Between Longing and Flight – Migratory processes in mountain areas, particularly in the European Alps: Context of contributions to this issue and outlook
Mountain areas, including the alpine region, have always seen a great deal of migration movements. Current migratory processes, however, are related to urban population's new lifestyles and housing needs, to the construction of second homes and to international tourism. They present new challenges to many alpine regions. On 20 November 2009 the Swiss Interacademic Commission for Alpine Studies (ICAS) invited experts to discuss issues of Migration…
Research on Alpine Landscape Development: From Research to Policy
Swiss National Research Programs (NRPs) are usually geared to addressing issues of major societal concern. In so doing these programs produce different kinds of knowledge: analytical knowledge necessary for revealing the driving forces, conflicting interests and institutional settings that govern the processes under scrutiny; target knowledge oriented towards revealing the directions in which the processes should be guided; and action knowledge t…
The Swiss National Research Programme “Landscapes and habitats of the Alpine Arc”
The aim of the Swiss National Research Programmes is to carry out scientific research to identify, analyse and “find solutions” to problems that are perceived by the scientific and political communities as a national challenge. This article, which deals with landscape resources in the Swiss Alpine arc, shows the stages and measures taken in managing such programmes. The article focuses on the objectives and questions underlying the research, the …

Urban Strategies and Regional Development in the Alps
Nearly two-thirds of the population in the European Alps (which totals 14.2 million) lives in towns or periurban municipalities. We state that strong towns in the Alps are necessary to prevent outmigration. But these towns must be internally integrated with their hinterlands and externally integrated in supraregional networks to maintain the quality of life and contribute to regional economic growth.This appears to be possible despite the differe…
Rapport de session. La Convention alpine, entre législation internationale et mise en œuvre fédéraliste: Obstacles et perspectives
Depuis la signature de la Convention-cadre par huit Etats membres et par l'UE en 1992, la mise en œuvre de la Convention alpine est lente et laborieuse. Ces difficultés sont imputables principalement à trois causes : premièrement, la Convention alpine n'a pas pu se libérer des stigmates laissés par une première approche visant uniquement à la protection des Alpes. Deuxièmement, le traité est devenu si complexe et en partie si inconsistant qu'il e…

Why It Is not Easy to Change Mobility Behaviour in Winter Sports Traffic / Modifier les comportements de déplacements pour l'accès aux stations de ski: Un défi de taille
ve present study on mobility behaviour in winter sports is based on the premise that strategies to modify behaviour entail particularly high conversion costs in this segment of the transport market. Indeed both theoretical reflection and empirical research show that transport as a whole is an area of human behaviour in which adaptation costs are particularly high. In such a context, efforts to promote environmentally friendly behaviour are inevit…
Towns in the Alps: Urbanization Processes, Economic Structure, and Demarcation of European Functional Urban Areas (Efuas) in the Alps
The European Alps are among the world's most densely populated mountain regions. To date, towns have played a subordinate role within this area. Due to the marginal position of Alpine towns within national urban systems, they do not constitute an interrelated urban system, and no primary center exists. The current degree of urbanization cannot be measured by adding up the population of the towns in the Alps. Instead, it is necessary to demarcate …
The Vulnerability of the Snow Industry in the Swiss Alps
The future of Swiss alpine winter tourism must be reassessed in view of global climate change in order to determine possible strategies for overall development of mountain regions. At present, 85% of all Swiss ski areas still have sufficient snow cover. A 300-m rise of the snow line, however, would reduce this to about 63%. As a consequence, skiers will expect more artificial snow, go on winter holidays less often, and concentrate on ski areas at…
Beeinflussbarkeit des mobilitätsverhalten beim wintersport
The present study on mobility behaviour in winter sports is based on the premise that this segment of the transport market is distinguished by particularly high costs for influencing or changing behaviour. Indeed both theoretical and empirical research show transport as a whole to be one area of human behaviour in which costs are particularly high. In such a context efforts to promote more environment‐friendly behaviour are inevitably limited by …

The Concept of Stability and Instability of Mountain Ecosystems Derived from the Swiss MAB-6 Studies of the Aletsch Area
Research undertaken in one of the four Unesco/MAB-6 test areas in the Swiss Alps provides data for discussion of the concept of stability and instability of mountain ecosystems which are subject to development, mostly in the form of tourism. A dynamic approach has been chosen to ascertain those factors and their controlling mechanisms which are able to slow down, or even prevent, the self-propagating extension of tourism. It is shown that a new d…
