Spatial Planning in Northern Peripheral Regions (Spatial Planning)
Start date: Feb 28, 2005, End date: Dec 30, 2007 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Spatial planning and development have been developed as a method in the EU over a long period, and have resulted in the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP). However, the specific conditions in the NPP area make it important to develop methods for spatial planning and development that are adapted for the region. In orderto achieve this, exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of spatial planning and development are required. The region also needs to analyse the ESDP both from a methodological point of view and for its analysis and proposals. To ensure a more attractive society in the Northern Periphery, it is vital that the very diverse policies and strategies, addressing different themes at different scales, and concerning all elements of the social economy (e.g., natural resources, forestry, tourism, energy, services sectors) have a clearer focus to provide a framework for strategic and sustainable development. The primary aim of the project is to develop a toolbox or set of good practices for integrated and participatory spatial planning and development; applicable to the partner regions and all other regions of the Northern Periphery Programme Area, as well as to other parts of Europe. Expected Results: • Inventory of data for large-scale spatial planning, including gap analysis• Review of GIS in regional spatial planning• Evaluation of policies/strategies at spatial scales from the local to the EU• Overview of, and lessons learned from, recent and ongoing participatory approaches to spatial/regional planning• Definition of strategies for the region and how to align them• Skills and capacity development for key individuals through study tours to other regions
