Pilot Actions<br />

Title: Market and needs<br />

analysis, housing services in<br />

Seetal.<br />

Objective: Obtain knowledge<br />

regarding potential demand for<br />

“housing with services” in the<br />

model region.<br />

Description: A written survey<br />

was administered <strong>to</strong> the<br />

inhabitants of five communities<br />

in the model region. The<br />

survey showed that there will<br />

be an increase in the search<br />

for new housing opportunities<br />

in the region for people aged<br />

65 and over. A moderate<br />

demand for “housing with<br />

services” can be expected<br />

in the future. Furthermore, in<br />

one community willingness<br />

of volunteers <strong>to</strong> participate in<br />

the provision of services for<br />

elderly people could be noted<br />

and steps <strong>to</strong> actively engage<br />

them in the <strong>planning</strong> and<br />

implementation of the services<br />

were taken.<br />

Transferability: Can be<br />

implemented in other Alpine<br />

regions.<br />

Title: Workshop: Regional<br />

Cooperation.<br />

Objective: Encourage<br />

cooperation in the field of<br />

«housing with services» and<br />

create synergies and ensure<br />

the efficient use of resources.<br />

Description: A workshop<br />

was organized <strong>to</strong> discuss<br />

possible areas of cooperation<br />

and coordination among the<br />

communities. The <strong>regional</strong><br />

<strong>planning</strong> authority, as well as<br />

representatives from all five<br />

communities involved in the<br />

market and needs analysis,<br />

participated at the event. The<br />

discussions showed that while<br />

certain aspects will have <strong>to</strong> be<br />

handled locally (e.g. volunteer<br />

engagement; <strong>planning</strong> housing<br />

for elderly), cooperation could<br />

be beneficial in other areas<br />

(e.g. exchanging knowledge<br />

and experiences; <strong>regional</strong><br />

<strong>spatial</strong> <strong>planning</strong>; development<br />

of services and infrastructures<br />

in the region).<br />

Transferability: Can be<br />

implemented in other Alpine<br />

regions.<br />
