized at that time: protection and timber supply. During the 20th century, these policies have been expanded, with increasing emphasis on the provision of public goods. However, most policies have been reactive, not proactive.

  • Goats As Sentinel Hosts for the Detection of Tick-Borne Encephalitis
    Rieille et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2017) 13:217 DOI 10.1186/s12917-017-1136-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Goats as sentinel hosts for the detection of tick-borne encephalitis risk areas in the Canton of Valais, Switzerland Nadia Rieille1,4, Christine Klaus2* , Donata Hoffmann3, Olivier Péter1 and Maarten J. Voordouw4 Abstract Background: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an important tick-borne disease in Europe. Detection of the TBE virus (TBEV) in local populations of Ixodes ricinus ticks is the most reliable proof that a given area is at risk for TBE, but this approach is time- consuming and expensive. A cheaper and simpler approach is to use immunology-based methods to screen vertebrate hosts for TBEV-specific antibodies and subsequently test the tick populations at locations with seropositive animals. Results: The purpose of the present study was to use goats as sentinel animals to identify new risk areas for TBE in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. A total of 4114 individual goat sera were screened for TBEV-specific antibodies using immunological methods. According to our ELISA assay, 175 goat sera reacted strongly with TBEV antigen, resulting in a seroprevalence rate of 4.3%. The serum neutralization test confirmed that 70 of the 173 ELISA-positive sera had neutralizing antibodies against TBEV. Most of the 26 seropositive goat flocks were detected in the known risk areas in the canton of Valais, with some spread into the connecting valley of Saas and to the east of the town of Brig. One seropositive site was 60 km to the west of the known TBEV-endemic area.
