“…In the case of planning procedures, a figure, which guarantees and catalyses all the information coming from the various stakeholders, is an obligatory requisite (Albrechts, 2003). The aim of this model is not only to produce territorial data and social knowledge, but also to indirectly build a shared heritage of practices and know-how, thanks to the continuous interaction of participatory processes (Amdam, 2003).…”

This paper focuses on the importance of watercourses, on the presence of historical, naturalistic and environmental factors and on the necessary requirements to be strongly considered in planning tools that involve spatial development processes. The theoretical approach to this topic is then experimented on the case of the Tiber River in a particularly critical area of its course, which falls within the province of Rome. In order to overcome the complex difficulties that the river encounters along its path, the creation of a River Contract is conceived, as an innovative tool for the development of the river territory as a public space. The main issue of this article is to expose a methodology developed for the definition of landscape quality aims: it is mainly aimed at strengthening the idea that the River Contract could be an implementation stage of the Landscape Plan. The River Contract can play an important role in development strategies in Inner Areas and at the same time be an effective tool for recovering identity values. Effort was concentrated on the production of a territorial survey matrix that could be exploited by Local Authorities with the spirit of including the needs of the inhabitants.

“…The southernmost municipality, Evje og Hornnes, has become a commuting area for the costal regional centre (as well as a regional centre for the inner rural areas), whereas the northernmost municipality, Bykle, is developing a growing tourist industry, resulting in economic development and even a growing population. The two municipalities in the centre of the valley region, Valle and Bygland, however, are losing inhabitants and still struggling to define their identities, which is an important goal from a rural development perspective (Amdam, 2003(Amdam, , 2006. Official recognition of this situation is reflected in the municipal focus on development, innovation and increasing the population (Bygland kommune, 2006(Bygland kommune, , 2007Valle kommune, 2002), as well as in the regional council objectives (Setesdal, 2007).…”

Municipalities as Governance Network Actors in Rural Communities

The concept of rural network governance can include different practices, and it is important to gain insight into governance role formation processes. The ability of rural municipalities to effectively perform their role as governance network actors is significantly influenced by municipal organization and norms. Small differences can have big consequences and lead municipalities into different types of governance network roles. This is important to consider in situations where rural communities are facing imbalances and the municipalities increasingly are expected to engage in new roles and take more responsibility for local development. Effective strategies for using local network structures can help rural communities achieve sustainable development. We develop four different governance network models and discuss how the municipal authorities and citizen groups in two rural communities in Setesdal, Norway, perceive the current governance role of the municipality as well as their views on how this role ideally should be performed. We conclude that explanations for the different strategies relate mainly to norms and processes that are endogenous to the communities, which may indicate that rural municipalities have a great deal of autonomy in deciding how to use local network resources.

“…A key barrier in the inter-local cooperation, for example, is lock-in (decision-making) at local level, the fear of losing competences, power and limitations of self-governing (Weichhart 2006). Further hindrances are the high degree of competition between the different communities and regions, especially in relation to public funding and new businesses investments (Amdam 2001;Hagspiel 2001). Additionally, often there is no clear definition of how to share responsibility between the Evolving inter-regional co-operation in flood risk management: distances and types of… 843 different actors and stakeholders as well as unequalasymmetric power sharing (Hagspiel 2001).…”

Evolving inter-regional co-operation in flood risk management: distances and types of partnership approaches in Austria

Flood risk management and policy in Europe are changing, so the role of local and catchment-wide flood risk management plans is now key contemporary issues in flood policy. A new policy agenda is to enhance inter-local solutions instead of local flood alleviation schemes. This paper analyses the new role of those local authorities and stakeholders in flood risk management as well as how the nature of the partnerships is established and operated, focusing especially on the main barriers and challenges. This paper examines catchment-based flood risk management in Austria. Catchment-based flood risk management was analysed in three different Austrian regions (Aist in Upper Austria, Triesting-Tal in Lower Austria and Ill-Walgau in Vorarlberg). The current functions of a partnership approach in flood risk prevention lie within the selection of sites for conservation of regionally important retention areas, harmonising spatial planning instruments and awareness-raising for protective measures on an inter-local level. The empirical results are currently characterised by a lack of sufficient co-operation between the members as well as with the regional authorities. The three case studies show different backgrounds and developments. The results show that the inter-local co-operation process is in no cases fully achieved. Some of the case studies show a higher integration in one field than others.
