  • 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).

  • Das Neue Kurtaxenreglement Kurz Erklärt
    Eine Informationsbroschüre der Gemeinden Bettmeralp, Fiesch, Fieschertal, Lax, Mörel-Filet und Riederalp Das neue Kurtaxenreglement kurz erklärt Ausgabe für die Gemeinde Riederalp Ein Baustein für den Gast von heute und die Destination von morgen Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren Die letzten Jahre haben uns gezeigt, dass wir als Destination unsere Zukunft selbst gestalten können. Das müssen wir, denn unsere Gäste werden zu Recht anspruchsvoller: Sie wollen ein umfangreiches Angebot, das doch einfach ist und vor allem aus einer Hand stammt. Sie wollen zunehmend digitale Angebote, die auf Knopfdruck verfügbar sind. Die Grundlage dafür legt unter anderem das neue Kurtaxen reglement, über das wir demnächst abstimmen. Wir stellen es Ihnen auf den folgenden Seiten vor und erläutern, wie es in unseren Augen die Aletsch Arena fit für die Zukunft macht. Unsere Destination hat bereits Beachtliches vollbracht. Wir haben, gestützt durch die Bevölkerung, drei Bergbahnunternehmen fusioniert und eine neue Destination gegründet. Das ist nicht selbstverständlich, gerade in Jahren, die wirtschaftlich nicht die einfachsten sind. Doch es zeigt, dass wir eine starke Destination sind, und als solche wollen wir uns weiterentwickeln – und eine lebendige Aletsch Arena bleiben. Wir danken für Ihre Unterstützung des neuen Kurtaxenreglements!

  • Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008
    Economic History Working Papers No: 250/2016 Multiple Core Regions: Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008 Christian Stohr London School of Economics Economic History Department, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE, London, UK. T: +44 (0) 20 7955 7084. F: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC HISTORY WORKING PAPERS NO. 250 - SEPTEMBER 2016 Multiple Core Regions: Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008 Christian Stohr London School of Economics Abstract This paper estimates regional GDP for three different geographical levels in Switzerland. My analysis of regional inequality rests on a heuristic model featuring an initial growth impulse in one or several core regions and subsequent diffusion. As a consequence of the existence of multiple core regions Swiss regional inequality has been comparatively low at higher geographical levels. Spatial diffusion of economic growth has occurred across different parts of the country and within different labor market regions at the same time. This resulted in a bell- shape evolution of regional inequality at the micro regional level and convergence at higher geographical levels. In early and in late stages of the development process, productivity differentials were the main drivers of inequality, whereas economic structure was determinant between 1888 and 1941. Keywords: Regional data, inequality, industrial structure, productivity, comparative advantage, switzerland JEL Codes: R10, R11, N93, N94, O14, O18 Acknowledgements: I thank Heiner Ritzmann-Blickensdorfer and Thomas David for sharing their data on value added by industry with me. I’m grateful to Joan Rosés, Max Schulze, and Ulrich Woitekfor several enlightening discussions.

  • Media Trip - Back to Nature
    Media Trip - Back to nature Resorts: Aletsch Arena and Val d’Hérens Dates: Sunday 12th to Thursday 16th August 2018 (5 days, 4 nights) Participants: max 10 journalists Highlights: Hiking to the Great Aletsch Glacier, introduction to yodelling, photographing stars on the Bettmerhorn, Europe’s first hotel built of straw, Green Mobility in the Val d’Hérens, “anakolodge” hamlet of renovated barns, Herens cows, alpine cheese-making, summer fair in Evolène. www.visitvalais.ch VALAIS/WALLIS PROMOTION Aletsch Arena Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch: that’s the title under which the largest glacier in the Alps appears in UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites. Nearby, the villages in the valley and the three car- free resorts up on the alpine pastures radiate a special charm with their traditional houses, typical of Valais, their wooden chalets and atmospheric hotels. The three resorts of Fiescheralp, Bettmeralp and Riederalp bask in the sunshine, midway between the valley and the sky. Six cable cars carry visitors from the Rhône valley up to an altitude of about 2,000 m to access these resorts and the idyllic hiking trails of the Aletsch region. Other chairlifts and cable cars carry guests higher still, to panoramic vantage points such as the Eggishorn (2,927m), which offers one of the finest views of the Aletsch and Fiesch glaciers. www.aletscharena.ch Interview possibilities - Aletsch Arena: - Markus Eichenberger, photographer and expert in time-lapse photographs - Monique Martig, qualified breathing therapist (German- and French-speaking) - Manuela Lehner-Mutter, conductor of the Jodelclub-Riederalp choir - Stefan Eyholzer, manager of Restaurant Bättmer Hitta and owner of Herens cows Val d’Hérens The Val d’Hérens extends from the Rhône Valley near Sion to the foot of a string of snow- capped peaks including the Dent Blanche, Dent d’Hérens, Mont Collon and Mont Blanc de Cheilon.
