ARTS – Assessment of Regional and Territorial Sensitivity Bernd Schuh (ÖIR) Gödöllő, Hungary 21 and 22 June 2011
Vulnerability Concept Definitions in ARTS • Potential effects (exposure): Which economic, social, and environmental fields could be affected by EU directives? • (Territorial) sensitivity: Which characteristics make a territory potentially affected in its economic, social, and environmental fields? • Impact: Which are the territorial effects of a certain policy given its potential effects and regional sensitivities? • Adaptive capacity: How weak/strong is the ability of a system to adjust to the potential impact? link to governance aspects

Manual for practitioners Steps to assess the territorial impact of LPD • The conceptual model : How do a directive affect the development of regions? • Have directives different logical chains in different types of regions ? (Regional Exposure Matrix) • What is the intensity of exposure deriving from an Directive? (Directive Exposure Matrix) • How is the territorial impact of a Directive in European regions? (Calculating the TIM and plausibility checks) • Which regions will be affected in which fields (Mapping)? • What are the policy implications (discussion)? • Writing the minutes
