Figure 5.
Four maps of Vorarlberg in Austria are labelled Year 2009, Year 2014, Year 2019, and Current status year 2021. Each map displays municipalities shaded by the number of grassroots groups, ranging from 0 to 8 groups. In 2009, grassroots groups appear in a small number of municipalities, mainly along the Rhine Valley near larger towns. In 2014, additional municipalities show grassroots groups, with expansion along the Rhine Valley and into inland areas. In 2019, grassroots groups are present in more municipalities across the region, with higher presence along the Rhine Valley. In 2021, grassroots groups are distributed across many municipalities, with denser concentrations along the Rhine Valley and continued presence in northern and southern areas. Towns are marked by population size, with towns of more than 25,000 inhabitants and towns of more than 10,000 inhabitants indicated. Labelled towns include Bregenz, Hard, Lauterach, Lustenau, Dornbirn, Hohenems, Gotzis, Rankweil, Feldkirch, and Bludenz. The Rhine Valley is outlined, and a scale bar shows distances from 0 to 30 kilometres.Temporal evolution in the spatial distribution of the number of entrepreneurial grassroots groups impacting the local level
