Abstract

The provision of services of general interest (SGI) is governed by authorities at different levels. The changing role of public sector regarding SGI provision during austerity has particularly affected remote mountain and border areas, where economy, population ageing, dispersed settlements, and geomorphology hinder the SGI supply. To counter this, new integrated approaches for SGI provision should be sought. Hereby SGI integration models in 257 spatial planning and sectorial policy documents from five Alpine countries (Italy, Switzerland, Austria, France, and Slovenia) were investigated to discover if and to what extent the integration is considered, and what challenges need addressing. Analysis shows the SGI integration in the Alpine Space is moderate, mostly occurring among health, telecommunication, social care, and basic goods sectors. Adapting the existing spatial planning policies could bridge the identified gaps, as some examined documents (e.g. transport, telecommunication) do not consider the SGI provision in spatial planning context at all.

The SGI definition is adopted by Gløersen et al. (2016), who divided SGI into services of general economic interest (SGEI), non-economic services (NSGI), and social services of general interest (SSGI), according to the nature of their provision. This is determined by who is the provider of the service (public/private/NGOs and social enterprises) and how is the service delivered to the users (are the prices market or state regulated, is the service free or subsidised, etc.).
