The participatory process for a regional spatial development concept in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Großes Walsertal

Abstract

Commissioned to work on a regional development concept for the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Großes Walsertal (A), we needed to combine the overall concept for the biosphere reserve with the requirements of the spatial planning for the area. We adopted a participatory process to ensure high acceptance by the population. This article gives an overview of the process to create a regional development concept with plenty of participation.
