  1. ESPON project 1.2.3Identification of Spatially Relevant Aspectsof the Information Society TPG

  2. Spatial and analytical steps of proposed methodology

  3. Research hypotheses • Though the IS can be characterised through a number of features, they will vary between different types of regions. • Even within one type of region, the features can at least partly vary due to different niches of specialisation. • The development of an IS depends to a great extent on the role of the state, and on its tendency to supports the creation of adequate prerequisites for the IS. • The role of human capital and adequate and flexible education systems becomes increasingly important in IS development. • Backward, peripheral and other disadvantaged regions have lesser chances to catch up and accelerate growth because important prerequisites like e.g. ICT networks are lacking there. • Depending on the level of economic development, regions in different geographical parts of Europe are not equally affected by the spatial impacts of the IS. Centralisation-decentralisation tendencies vary. • While metropolitan regions basically are the best prepared for the restructuring towards a KBE and IS, their success varies in dependence of the persistence of structures created in the industrial society and the ability for stimulating the restructuring processes.

  4. Key findings - The composite IS index IS in Europe basedon e-Europe (2004) and NRI (2005) A comparison of e-Europe and NRI indices in ESPON countries

  5. Level of IS activity Time Key findings – The stages of IS development in Europe Life-cycle of the IS

  6. Key findings – towards typologies on the IS

  7. Key findings – national case studies results • 6 countries delivered their country studies before SIR, • Limited to descriptive part in SIR, • Indicators used on regional level + main findings • Appendixes Case studies template • Description of IS state and trends within a given country based on the set of common indicators within three categories: 1) Technological dimension 2) Economical dimension 3) Social dimension b. Analysis of policy documents related to IS development: • ICT related • R&D related • other relevant

  8. Pirkanmaa (NUTS 2&3 region) Rural Tuttlingen / Sigmaringen (NUTS 3 region) Rural (not FUA) Podlaskie Voivodship (NUTS 2&3 region) Rural Budapest (NUTS 2&3 region) MEGA South Moravia (NUTS 3 region) FUA Western Macedonia (NUTS 2 region) Geographically handicapped Rome (NUTS 3 region) MEGA Regional case studies selection

  9. Next working steps – towards FR (31th May 2006) TPG meeting – 3rd-4th March - Budapest • Indicators and regionalised data • updating table of data availability for whole ESPON space (29 countries) • Qualitative analysis • development of ESPON 1.2.3 IS index (lifecycle framework-measure different stages of IS: readiness, growth, impact; NUTS2); • Case studies • national case studies improvements • preparation of three questionnaires for different groups of respondents (public administration on regional level, school administration on regional level and schools, business organizations) + e-mail questionnaire (enterprises) • conducting research and developing regional case studies • Policy recommendations • development of policy recommendations
