LIVE WHEREVER YOU WANT AND WORK WHERE YOU'RE LIVING AlpSatellites Remote work in the Alps: Readiness, opportunities and barriers

Abstract

The activity A.1.2 was a study of the target territories’ of AlpSatellites. Aosta Valley University led this activity. In each country (Italy, France and Austria) a study was carried out to map the level of readiness for remote working of the three target mountain areas (Unité des Communes Valdôtaines Evançon [Aosta Valley Region, Italy], Pays du Grand Briançonnais, des Ecrins and du Guillestrois/Queyras [France] and the Municipality of Gemeinde Doren [Austria]). The specific objectives of activity 1.2 were: 1. to construct a theoretical framework to inform the development of the AlpSatellites project; 2. to map the specific characteristics of the three target areas (collecting data such us: demography dynamics, main economic indicators, labor market dynamics, technological infrastructures, geographical features, including climate information, the potential space for coworking, services, housing market dynamics, public laws and HR policies, demand & supply, job profiles and digitization, workers’ digital skills; attractiveness for tourists) which helps to identify the enabling conditions for remote working and for coworking spaces (the characteristics of each target area will be included in Deliverable 1.4.2); 3. to analyze the needs for remote working and coworking spaces (competences and digitalization of work) in the local community, the companies (employers), the workers (employees) and the required characteristics of Alp- Satellites, as potential spaces for remote workers; 4. to identify the barriers and opportunities related to remote work and to the use of coworking spaces (AlpSatellites). The research methodology was co-designed by the University of Aosta Valley together with Fachhochschule Vorarlberg (FHV) and Aix-Marseille University and then shared and discussed with all the partners involved in AlpSatellites at the first Transnational Partners’ Meeting (TPM) in November 7-9 in Italy and during several on-line meetings. The study was a collaborative project; however, each university developed it with slight variations tailored to the specific needs of their respective territories. In the following pages we will present: 1. an interdisciplinary literature review on remote work and coworking spaces. Understanding the very complex subjects of readiness of target areas for remote working and the AlpSatellites project (potentially attractive places for people and businesses) required cooperation between disciplines (such as work and organizational and social psychology, sociology, anthropology, geography, economics and science and technology studies); 2. the comparative quantitative research carried out in France, Italy and Austria; 3. the results of the qualitative study carried out in Italy. 4. the results of the quantitative and qualitative research carried out in France; 5. the results of the quantitative study carried out in Austria. The A.1.2 activity was divided into four stages: 1. preparing the field and the research devices; 2. data gathering; 3. data analysis; 4. writing up the research results. These stages were conducted between September 2022 and October 2023. An International Scientific Committee was involved in the different stages.
