Quality of life improvement by supporting public and private services in the rural areas of the Alps (QUALIMA)
Start date: Mar 31, 2003, End date: Jul 30, 2006 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The progressive social and economic marginality of the mountain areas is matched with the decreasing offer of goods and services available for inhabitants (especially for the weakest categories).This causes a decrease in the quality of life and local identity: many surveys report that the progressive depopulation of mountain areas is due to the desire to look for services at an urban quality levelThis trend causes a progressive decrease of trading activities as well as of offered social services, whereas the rising age of the inhabitants tends to create an increasing demand for social and healthcare services. This trend contrasts the economical sustainability of existing social services and trading activities, at least, the way they are run at the present time. The project proposes to carry out co-ordinated area systems which strengthen the existing structural and infra-structural networks matching them with human resources and territorial potentials. These results will be based on the creation of polyfunctional centers/movable services where activities will be coordinated even through the use of ICT (tele booking, e-commerce, e-government).
