  • Finding the Adequate Location Scenario After the Merger of Fire Brigades Thanks to Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis Methods
    F O U N D A T I O N S O F C O M P U T I N G A N D D E C I S I O N S C I E N C E S Vol. 43 (2018) No. 2 ISSN 0867-6356 DOI: 10.1515/fcds-2018-0006 e-ISSN 2300-3405 Finding the Adequate Location Scenario After the Merger of Fire Brigades Thanks to Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis Methods Mohammad Aldabbas*, Francesca Venteicher*, Lenna Gerber*, Marino Widmer** Abstract. This paper addresses the issue of selecting a suitable location for a fire station in canton of Fribourg, as a result of a fire brigades’ merger, by applying Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods. Solving the problem of determining fire station locations through various methods has been analyzed in-depth by researchers. However, a different approach, based on application of ELECTRE I and ELECTRE II methods is advanced in this paper. The selection of the most suitable fire station site is obtained by applying the designated methods to five distinctive alternatives (called scenarios), taking into consideration the relatively limited information and specifics, and the extensive number of relevant criteria that summed up to sixty-one. Taking the merger of the three local fire departments as an example, the proposed methods for selecting a suitable location for the fire station demonstrate and justify the reason behind this choice. Research shows that the applied methods have been proven to be useful and powerful tools that exhibited acceptable levels of consistency when selecting the best project. The main finding is that one scenario in particular proved to be preferred over the others and most suitable in determining the fire station location.

  • UNESCO World Heritage Properties in Switzerland February 2021
    UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland February 2021 www.whes.ch Welcome Dear journalists, Thank you for taking an interest in Switzerland’s World Heritage proper- ties. Indeed, these natural and cultural assets have plenty to offer: en- chanting cityscapes, unique landscapes, historic legacies and hidden treasures. Much of this heritage was left to us by our ancestors, but nature has also played its part in making the World Heritage properties an endless source of amazement. There are three natural and nine cultur- al assets in total – and as unique as each site is, they all have one thing in common: the universal value that we share with the global community. “World Heritage Experience Switzerland” (WHES) is the umbrella organisation for the tourist network of UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland. We see ourselves as a driving force for a more profound and responsible form of tourism based on respect and appreciation. In this respect we aim to create added value: for visitors in the form of sustainable experiences and for the World Heritage properties in terms of their preservation and appreciation by future generations. The enclosed documentation will offer you the broadest possible insight into the diversity and unique- ness of UNESCO World Heritage. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us at any time. Best regards Kaspar Schürch Managing Director WHES [email protected] Tel. +41 (0)31 544 31 17 More information: www.whes.ch Page 2 Table of contents World Heritage in Switzerland 4 Overview

  • Medienmitteilung
    Liestal, 14. September 2018 Medienmitteilung Wichtiger Erfolg für das Agglomerationsprogramm Basel. Der Vollanschluss Aesch wird zur höchsten Priorität. Die Agglomeration Basel erringt im Wettbewerb um Bundesmittel einen wichtigen Erfolg. Für die 3. Generation erhält das Agglomerationsprogramm Basel gemäss Bundesratsbeschluss insgesamt CHF 110 Mio. für Verkehrsprojekte. Der Vollanschluss Aesch an der A18 ist neu ein A-Projekt und wird durch den Bund zu 40% mitfinanziert. Ende Dezember 2016 hat die Agglomeration Basel das 3. Programm beim Bund eingereicht. Nach Abschluss der technischen Prüfung im Sommer 2017 gab der Bund im Januar 2018 den Botschaftsentwurf in die Vernehmlassung. Darin waren zentrale Anliegen der trinationalen Agglomeration Basel allerdings nicht berücksichtigt. Die trinationale Trägerschaft hat daraufhin gemeinsam zum Botschaftsentwurf Stellung bezogen, dem Bund wichtige Informationen und Anregungen übergeben und mit Nachdruck Verbesserungen gefordert. Der Bundesrat hat nun in der am 14. September 2018 zu Händen des Parlaments verabschiedeten Botschaft über die Verpflichtungskredite ab 2019 für die Beiträge an Massnahmen im Rahmen des Programms Agglomerationsverkehr zentrale Forderungen der Trägerschaft des Agglomerationsprogramms Basel berücksichtigt. Der Beschluss des Eidgenössischen Parlaments wird im 2. Quartal 2019 erwartet. Dank dem trinational abgestimmten Engagement wurde das Strassenprojekt «Vollanschluss Aesch» vom Bundesrat in die höchste Dringlichkeitsstufe (A-Projekt) aufgenommen. Die Baselbieter Regierungsrätin

  • 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.

  • Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).
