DIAMONT Meeting, September 8-9th 2005 in Bozen/Bolzano
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.
