    deveoped through a coaboraton

    o scentsts and pocmakers

    rom tweve European countres

    partcpatng n the EU-unded

    iMPAlA project.

    The iMPAlA project amed to

    contrbute to more concerted

    eorts across European countres

    to deveop oca nrastructures or

    esure-tme phsca actvt.

    The gudenes present a set o

    crtera or good practce, ustratedb a number o countr case

    studes. The crtera am to mprove

    opportuntes or achevng the

    prncpes o equt, nter-sectora

    coaboraton and partcpaton.

    The gudenes set out was n whch

    nrastructures or esure-tme

    phsca actvt can be assessed

    and mproved across ve ke areas:pocmakng, pannng, budng,

    nancng, and management.

    (and or certan communtes), where need s greatest.

    Such a targeted approach requres concerted acton that

    osters the deveopment o nrastructures to support

    The gudenes use a two-step-process to mprove lTPA

    The gudenes or mprovng lTPA nrastructures can

    be used as a quat management too to ensure good

    THE A PJECT

    The project improvng nrastructures

    or esure-tme phsca actvt n the

    oca arena - iMPAlA (unded b DG

    SANCO 2009-2010) amed to dent,mpement, and dssemnate good

    practce or the pannng, nancng,

    budng, and managng o oca

    nrastructures to support esure-tme

    phsca actvt. it nvoved the anass

    o natona poces and a revew o

    exstng mechansms and nstruments

    reated to nrastructure deveopment.

    iMPAlA contrbutes to a more

    consstent EU approach to oca

    nrastructure deveopment or esure-

    tme phsca actvt, hepng to reduceunequa access to nrastructures or

    esure-tme phsca actvt wthn

    and between natons.

    Quatatve ntervews wth experts

    and poc-makers were used to

    coect normaton about exstng

    poc documents such as reguator

    egsaton, gudenes and acton pans.

    in addton, quatatve ntervews were

    aso used aong wth documentar

    anass to assess the capabt o

    exstng mechansms (.e. proceduresand nstruments). Ths anass

    was carred out or three tpes o

    actes aganst the crtera: pannng/

    desgnng; undng; constructon; and

    management/servces.

    Athough gudenes and acton

    pans exst n a 12 partcpatng

    countres, resuts rom iMPAlA show

    that the extent and scope o theseder. Man o the poces tend to

    dea wth one tpe o nrastructure

    and/or one specc tpe o phsca

    actvt. Few were comprehensve

    and oten acked an understandng

    o the need or nrastructures and

    phsca actvt to be nternked. The

    man gaps n the poces dented

    ncude: ack o consderaton o how

    exstng nrastructures coud be

    used more ecent and or broader

    use to mprove access; detas o the

    benets o ntersectora workng

    and opportuntes to reach derent

    subgroups o the popuaton.

    in most countres oca governments

    are responsbe or the mpementaton

    o natona gudenes/acton pans and

    n some cases t s the prvate sector

    not the pubc sector whch takes

    responsbt or the deveopment

    o nrastructures or lTPA. A o

    the countres partcpatng n the

    iMPAlA project showed that a range

    o poc sectors are nvoved n

    actvtes assocated wth nrastructure

    mprovement comprsng ndependent

    operatng sectors such as sports

    sectors, urban and spata pannng,

    envronment, heath, toursm, and

    economcs.

    Four genera pannng approaches -

    nventores, per-capta approaches,needs assessment and partcpator

    pannng were dented as beng

    n use. Most o the countres had an

    nventor o nrastructures and about

    ha o the countres make use o per-

    capta approaches or deveopng

    nrastructures. However, ew countres

    adopt comprehensve approaches,

    whch woud ncude sstematc needs

    approaches to u engage reevant

    stakehoders and sectors. issuesreated to the budng, nancng, and

    management o nrastructures were

    sedom consdered n poces. Overa

    there was a ack o expct attenton

    to promote the prncpes o soca
