1 - The statistical function in the territory - Classification of municipalities according to EU, national and regional programmes and main indicators for the access to financing measures Prof. Ilario Favaretto – University Carlo Bò, Urbino – Faculty of Economics Dott. Gabriele Di Ferdinando – University Carlo Bò, Urbino – Territorial analysis laboratory AN ANALYSIS OF LOCAL TERRITORIAL SYSTEMS

2 Local territorial systems and the importance of the statistical function Part I: coordinates for the analysis of Local Territorial Systems Definition of spatial framework (homogeneous region, system region, programme region) Phenomena to be observed: an informational framework Definition of Local System Modes for the coordination of Local Territorial Systems Spatial approach to economic and social development issues: agglomeration and diffusion indexes, “territorial framework”.

3 Indicators for territorial policies - Contents Part II: Classification of the territory’s municipalities according to local policy financing (EU, national and regional) programmes Territorial allocations affected by local development policies (objective areas, administrative areas, functional areas) Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics (NUTS): definition and territorial correspondences Policies for the funding of local EU economies: goals and eligibility requirements A spatial approach to social and economic development

4 Part III: Main indicators for the access to territorial development funds: Method definitions: context, impact and result indicators; Interpretative types and features of statistical information based on: -individuals which statistical information is referred to (families, enterprises, Institutions) -subject of statistical information; - presence and residence; - economic activies (ATECO); From data collection to the reading of events: indicator building and comparison of different areas ; Statistical sources and and derivable information : -Socio-demographic indicators; -Socio-economic indicators (labour market and entrepreneurship structure); -Indicators relating to territorial features and more in particular infrastructural endowment Indicators for territorial policies - Contents

7 Based on agglomeration and diffusion indexes and on the “territorial,framework” The territory as an economic variable that: has an effect on the processes of localization of housing settlements and productive activities as well as on the speed and extent of the development of socio-economic systems Role of external economies in favour of single enterprises as well as their networks and sustem networks. An analysis method that takes into account the features and the strengths of the externality system:  Spatial approach  Territorial framework A method for the functional division of the territory

8 Spatial approach. This contributes to the definition of the externality system as an articulation of socio-economic development tools: infrastructures, institutions, places of culture, etc. This approach enables the improvement of the working framework. Territorial framework seen as a set of development tools and based on the historical settling of economic growth and social arrangement processes as well as interventions carried out by local policy makers and having settled in the course of time. Its representation allows to interpret the urban, architectural and productive characterization in terms of variety and extent of the presence of different types of economic, social and cultural-leisure activities. We should therefore consider the features of the territorial framework as a quality indicator of the degree of economic vitality and potentials of the popualtion of the different municipalities. Method approaches for the functional division of the territory

9 A method for the functional division of the territory. Indicators employed in the process:  Spatial density: number of enterprises/square kilometre  Manufacturing specialization: Number of manufacturing enterprises /overall n. of ent. The approach identifies the following areas: - overlap areas showing spatial density and productive specialization indexes greater than the average regional and national indexes; - productive and district specialization areas where the specialization index is greater that the index recorded at a regional and national level, - spatial density or “non district” areas where the spatial density index is greater than the index recorded at a regional and national level; - low specialization areas where non of the above indexes was assessed. The method employed involves the use of a spatial approach to development as it compares the spatial density indexes of enterprises with a-spatial specialization indexes:

11 PRIORITIES OF TERRITORIAL BODIES (REGIONAL AUTHORITY, PROVICE, MUNICIPALITIES, ETC.) IN THE PLANNING AND GOVERNMENT OF DEVELOPMENT 1) Development of an IT base for the definition of the indicators (economic- financial, socio-economic and structural indicators) required to develop a territorial development strategy broken down on a regional,provincial and municipal level, 2) Terriorial analysis and planning: a)Definition of analysis areas; b)Socio-economic analysis on different levels; c)Analysis of social and economic dynamics; d)Audit of the consistency of interventions with respect to territorial vocation and regional, provincial and local development policies; e)Identification of development scenarios 3) Economic planning for: a)Definition of involved players and consensus; b)Evaluation of the economic impact of investment (e.g. increase in the workforce) c)Formulation of Plans, Programmes and Projects; d)Identification of tools and implementation of interventions How to do it What to do Where to invest
