Steirisches Steirisches VulkanlandVulkanland
region covers an area of 1.100km² in the south-east of Austria population: about 96.000 inhabitantseconomically weak rurally orientated region lowland area with lovely and calm hillsseveral mineral springs are a result of the former volcanic activitysteep remnants of volcanoes are the sites of medieval castlesmild climate south of the Alps is a good precondition for wine, agriculture, forestry and tourismenterprises in industry, trade and tourism are small-sizedunemployment is low; average income is the lowest of Styria
Status Quo Ante – 1998Status Quo Ante – 1998• Depressed atmosphere• Poor image• No future vision• Resignation• Not much cooperation• Poor economic prospects• Low level of belief in the region

The downside / business – before 2003
• Continued trend of businesses closing in the villages; loss of businesses = loss of income, employment, services and training positions (-130 jobs/year)
• Drain of purchasing power from rural areas was getting faster (-250 jobs per 1% loss; we still have 30% = 10.200 jobs)
• Service companies work mainly for customers outside the region, if the regional economy is not improved, these companies will follow their customers (-3.500 jobs)
• The service sector has high growth rates - consultants come from outside - if well-qualified young people move away, this chance will have been wasted (+520 jobs)
Downside / Agriculture - before 2003
• Continued closing of full-time farms (-130 farms / year = -220 jobs)
• Pressure on agriculture & forestry due to climate change• Harvest failures had risen over the previous 3 years;
approx. 1.000 farms in danger (-1.700 jobs)• Falling prices for unprocessed agricultural products
(Milk, Cattle, Fruit, ..)• Pressure on communities grows• Constant depopulation of the villages, loss of people to
the cities

Driving Force for ChangeDriving Force for ChangeA way must be found to develop the region based on the talents
of the people, the natural resources and the economic
potentials of the region.
Three development concepts1. power driven: money, political power & know-
how/consultant (you give me money, and I will act/vote – transactional)
2. identity & talents: values, staying power & know-how/staff (theses are our values/visions, you can be part of a great process/a big picture – transformative)
3. slow change: honorary work, skills & time (these are our goals, if you have time or money left, you should act – natural dynamic)
Development concepts1. power driven – transactional: economic networks,
city regions, technology cluster, flagships, ..
2. identity & talents – transformative: regional (rural) development, open source enterprises, building public consciousness, ..
3. slow change – natural dynamic: NGOs, ecological or cultural projects/heritage, non-profit associations, ..
4
What is authentic development?1. development by orientation from outside: e.g.,
creative industries & nanotechnology are a global trend. Thus our region will focus on these issues(we want to become, what the other want us to be).
2. development by identity: search for authentic talents & resources that form our identity. Develop the specific regional character first, afterwards others will be attracted by our outstanding profile (we want to develop ourselves, according to our inner, authenticcommitment; we are looking for markets that benefit from our identity & talents).
(1) Vulkanland thesis• Character & identity are the only starting points for
long term economic development. It is about to develop a USP in the global economy.
• The human identity strongly depends on landscape and living space.
• To work on regional economic development, means to work (at least) 5 years on building consciousness first.
• Worn out, old or dusty identities cannot be reanimated by regional development.
(2) Vulkanland thesis • The economical growth rates in rural areas with a well
designed regional development process will be higher than those in big cities.
• Money and funding is not enough for long term development & motivation. Power driven, transactional development is a strategy for industrial economy, whereas transformative development by identity is the strategy of the knowledge society.
• Beyond sound strategies for economy, regions need “sense-tanks” for steering by visions. Valuable & strong visions lead to long term, motivated and human development.

Budgets – money is not a problemThe budget for the regions exists in Styria in many categories. It’s not the total amount, it’s a question of the right investment decisions.

Increase in value policy:
“Share value” of the region is a function of• living culture (lebenswerte und gesunde
Region)• regional business (gute
Regionalwirtschaft)• development options (Möglichkeiten in der
Zukunft)
Principle: “increase in value” is basis for 1. capacity to act (of private and business)2. willingness to take action (positive mood and
strong vision)3. disposition to innovate (longing for competence,
personal transformation)4. readiness to invest (guaranteed future, know-how,
capitals)5. strong regional economy
= a ten years process

„investment support/projects“
Enter the 4th or 3rd floor?
Building on existing valueStyria is a wealthy area with expensive infrastructure. What we do with that defines its value. Regional development secures the “share value” of Styia. Figure: value levels in Vulkanland.

CONCLUSIO
Die Inwertsetzung findet immer seine Resonanz im
Außen.„Charakterstärke bauen statt prostituieren“ Gradual loss of purchasing power over more than 40
years, region is supplied 78% from outside (& therefore controlled from outside). Can we regain economic stability by building the regional market?

What, if someone says that
• you can forget EXPORT, but concentrate on regional ecomomy & regional supply
Regional development in community context:
Only business pays!• Business is the fulcrum of all demographic movements.• Business lives on investments in future prospects. • After the start-up financing over the first 5 years, the
economic campaign refinances itself (from the view of communities).

Conference of lay peopleThe work in the region ha changed a lot in recent years in the Vulkanland:
The Vulkanland is no longer a project, it is reality, and for most people a positive one. Business start-ups and jobs in the region are the result.
The effects of everyday decisions on the region must be explained better (Effects of consumer choices, personal involvement, personal activities to support the community…)
State of the Region
1. The new identity of the region has turned out to be the most valuable aspect and will be the biggest factor in the long-term development.
2. The Vulkanland is now a region of quality of life, a “motivating and inspiring” region; a region of cooperation. Young people have been given prospects to keep them in the communities, as the carriers of the future.
3. Three core competences of the country have been defined: craft trades, food and authentic tourism.
4. The Vulkanland became a new identity, the strengthening of self-confidence and the emotional attachment are visible in all levels of society. The symbol for this is the brand.
EvKOEvKOMain Products of the Regional Development1. From the border region without prospects to the innovative
Steirisches Vulkanland = an event of historic proportions2. Strengthening of identity - and self-awareness lead to
formation of a region from 4 districts3. The brand Steirisches Vulkanland becomes a symbol and
anchor for people and products.4. An autonomous culture of work, living, and business and
three fields of business competence, with innovation budgets for communities, were created.
5. Future with youth and education in Steirisches Vulkanland

• The support of everyone is most important at the BEGINNING.
• Activation is done together.• If you don’t get over the hill because of too
little money or hard work, you can forget about trying again.
Start the ball rolling!

What, if someone says that
• industry is out and regional owned SME are in? Do not support global player!
Starting point:Rural economic development needs new methods and concepts. The new businesspeople and business ideas keep it simple. Average size of the businesses is 5 people.Innovation happens as an integral part of the business practice. People have endurance, have hardly any venture capital but support from their families.

In the high price segment,identity and lifestyle are at the
centre of consumer choice:A region without identity
will be trapped in low prices.
• Quality and gourmet campaign in the restaurant sector (eat&art, furnishing, ..)
• Volcanism & geomancy as underpinning themes• Identity, regional character and authenticity as
cornerstones of development of the range of products & services on offer, and spa tourism
• Culinary trails with theme gastronomy, health-related offers and “transparent” manufacturing
• Pushing theme events in the 4 seasons• Improvement of farm landscape festivals
Region of Vitality
In 10 years ..the Vulkanland will be known for ...
• The (geomantic, geological) traces of the volcanos• Autonomous lifestyle and the associated lifestyle
tourism• Authentic and hospitable people• An idyllic landscape• Living folk culture and regional festivals• Edible landscape• Peace and quiet for “recharging your batteries”
What, if someone says that
• you should cancel tourism branding and concentrate on leisure and holidays for inhabitants
