This project aims to develop a toolkit to assist regions in their territorial monitoring. Global challenges such as globalization, demography, energy, and climate change are considered, and both quantitative and qualitative assessments will be conducted. The interim report will include EU-wide and regional benchmarking reports, a dataset for HyperAtlas, and a prototype of a simple benchmarking tool. The project also explores the use of ESPON HyperAtlas and collaboration with the ESPON Database team.

Territorial Performance Monitoring State and perspectives of the project • ESPON Internal Seminar • 29 and 30 November 2011, Krakow (PL) • Didier Peeters (ULB-IGEAT) • dpeeter1@ulb.ac.be
Territorial Performance Monitoring • A priority 2 project with 5 stakeholders : • Greater Dublin Area • Nordrhein-Westfalen • Vlaams Gewest • Navarra • Cataluña • And 6 scientific teams • Institut für Landes- und Stadtentwicklungsforschung gGmbH • Steunpunt Ruimte & Wonen • Institut d'Estudis Territorials • Observatorio Territorial de Navarra • National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis (NIRSA) • ULB-IGEAT
Starting point • Main objective : • Production of a toolkit designed to help the regions making their territorial monitoring. • Global Challenges : • Globalization • Demography • Energy • Climate change • Priority 2 means : Use of existing data and tools
Global approach • Evaluation of the regional monitoring system and how regions take into account the European perspective in their self-evaluation. • Quantitative measures • Simple benchmarking with or without comparison with the EU (Europe, neighboring regions, national level, same typology regions) • + interpretation, contextualization, ... • Qualitative assessment • Based on expertise, surveys, delphi, focus groups ... • Possibly elaboration of pseudo-quantitative indicators • EU policy objectives don’t mean to have the same targets everywhere
Main results in the interim report • EU-wide quantitative benchmarking • Regional benchmarking reports • Dataset for HyperAtlas • Prototype of simple benchmarking tool • Qualitative assessment (regional reports) • Adaptability of regional (planning) systems • Awareness of challenges • Policy bundles and threats and opportunities related to challenges
Tools • Decision to use ESPON HyperAtlas • Collaboration with ESPON Database team • Very promising tool • Centralized management of tool by ESPON while allowing customized data input • Some limits of HyperAtlas => elaboration of simple spreadsheet-based benchmarking tool • Non-optimized • Proof of concept
Next • Review / Revision of mind map • In regions: • Revision of mind map • Identification of regional competencies and potentials • Centrally • Indicators of spatial impact / pressure • Choice of indicators, meanings, reference values, scale: in regions
Next • Data collection : in regions & centrally • Mapping and quantitative analysis: centrally • Adaptation to/of local systems: in regions
