We need data…

Objective data to ensure that our information is regionally comparable and to be able to confer it with the subjective data. The objective data are periodically adjustable because they are derived from the decennial censuses as well as from other official data sources.

Subjective data to discover the cultural differences and varying perceptions of the stakeholders in the alpine communities. The subjective data are derived from surveys sent to leaders of the municipalities.
