With this project ASSB wanted to improve its report on the annual activities primarily adressed to the municipality of Bolzano (the local government owner of the ASSB)and turn it into a social account that should be able to represent: - an instrument to measure through indicators, either qualitative or quantitative, the performances and their impact on the society; - a tool of communication with the citizenry and the stakeholders about social services; - a useful tool of planning of the local social policy.
