Enhancing Policy Making with Territorial Evidence Towards Economic Growth by Up-TeMo - ESPON Seminar

Strengthen policy-oriented territorial analysis by engaging policymakers, stakeholders, and practitioners in defining, developing, and validating indicators. The seminar showcases the added value of Territorial Monitoring in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) and operational NUTS 3/LAU2 levels, including parts of Russia and Belarus. It offers insights on territorial cohesion analysis through a comprehensive toolbox of complex indicators, such as Gini Concentration Ratio, Atkinson index, and 80/20 ratio. The monitoring system is tested in real-life situations focusing on cross-cutting issues, thematic areas like migration, specific geographic scopes, and benchmarking against transnational regions. Principal divides in the BSR are highlighted, like socio-economic variation, urban-rural disparities, and the impact of the financial crisis on rural migration. The future direction includes upholding and updating indicators, adding the urban dimension, and aligning with stakeholder needs.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Inspire policy making by territorial evidence ESPON Seminar “Territories Acting for Economic Growth: Using territorial evidence to meet challenges towards 2020” BSR TeMo/Up-TeMo Gunnar Lindberg NORDREGIO

  2. Project Partners Nordregio (Lead Partner) (also in Up-TeMo) University of Gdansk (also in Up-TeMo) Aalto University (also in Up-TeMo) RRG (also in Up-TeMo) Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization Polish Academy of Sciences BGI Consulting Ltd. Geomedia LLC

  3. “Need to strengthen a policy oriented territorial analysis Policymakers, stakeholders and practitioners involvement during analysis definition, development and validation” - Graziella Guaragno, Workshop 1.A (yesterday)

  4. What we have built Stakeholder driven, policy centered, indicator based, and analytically advanced, monitoring of territorial dev. in the BRS region

  5. Added value of TeMo Regional policy context It is operational at NUTS 3/LAU2. Parts of Russia included, and to some extent Belarus We show (one way) to analyse territorial cohesion

  6. Indicators… the “never ending story”

  7. Analytical “toolbox” / Complex indicators (1.) The Gini Concentration Ratio (2.) The Atkinson index (3.) The 80/20 ratio (4.) Sigma-convergence (5.) Beta-convergence (6.) The east/west ratio (7.) The south/north ratio (8.) The urban/rural ratio (9.) The non-border/border ratio (10.) The coast/inland ratio ”Distribution” ”Convergence” ”Targeted/Territorial”

  8. Application of the System Testing of the monitoring system: to establish the functionality of thesystem by pushing its analytical capacity in a selection of “real life situations”. • Investigative areas (topics): • ability to handle cross-cutting issues (territorial cohesion); • functionality within a pronounced thematic focus (migration); • functionality to depict a particular geographic scope(border regions); • overall benchmarking ability (BSR benchmarked against the Alpine Space and the North Sea transnational regions).

  9. The Principal Divides (1): East-West Betweenmore and less affluent countries. The sharpest divide today can be found within the socio-economic spheres of development. In terms of for instance poverty or health, the BSR displays a substantial variation.

  10. The Principal Divides (3): Urban–Rural Between rural and urban areas:with very few exceptions the rural areas generally occupy the bottom positions regarding most aspects of socio-economic development. The financial crisis also appears to have affected rural migration harder than any other type of regions. And, Some of the most pronounced disparities in GDP/capita can be found between urban/rural areas – rather than between countries.

  11. Migration: trends 2005-2010

  12. Benchmarking

  13. Benchmarking

  14. Comparison with EU territory

  15. Looking forward! • “Upholding” TeMo • Updating indicators • Adding an “urban” • dimension • Further understanding • of stakeholder needs
