FINISHED
Post-soviet military residential areas and it surroundings are in a very specific situation – on one hand these are destroyed territories that are more or less unique (in comparison with whole area), on the other hand we have a substantial number of such territories counted as military territories by the members of Warsaw Pact. The transnational co-operation between these countries is a chance to overcome the current situation in effective way and to transfer the know-how.Central objectives of the project are:1) to assess different national experiences, the good and bad practices on revitalization of post-soviet military residential areas;2) to select indicators and to describe relationships between indicators and possible approaches;3) to develop methods for analyzing and descriptions of the situation (including spatial development models) in the post-soviet military residential areas and to develop and to evaluate possible development strategies;4) to develop specialized spatial planning tools;5) to increase the capacity of institutions involved in the development process of post-soviet military residential territories;6) to analyze challenges and opportunities for post-soviet military residential settlement development on regional level and to develop strategies and action programs for post-soviet military residential areas both on local and regional level;7) to prepare selected post-soviet military residential areas for investments;8) to make suggestions for national level policies concerning the reintegration and development of post-soviet military residential areas.
