4. Transnationales DEMOCHANGE Partner-Treffen erfolgreich abgeschlossen
Ljubljana, 17./18. März 2011
Alle Projekt-Partner von DEMOCHANGE folgten der Einladung des Instituts für Raumplanung der Republik Slowenien und der Agentur für Regionalentwicklung der Region Upper Gorenjska zum 4. transnationalen DEMOCHANGE Partner-Treffen in Ljubljana.
Die Model-Region Upper Gorenjska
Das Treffen begann mit einer geführten Tour durch die Model-Region Upper Gorenjska, vorbei an Ljubliana, Bohinj und dem See Bled mit Insel. Die Model-Region besteht aus vier Gemeinden (Bohinj, Bled, Kranjska Gora, Gorje) und ist ein Teil der statistisch untersuchten Region Gorenjska. In ihr leben 21.584 Personen, die 11% der Bevölkerung von Gorenjska repräsentieren.
Aus dem demographischen Blickpunkt betrachtet, hat die Region einen intensiven Migrationsprozess in den letzten zehn Jahren erfahren. Zu beachten ist außerdem, dass das Durchschnittsalter der Bevölkerung schneller als in den übrigen Gegenden Sloveniens ansteigt. Frauen im Alter von 15 bis 49 repräsentieren 44% der gesamten weiblichen Bevölkerung in der Region. Die Bewohner leben meist in kleinen Haushalten, so dass der höchste Anteil an Ein-Personen-Haushalten in Kranjska Gora gefunden werden kann.
Erste Ergebnisse und Veröffentlichungen
Das erste Arbeitstreffen fand in Bohinjska Bistrica, dem Zentrum der Gemeinde Bohinj statt. Am ersten Tag wurden generelle Informationen hinsichtlich Ablauf des DEMOCHANGE Projektes und der Organisation der Midterm-Konferenz besprochen. Die Projektpartner des Instituts für Raumplanung stellten die verschiedenen Ergebnisse der bisher von jedem Partner durchgeführten Analyse über demographischen Wandel vor. Alle gesammelten Ergebnisse werden bald in einem "Kleinen regionalen Bericht" veröffentlicht. Zusätzlich dazu gaben die Schweizer Projektpartner einen kurzen Einblick wie das Handbuch "Wie man eine lokale Lenkungsgruppe einrichtet" aussehen wird. Die Schweizer Projektpartner werden die Gast-Partner für den transnationalen Workshop sein, der im Mai 2011 in Luzern stattfinden wird.
Umsetzung der einzelnen Maßnahmen
Am folgenden Tag wurde das Arbeitstreffen fortgeführt. Diejenigen Projekt-Partner, die in die Umsetzung der Pilot-Aktionen eingebunden sind, stellten ihre nächsten Schritte vor und erklärten, wie sie die Maßnahmen vor Ort einführen werden. Außerdem präsentierten sie die Evaluierung der Anpassungsstrategien und die Entwicklung von gemeinsamen Handlungsschritten sowie damit verbundene planerische Pilot-Aktionen. Am Ende wurden die geplanten Aktivitäten, die für die Analyse der Pilot-Maßnahmen beschlossen wurden, vorgestellt. Diese Maßnahmen aus allen Model-Regionen sollen allumfassende Anpassungsstrategien und Handlungsmöglichkeiten für den alpinen Raum aufweisen.

22nd Conference of the European Network for Housing Research (ENHR)
Istanbul - July 2010
DEMOCHANGE was presented and referred to in one of the presentations at the 22nd Conference of the European Network for Housing Research (ENHR) in Istanbul, Turkey 4-7 July, 2010.
This Network is composed of researchers from a variety of social science disciplines dealing with housing and urban issues. In addition to its basic goal of supporting research, the Network also seeks to promote contacts and communications between researchers and practitioners within the housing field. It has more than 1000 individual and nearly 100 institutional members representing every country in Europe. ENHR also provides a framework for twenty working groups. Major international conferences are organised biennial. This years conference in Istanbul was entitled "Urban Dynamics & Housing Change".
Boštjan Kerbler, member of the DEMOCHANGE team (Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia) participated at the conference in the working group "Housing & living conditions of ageing populations". The Working group focused on different generations or age groups i.e. from seniors (e.g. 55+) to the very old (e.g. 95+), all within a large and growing part of ageing populations. The elderly live in different economic situations, with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and have various abilities/disabilities as well as different interests and preferences. They live in different environments with a multitude of lifestyles and gender related conditions. All these diversities which call for different approaches are considered within the research focus of this ENHR Working group.
Boštjan Kerbler presented the situation of elderly people in Slovenia, with a special emphasis on caring for the elderly population in peripheral areas of Slovenia, including the Alpine parts.
