Die gemeinschaftliche Nutzung von Ressourcen hat im Alpenraum eine lange Geschichte und grosse Aktualität. Die Beiträge in diesem Band diskutieren die Transformationsprozesse, welche die Kollektivkörperschaften durchlaufen haben, anhand diverser Fallbeispiele und unterschiedlicher...

Les territoires de montagne, envisagés dans cet ouvrage comme autant de laboratoires à ciel ouvert, ont permis une approche originale étudiée sur le temps long (XVIe-XXIe siècles). Le val de Suse, que l'on peut suivre au fil des siècles, des barricades de 1629 à la lutte anti-TGV, occupe...

In the last two decades, socio-economic changes in Europe have had a significant effect on land cover changes, but it is unclear how this has affected mountain areas. We focus on two mountain areas: the eastern Italian Alps and the Romanian Curvature Carpathians. We classified land cover from...

DER ALPENTOURISMUS IM WANDEL: EIN BLICK IN VERGANGENHEIT UND ZUKUNFT Wer morgen zu den Gewinnern im Tourismus zählen möchte, muss heute dafür die Weichen stellen. Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die touristische Entwicklung im Alpenraum und liefert auf Basis einer Studie des...

Projects of the two new railway transalpine tunnel of Frejus and Gothard have similar technical characteristics: an identical length (57 km), a similar cost (10 billion Euros) and the existence of a highway along the same Alpine corridor. But, whilst the new Gothard is now under construction and...

The air temperature in the Alps has increased at a rate more than twice the global average in the last century, and a significant increase in the number of slope failures has also been documented, in particular in glacial and periglacial areas. Thus, the relationship between climatological...

The agro-structural change in the Alps has been gaining intensity steadily since 1980. Farms continuously feel the pressure to adapt to changed economic, political, and social conditions. Those diverge significantly between the different alpine countries but also within a country. Based on the...

We analyze the expected effects of building a rail tunnel between Lyon and Turin on i) the market shares of the established and the new suppliers, and ii) consumer surplus. The prospective project consists of a 53km rail tunnel providing freight shippers with a new alpine path. We calibrate an...

We investigate the sensitivity of consumer surplus estimates to parametric assumptions on individual preference heterogeneity in a discrete choice framework. We compare results from a parametric random coefficients logit model and a recently proposed nonparametric sieve estimator. In particular,...

In diesem Beitrag werden Ergebnisse einer Expertenbefragung zur Bewertung des Zustandes und der Entwicklungsperspektiven der Landwirtschaft und der ländlichen Räume in ausgewählten Gemeinden der polnischen Karpaten und der deutschen Alpen vorgestellt. Gegenüber der Landwirtschaft und den...

In recent years crossing the Alps has become a central issue in European transport policy. The increase in global transport flow has contributed to bringing two themes to the centre of attention : making transalpine transportation easier and reducing the negative impact of this on the Alpine...

Debris-flow monitoring in instrumented areas is an invaluable way to gather field data that may improve the understanding of these hazardous phenomena. A new experimental site has been equipped in the Autonomous Province of Bozen-Bolzano (Eastern Alps, Italy) for both monitoring purposes and...

Climate indices facilitate the interpretation of expected climate change impacts for many sectors in society, economy, and ecology. The new localized data set of climatic change signals for temperature and precipitation presented by Zubler et al. (Clim Change, <CitationRef CitationID="CR38">2013</CitationRef>) is applied for an analysis of...</citationref>
