Activity 1: Spatial Planning and Spatial Research - Projects

Study on Mountain Areas in Southern Norway (2010)


Client:  Norwegian Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development (Oslo)
Partners:  Spatial Foresight (Heisdorf), Østlandsforskning (ØF)  (Lillehammer)

Norwegian regional policies have traditionally focused on peripheral areas and in particular on the challenges facing the northernmost parts of Finnmark and Troms. The Ministry for Local Government and Regional Development has commissioned a study to enquire whether mountain areas of southern Norway could also be the object of targeted measures. The objective is to check whether specific economic and social development conditions can be identified in this part of the country.
The research consortium led by the Lillehammer-based research organisation Østlands-forskning, with Spatial Foresight and RRG as partners, was selected to carry out this study on the basis of a competitive bidding process.
The first task is to delineate these mountain areas, using criteria such as altitude, slope, ruggedness and possibly vegetation. Their specificities in terms of social and economic performance, access to services and infrastructure endowment will then be considered. Workshops involving stakeholders from the concerned areas will also be organised, in view of better incorporating the governance and future development potentials of mountain areas in the analysis.
RRG participates in data collection, and is responsible for all accessibility analyses.
The final report will be produced during the summer of 2010.
