Chapter 2 introduces the policy context relevant for the analysis of the Swiss AAs. Chapter 3 presents the different supra-regional collaborations taking place on Action Area level, framing them in their territorial context, and proposes an analytical grid to analysing them. Chapter 4 synthetises results obtained from the analysis of the 12 Swiss AAs, classifying them based on their maturity of cooperation and summarises policy options as expressed by field actors. Chapter 5 is set up as an Atlas, offering in-depth presentation of the 12 Swiss AAs. Reference CHILLA, Tobias, et al. & ESPON EGTC.

  • Transalpine Pass Routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the Strategic Use of Topographic Resources
    Preistoria Alpina, 42 (2007): 109-118 ISSN 09-0157 © Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali, Trento 2007 Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources Philippe DELLA CASA Department of Pre-/Protohistory, University of Zurich, Karl-Schmid-Str. ���������������������������4, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY - Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources - Using examples from the San Bernardino and the St. Gotthard passes in the Swiss Central Alps, this paper discusses how the existence of transalpine high altitude pass routes can be inferred, even though there is a lack physical evidence, from specific Bronze and Iron Age settlement patterns in access valleys. Particular attention is given to the effect of topography within the territorial and economic organizational area on transalpine tracks and traffic routes. A set of recurring patterns, such as strategic position, natural and/or artificial protection, presence of “foreign” materials, can help identifying (settlement) sites with particular functions as regards traffic and trade within the systems of territorial organization. Moreover, the paper also addresses socio-dynamic issues of the problem of transalpine pass routes. RIASSUNTO - Passi transalpini nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere e uso strategico di risorse topografiche -Usando esempi dal Passo di San Bernardino e dal Passo del San Gottardo nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere, il presente contributo discute come l’esistenza di vie di transito transalpine d’alta quota possa essere dedotta, anche mancando evidenze fisiche, da specifici modelli insediativi dell’età del Bronzo e del Ferro presenti nelle valli di accesso.

  • Notmassnahmen-Konzept Für Das Rheinwald
    Notmassnahmen-Konzept für das Rheinwald E. Steiner / Dezember 2009 Ausgangslage: Nach mehreren milden und schneearmen Wintern war der der Win- ter 2008/09 ein überdurchschnittlich strenger Winter. Der frühe Wintereinbruch und der hohe Schnee zerrte an den Reserven der wildlebenden Tieren. Durch das geringe Nahrungsangebot gingen viele Hirsche und Rehe ein. Die Situation im Rheinwald war dramatisch, niemand wusste ge- nau welche Massnahmen man durchführen durfte und wer dafür zuständig ist. Unter den Verantwortlichen des Jägervereins Rhein- wald und den einheimischen Jägern herrschte eine grosse Verun- sicherung. Die Konsequenz war, dass viele Jäger etwas machten, zum Teil heimlich und unkoordiniert oft nicht die richtige Mass- nahme am richtigen Ort oder zur falschen Zeit. Damit wir in Zukunft auf eine solche Notsituation besser vorbereitet sind, hat der Vorstand des Jägervereins beschlossen in Zusam- menarbeit mit der Wildhut ein Konzept für solche Extremsituation zu erarbeiten. Zielsetzung: Ein Konzept erarbeiten, welches bei Notsituationen innerhalb nütz- licher Frist umgesetzt werden kann. Zum Wohle der wildlebenden Tiere alle nötigen Ressourcen, Massnahmen und Arbeiten so ko- ordinieren, damit ein befriedigendes Resultat für alle beteiligten er- reicht wird und die Jäger in der Öffentlichkeit wieder als „Heger und Pfleger“ wahrgenommen werden. Dabei müssen die verantwortli- chen Institutionen mit einbezogen werden. Es ist nicht Ziel eine all- gemeine Winterfütterung einzuführen. Bei einer Notfütterung geht es nicht darum, die Kondition und Konstitution der Tiere zu verbes- sern oder die Trophäenqualität zu erhöhen. Es geht einzig darum, mittels Notfütterung und anderen geeigneten Massnahmen das Leid der Wildtiere zu lindern, den Hungertod bei Extrembedingun- gen zu vermindern und das Wild von Siedlungen und viel befahre- nen Strassen fernzuhalten.

    Snow, Hjdmtog) and Forests in IS0i Alpine Areas (Proceedings of the Vienna Symposium, August 1991). IAHS Publ. no. 205,1991. Areal modelling of snow water equivalent based on remote sensing techniques J. MARTINEC Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research CH 7260 Weisfluhjoch/Davos , Switzerland K. SEIDEL, U. BURKART & R. BAUMANN Institute for Communication Technology ETHZ Image Science Division, CH 8092 Zurich, Switzerland ABSTRACT Average water equivalents of the seasonal snow cover are evaluated from periodic snow cover monitoring by remote sensing satellites for 9 regions and 5 elevation zones of the Alpine basin Felsberg (3250 km2, 560-3614 m a.s.l.). Regional trends in snow accumulation are illustrated and the representativeness of point measurements is assessed. The method can also 5e applied to simulate the snow accumulation in ungauged areas and in a future changed climate. INTRODUCTION The snow accumulation in alpine areas depends not only on the elevation above sea level, but also on regional variations. The knowledge of the typical snow distribution is necessary for the evaluation of snow reserves and for the assessment of snow loads on structures to be expected with a given probability. The density of snow gauging networks is usually not sufficient for areal evaluations and their representativeness uncertain. A method is presented for complementing snow data by evaluating areal average snow water equivalents from periodical snow cover mapping. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDIED AREA In the catchment area of the upper Rhine at FELSBERG (3250 km2,560-3614 m a.s.l.) the seasonal snow cover was periodically mapped during the snowmelt season from Landsat-MSS, SPOT-XS and NOAA/AVHRR satellite data.

  • Switzerland – a Model for Solving Nationality Conflicts?
    PEACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE FRANKFURT Bruno Schoch Switzerland – A Model for Solving Nationality Conflicts? Translation: Margaret Clarke PRIF-Report No. 54/2000 © Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) Summary Since the disintegration of the socialist camp and the Soviet Union, which triggered a new wave of state reorganization, nationalist mobilization, and minority conflict in Europe, possible alternatives to the homogeneous nation-state have once again become a major focus of attention for politicians and political scientists. Unquestionably, there are other instances of the successful "civilization" of linguistic strife and nationality conflicts; but the Swiss Confederation is rightly seen as an outstanding example of the successful politi- cal integration of differing ethnic affinities. In his oft-quoted address of 1882, "Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?", Ernest Renan had already cited the confederation as political proof that the nationality principle was far from being the quasi-natural primal ground of the modern nation, as a growing number of his contemporaries in Europe were beginning to believe: "Language", said Renan, "is an invitation to union, not a compulsion to it. Switzerland... which came into being by the consent of its different parts, has three or four languages. There is in man something that ranks above language, and that is will." Whether modern Switzerland is described as a multilingual "nation by will" or a multi- cultural polity, the fact is that suggestions about using the Swiss "model" to settle violent nationality-conflicts have been a recurrent phenomenon since 1848 – most recently, for example, in the proposals for bringing peace to Cyprus and Bosnia. However, remedies such as this are flawed by their erroneous belief that the confederate cantons are ethnic entities.
