Being embedded in the framework of local culture means that
• a sense of affiliation is established which leads to reciprocal trust and reliability
• shared orientations and conventions facilitate cooperation
• individual decisions on economically or politically relevant alternatives are generally taken in a collectively accepted framework

• Ensemble of artefacts, common practices, attitudes, symbols, use of language and meanings;
• expresses and reproduces shared expectations, norms and conventions; • locally defined and collectively accepted.
