Rural development and regional disparities of the new EU Member States

The integration of Central and Eastern Europe into both the European and the world economy was in the last decade associated with a relatively high growth of gross domestic product and with a gradual increase in the economic level. The processes of convergence at the national level, however, were accompanied by an unbalanced spatial development. The paper analyzes, on the basis of the empirical statistical data, the impacts of the first years of the membership in the European Union on the development of regional differentiation and on development disparities between rural and urban regions. The evaluation of regional development is performed in regional units at the levels NUTS 2 and NUTS 3. Rural regions are monitored at the level of regional units NUTS 3. The examination based on the NUTS 2 units would not allow identifying of such a large number of rural areas.

Evaluationen in der Regionalentwicklung

In the 1990ies Regional Development Concepts have become a mainstream tool in the German Länder, mostly without a systematic review of their performance. Before this background the article deals with the neglected challenge of evaluations in regional development. Introductorily the need for and the restrictions of evaluations in regional development are described (Chapter 1). Starting from fundamental considerations on policy and programme evaluations (Chapter 2) and the state of art in evaluation of regional development in Germany (Chapter 3) a proposal for a method to evaluate Regional Development Concepts is outlined (Chapter 4) and conclusions are drawn (Chapter 5).

The strategic evaluation of regional development in higher education

The study analyses the role of regional development in higher education using the approach of the balanced scorecard, which provides a framework for organizations to describe and communicate their strategy. It turns out that the balanced scorecard is not only an approach for implementing the strategy, but it also provides a general framework for evaluating the strategy from the different perspectives. The study presents examples where the new evaluation approach has been used to analyse the national educational policy of regional development, regional strategies of higher education institutions and their cooperation. According to the results of the study, cooperation between higher education institutions is most important from the perspectives of learning and regional development.

Interactive water quality simulation in a regional framework: A management oriented approach to lake and watershed modeling

A phosphorus-based water quality simulation model for a shallow lake/reed system (Neusiedlersee, Austria) has been coupled with a series of heuristic, process oriented models describing the physical and socio-economic catchment of the lake. Built into an interactive, modular decision support system's framework, which includes simple database management, interactive video graphics, and linguistic output formats, the programs are designed for the simulation and evaluation of regional development, i.e., agricultural landuse, industry, tourism, wastewater treatment, and perceived lake water quality. Special emphasis is put on communication and display through a friendly man-machine interface, including linguistic statements for the description of lake water quality.
