5.0PUBLIC BENEFIT MAPS –THE EVIDENCE BASEPhotograph © River Nene Regional ParkMAP 23: ADULT QUALIFICATION LEVELSOne of the region’s aspirations is to be in the top 20 performing regions in Europe. To achieve this will require a continuing process ofskills acquisition to allow adaptation to knowledge-based, high-technology industries. Green Infrastructure can play a role in this attwo levels; firstly by creating a setting for higher-value industries to wish to locate into; secondly by enabling training opportunities e.g.skills in the environmental economy itself, plus also confidence-boosting basic skills for those returning to, or joining, the world of workfrom difficult personal circumstances.Map 23 reveals those areas where the working-age adult is relatively low qualified – indicating priority areas for investment.37
5.0PUBLIC BENEFIT MAPS –THE EVIDENCE BASEPhotograph © Nathalie HeuberMAP 24: ENVIRONMENTAL TOURISM ASSETS*Based upon data compiled prior to 21st July 2006Map 14 shows the location of all the region’s key natural and cultural assets, whether or not they are an attraction in their ownright. For many such assets, their ability to sustain visitor numbers is key to their financial viability and manage-ability. As notedearlier (Map 22), such assets can also sustain jobs and businesses. For example, the RSPB estimates that each visitor to the NorthNorfolk Coast nature reserves spends £14 and that £30-40,000 pounds spent equates to the employment of one full time post.Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve receives over 500,000 visitors a year.This Map shows the location of those assets which, or are most likely to, sustain a tourism-related business. Also included is a500m buffer around each of these assets to reflect a zone within which GI plays a supporting role to an environmental business.38
