Bemerkungen (1) Diese Raumgliederungen werden in Zukunft nicht mehr angepasst und ab 2017 nicht mehr publiziert. (2) Diese Raumgliederungen werden derzeit revidiert; die ersetzenden neuen Raumgliederungen werden voraussichtlich 2017 publiziert. • Typology(3) Die Notwendigkeit of und die Priorität municipalties einer Revision dieser Raumgliederungen ist in Überprüfung. In jedem (LAU-2) Fall werden die Gemeindestände bis 01.01.2019 and nachgeführt. small regions Remarques (1) Ces niveaux géographiques ne seront plus adaptés dans le futur et plus publiés à partir de 2017. (2) Ces niveaux géographiques sont en cours de révision; les nouveaux niveaux géographiques qui les remplaceront seront vraisemblablement publiés en 2017. (3) La nécessité et la priorité d'une révision de ces niveaux géographiques est en examen. Dans tous les cas, le suivi des mutations de communes sera assuré jusqu'à l'état au 1.1.2019.

Characteristics of current Swiss LMA

• introduced 1982, last update by 2000 census

• 16 spatial units (population from 168’000 to 1.85 Mio)

• crossing the administrative boundaries of cantons (NUTS-3)

• functional region, center-periphery approach Centers of considerable size/importance defined, then delimitation of catchment areas (commuter flows & accessebility & other criteria)

• building blocks: 106 small functional areas MS-Regions

Current use of Swiss LMA

• some cantons do and say its important for them, many cantons don’t use at all

• at federal level some use (State secretary for economics & research institutions)

• overall other (administrative) levels much more used for regional statistics and analysis: problem of communication?

Project ReRaum (2015 – 2019)

• revision of all analytical spatial levels in the FSO

• objective: in 2019 spatial levels are updated, meeting the needs of clients/stakeholders and reflecting the actual spatial structure of the country

• LMAs are not ranked as first priority (for examply typology of municipalities more important

• limited ressources

Potential advantages / interest in LMAs • considerable (theoretical?) interest in functional areas to overcome limitations of adminitstrative units (in statistics and action plans – e.g. official federal «Spatial Strategy for Switzerland»

• international comparability is ranked important especially in border regions (Geneva, Bale, Tessin, Rhine-Valley))

• interesting intermediate size for sample surveys

• dealing with labour market and unemployment issues

• transport planning issues in interest

Commuter matrix (4) - quality

• cross-checked with direct surveyed sample surveys -> matches quite satisfying in most regions, some corrections made (inplausible data removed/replaced)

• data was used for agglomeration definition

Building blocks of LMAs

• to be discussed

• Cantons in Switzerland very heterogenous and to coarse → LAU-2 ?

• LAU-2s in Switzerland quite dynamic, lots of mergers; challenge of heterogenity in that level in Switzerland

• To consider: action plans, implementations
