The ESPON 2013 Programme:Prospects and Achievements
Regional and Urban Statistics
Working Group meeting
The ESPON 2013 Programme
Role in Structural Funds 2007-2013– Support policy development with evidence on territorial
structures, trends, perspectives and policy impacts
Mission– Provide comparable information on territorial dynamics– Reveal territorial capital and potentials
Budget– 47 mill. Euro,
– 34 mill. Euro from the European Commission– 13 mill. Euro from 31 countries participating
(EU 27 + Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland)
Programme structure– 5 Programme priorities
5 Priorities
The work programme is structured in five priorities:
P1. Applied Research on territorial development,competitiveness and cohesion:
Evidence on European territorial trends, perspectives and policy impacts;
P2. Targeted Analysis based on user demand: European perspective to development of different types of territories;
P3. Scientific Platform and Tools: Territorial indicators and data, analytical tools and scientific support;
P4. Capitalisation, ownership and participation: Capacity building, dialogue and networking.
P5. Technical Assistance, Analytical Support & Communication
Open Calls in 2009
On 16 September Calls for Proposals and Expression of Interests are opened - deadline: 11 November 2009
P1. Applied Research – 6 projects running– 11 new projects are in call for proposals
P2. Targeted Analysis– 6 projects running– 2 new projects are in call for proposals– 10 new stakeholder ideas are called
P3. Scientific Platform and Tools– 1 project running– 1 project is in call for proposals– scientific tools and map updates
P4. Capitalisation− 7 Transnational Networking Activities in call for proposals
Priority 3: Scientific Platform and Tools
Four types of action:• ESPON Database and data development
• Territorial Indicators/Indices and Tools
• Territorial Monitoring System and Reports
• Targeted Actions for Updates of Indicators and Maps
Triad:
Territorial Indicators/Indices
Database Monitoring
Outline
• Strategic approach of the ESPON 2013 DB project
- Enlarge time, space and thematics
- Overcome lacunas
• Practical examples of progresses achieved with the current deliveries
- Harmonisation of NUTS changes
- Integration of socio-economic data with Corine Land Cover
- Methods for detecting errors and exceptional values
- Thematic structure: Towards an ESPON thesaurus?
- From UMZ to Urban Audit LUZ
Enlarge time, space, and thematics
Scale dimension: • Local (1 to 10 km )• Medium (10 to 1000 km)• Global (1000 to 10 000 km)
Time dimension: • Short term (1995-2015)• Medium term (1980-2020)• Long Term (1950 – 2050)
Thematic dimension : • Economic competitiveness• Sustainable environment• Social cohesion
Geographical object : • Administrative units• Grids• Cities & Networks
... identify lacunas in comparison with to the previous ESPON database
Scale dimension: • Local (Zooms)
• Medium (Nuts2 / Nuts3)• Global (Europe in the WOrld)
Time dimension: • Short term (1995-2003)• Medium term (demography)• Long term (Europe in the World)
Thematic dimension : • Economic competitiveness• Sustainable environment• Social cohesion
Geographical object : • Administrative units• Cities & Networks• Grids
Strategic approach for the ESPON 2013 DB
Enlarge time series Enlarge scales and levels Enlarge cross-cutting themes
2. Identification of NUTS changes
1. Implement common data in each NUTS version by using historical databases
3. Creation of time-series by proposing different methodologies

Harmonisation of NUTS changes
Harmonisation of NUTS changes: historical databases
• Explore historical databases, namely NewChronos database• A common methodology has been defined in order to
sistematically check what is temporal, geographical and thematic coverage of indicators
Harmonisation of NUTS changes for temporal databases
• NUTS entities (name, code, geometry, and hierarchical level) from NUTS 1995 to NUTS 2006 have been identified
• Next stages will involve the production of typologies of changes in order to propose adapted solutions to harmonise time series

Enlarging scales and levels
Spatial analysis tools applied to data control
• Statistical methods for detecting expectional values (i.e. boxplot filter)
• High (blue) and low (red) aspatial outliers
• High valued outliers seem to be prevalent in the more recent accession countries
• Italy has a mixture of high valued outliers neighbouring low valued outliers
• Britanny region looks interesting too

Thematic Structure: Towards an ESPON thesaurus?
Goal
• Thesaurus for organizing and facilitating data retrieval via metadata keywords fields
Methods
• Review of database thematic structures (ESPON, OECD, ILO) and thesaurus building methods (ESTAT, EUROVOC)
• Text mining methods (frequency, co-occurrence, cluster analyses) applied to comprehensive list of reports, studies, policy notes that make reference to ESPON evidence and results (EC, EP, CoR, EESC, …)
