OBJECTIVES:
To identify the key ecological, economic and social determinants of sustainability at the regional level through formulation of an evaluation framework for sustainable regional development policies and strategies.
DESCRIPTION:
Sustainable development requires a change in more traditional regional development policies. New approaches in such policies, which correspond to the basic objectives of sustainable development require a more elaborate set of reliable policy instruments. The project analyses and compares experiences gained in Austria, Germany, Italy, Ireland and Switzerland concerning the sustainability of regional policies by:
i) elaborating an evaluation framework for regional development policies and strategies in terms of sustainability, using a set of quantitative and qualitative indicators;
ii) analyzing and comparing experiences gained in typical regions of five European countries;
iii) identifying "key factors of sustainability" at the regional level and establishing the range of policy options;
iv) establishing a set of most suitable and effective policy instruments for the sustainable reorientation of regional development.
The research will make it possible to assess the most effective policy tools - including legal, financial and knowledge-based instruments - institutional conditions and management procedures for a sustainable regional development. Specific recommendations will be formulated for policymakers and project managers at European, national, regional and local levels.
