ESTIA-SPOSEEuropean Space - Territorial Indicators and Actions for a SpatialPlanning Observatory in Southeast Europewww.uehr.panteion.gr/estia-sposeSPATIAL DEVELOPMENTMEASURE 1.1Project DescriptionESTIA-SPOSE builds upon the experience of theESTIA project and intends to develop actions fora Spatial Planning Observatory in South-EasternEurope (SPOSE), based on an integrated systemof territorial indicators fully compatible with theapproach of the European Spatial DevelopmentPerspective and the European Spatial PlanningObservatory Network (ESPON).This system will be tested in selected areas aimingto promote both, conceptual understanding andoperational compatibility.The project has three main components:i The Territorial Indicators System is the conceptualand methodological component of ES-TIA-SPOSE. Its construction is the most decisivefactor for the establishment of a SPOSE. It willbe based on the overall framework and the incomingresults of the ESPON.i The pilot applications of indicators in selectedareas is the empirical component of ESTIA-SPOSE. The applicability of the territorial indicatorsystem will be tested.i The Spatial Planning Observatory Platform willestablish a more solid network of agencies ofspatial planning and development that will supportthe operation and discuss all conceptual,methodological and practical aspects of SPOSEbased on Territorial Indicator System and pilotaplication of indicators in ESTIA-SPOSE space.i The pilot application of indicators focusing inNUTS III areas including major cities and developmentcorridors in NUTS II,i The establishment of a more solid structure ofa Spatial Planning Observatory Platform (Networkof National Focal Points), complementingESPON and including the Western Balkan area,i Documentation including reports and a comprehensivedatabase allowing for more cooperation,i Meetings and workshops promoting the exchangeof information and the necessary conceptualunderstanding and joint agenda forfuture cooperation,i A final conference for scientists, officials andpoliticians from all ESTIA space and neighbouringCADSES countries.DurationStart ....................................................... 10/2003End ......................................................... 12/2006Budget (EUR)Total Budget ....................................1,035,000.00thereof ERDF ......................................513,750.00EU Regions/Member StatesNon EU Member StatesLead PartnerProject PartnerLead PartnerUniversity Research Institute of Urban Env. and HumanResourcesAristotelous 1417 671 AthensGREECEContact PersonMr. Panagiotis GetimisTel +30 210 9247450Fax +30 210 9248781E-Mail pget@uehr.panteion.gr0 200 kmProject PartnersAlbania: Urban & Spatial Planning Design Studio, TiranaAustria: OIR - Austrian Institute for Regional Studies andSpatial Planning, ViennaResults and EffectsThe main objective of ESTIA-SPOSE is to enhancethe ability of the South-Eastern European countriesto collaborate in spatial development andplanning issues at transnational level through enhancingtheir individual and collective ability tocollect, elaborate and analyse spatial data, similarto the ESPON program.
