“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)
What we have built
Stakeholder driven,
policy centered,
indicator based,
and analytically advanced,
monitoring of territorial dev.
in the BRS region
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
(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
Analytical “toolbox” / Complex indicators
”Distribution”
”Convergence”
”Targeted/Territorial”

Application of the System
Testing of the monitoring system: to establish the functionality of the system 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).
The Principal Divides (1): East-West
Between more 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.
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.
The Principal Divides (3): Urban–Rural
Migration: trends 2005-2010

“Upholding” TeMo
Updating indicators
Adding an “urban” dimension
Further understanding of stakeholder needs
