Claude GRASLAND on behalf of M4D 1 The Usefulness of the ESPON Scientific Platform for Policymakers ESPON Database : Case Studies Interface 4-5 June 2014 Nafplion, Greece

INTRODUCTION : The mysterious case study M4D has decided to offer an extra case study for free to the ESPON Program. Can you look at the map and find the topic of this case study ? 1. EU Elections ? 2. Creative Class ? 3. Accessibility ? 4. Globalization ?

3 1.The usefulness of case studies for policy makers 2.The M4D search interface for case studies 3.Typology of case studies available Plan

1. THE USEFULNESS OF CASE STUDIES FOR POLICYMAKERS

What does policymakers expect from ESPON ? « ESPON should be a lover … and give policymakers what they want ! » Lewis D., ESPON meeting in Gödöllö, June 2011

ESPON is well adated to the needs of EU regional policy 1. Download Data ESPON Database Portal 2. Visualize Maps ESPON Mapfinder 3. Examine options ESPON Policy Briefs What can ESPON tell me about demographic trends and potential needs of external migrations ?

But regional data (NUTS2/3) does not cover all needs Some policy makers request for more local data (ZOOM IN) Some policy makers request for more global data (ZOOM OUT)

Example of ZOOM-IN case studies. POLYCEBest Metropolis

Examples of ZOOM-OUT case studies TIGER M4D ITAN

2. THE M4D SEARCH INTERFACE OF CASE STUDIES

11 Introduction ESPON TPGs can deliver two types of datasets: Key indicator datasets Case Study datasets

12 ESPON TPGs can deliver two types of datasets: Key indicator datasets Case Study datasets Introduction Cover the entire ESPON Space (EU28+4+CC) Respect the ESPON metadata and data template (INSPIRE) Rely on NUTS or Urban nomenclatures

13 ESPON TPGs can deliver two types of datasets: Key indicator datasets Case Study datasets Does not necessary cover the entire ESPON Space May be data at local scale May be data to compare different regions in the world (Barcelona vs Mexico) Cover the entire ESPON Space (EU28+4+CC) Respect the ESPON metadata and data template (INSPIRE) Rely on NUTS or Urban nomenclatures Introduction

14 Introduction Hence two Search user interfaces for: Key indicator datasets

28 Metroborder depicts cross-border situations at local level (LAU2)

29 EuroIslands highlights specific territories (NUTS 3 islands)

30 KIT benchmarks with extra ESPON study areas

31 Overview of ESPON Case Studies up to June ESPON Projects 11 Case Studies 67 Points in the ESPON Area 18 points out of the ESPON Area KEY FIGURES These maps do not necessarily reflect the real coverage of ESPON Case Studies

32 Number of Case Studies per ESPON country up to June 2014 WARNING ! These maps do not necessarily reflect the real coverage of ESPON Case Studies because it concerns only Case Studies associated to delivery of data

CONCLUSION : ANSWER TO THE ENIGMA

34 PARIS VAL DE MANE SEINE SAINT DENIS HAUTS DE SEINE Essonne Yvelines Val d’Oise Seine et Marne Spatial unit are made proportional to population on the right cartogram Seine et Marne Yvelines Essonne Val d’Oise The mysterious map was a cartogram of Ile de France

This is very usefull for policy oriented case studies Maps clearly suggest that people excluded from « creative class » and living in periphery of metropolitan area was more likely to support anti-EU political party.

Elections are crucial political topic for case studies … Crossing thesocial and economic data with the results of EU election of 2009 and 2014 should be a priority adressed by policy makers to ESPON …

Thank you for your attention! 37
