  1. GenderAlp! Spatial Development for Women and Men Contributions of public authorites to a more balanced development and a better quality of life in Alpine Space Mag.a Heidrun Wankiewicz

  2. A heterogenous space

  3. A heterogenous space

  4. Common trends and framework Some „hard facts“ smallscale landscape and settlement structures low density of population in general (outside of the centers) accessibiliy between the regions and from villages to centers not easy partly high dependency on touristic economy low offer of working places in higher qualified (=academic) branches raising level of education for both sexes relatively low but strongly growing female activity rates

  5. Common trends and framework • Some „soft facts“ • traditional role models between sexes partly very strong • division of labour between sexes is very „classical“ • very low participation of women in regional / local decision making proces. • Loss of public and private services and concentration in cities • Urbanisation and migration of good educated women into cities • lots of experiences in gender mainstreaming in labour market, but none in technical fields (housing, spatial planning, public budgeting, regional development, public subsidies)

  6. GenderAlp! key questions Which usefull instruments for spatial development integrating the different needs of women and men are experienced in regions and communities of the Alpine Space Countries? What could be the contribution of public authorities at local, regional, national and transnational (EU-) level in the field of legislation, day to day administration as well as in distibuting public subsidies (€)? How the practical implementation of the Gender Mainstreaming Strategy in day to day administration can improve the economic development as well as the regional (spatial-) development in terms of a quality managment?

  7. Gender Mainstreaming… GENDER – social role which is attributing to girls or boys, to widows or to widows or to widowers, to women and men …is a strategy to…. • …realize existing inequalities • …prevent the raise of future disatvantages or discrimination between sexes • …consider needs of men AND women equally • GM strategy has equality for women and men in professional life, family life and in political life / participation as ist goal Obligatory since 1999/2000 for all EU-members and projects
