englischHow is involuntary job loss perceived, managed and experienced differently in remote rural communities? The aim of this research project is to analyse the resources and strategies used by the individuals and society in remote rural areas to cope with the closure of their largest and only industrial employer. It addresses the impact of job loss and work-based insecurities, the vulnerability and resilience experienced by those affected by the closure, and rising social inequalities after processes of deindustrialisation and individualisation with a specific regional focus on South Tyrol in an empirical case study.

This study’s aim is to contribute to the empirical status as well as to theoretical explanations of the current process of change in selected geographical areas, such as the remote Passeier Valley.

Four individual coping mechanisms are evaluated on the micro level, and the research project also reveals the implications for the municipal and regional development strategies that are being employed to (re)construct social reality in remote rural areas.
