LIVE WHEREVER YOU WANT AND WORK WHERE YOU'RE LIVING AlpSatellites
Résumé
Many remote Alpine regions are experiencing population decline and aging, while the urban-rural divide is widening. The project AlpSatellites aims to manage the transition to hybrid working and satellites offices; to revitalize mountain areas by analyzing the opportunities and challenges of remote working in order to attract and integrate young people, workers and digital nomads to remote areas; to create, eventually, the conditions to create spaces for co-working, called AlpSatellites. These objectives also serve to reduce depopulation by encouraging new and young workers to stay in the Alpine area. Furthermore, the project will help to narrow the divide between rural and mountain areas and urban areas. This is a setting-the-scene project. The partners are researching the co-design and co-creation of coworking spaces with a strong connection with the local communities and stakeholders. Alpsatellites is divided into four activities. During the first activity (A.1.1), the focus was to evaluate the appetite for remote working in remote alpine areas’ appetite for remote working. This stage involved co-designed local development activities in all the three partner countries adopting a bottom-up approach in order to engage local stakeholders to design adapted solutions to attract and integrate remote workers, thanks to digital workplaces and telecommuting. This will create new opportunities for the digital, economic, and social development of local communities by making outlying areas attractive places for both people and businesses. This report describes the activity carried out within D.1.1 of the Alp Satellites project in the three different countries. This first stage of the activity was coordinated by the Italian partner Evançon Mountain Community with the support of the project leader, the University of Valle d’Aosta. Evançon Mountain Community proposed the same methodology as used by the French and Austrian partners in order to align the activities in the three countries. We will focus on the proposed methodology and the workflow of the activities carried out in this first leg of the project in the following chapters. Following a single methodology was necessary due to the marked diversification of the project areas in the three countries involved; despite all three being mountainous areas of the Alps, the project areas in Italy, France and Austria are significantly different in terms of size, population and geographical conformation.
