REGIONAL POLICY
Project: A theoretical analysis of the interdependences between environmental policy, regional planning and regional development policy
State: Finished
Submitter: Czech Science Foundation
Time of Relevance: 2009–2010
Project Objective:
Main aim of this project is to analyse the mutual dependences between environmental policy, regional development and regional planning. The result of this analysis should be connecting the methods used by particular listed fields and close cooperation of their representatives within interdisciplinary tasks.

Brief Summary:
The project content reacts to the present discrepancies in theoretical definitions and the practical enforcement of state policies aimed at environmental protection, regional development and regional planning. These discrepancies decrease the effectiveness of these policies, namely in relation to their ability to achieve predefined objectives. They happen even despite the fact that the “triangle” of these policies has the potential to achieve multiple effects in reference to the subject of their interest. In many cases a misunderstanding of the defined principles of particular policies and the existing mutual dependencies causes the discrepancies.
The main outputs of the project are an analysis of the theoretical approaches to this issue, a proposal for a methodology to evaluate the influence of natural resources used in regional development and regional planning and a graphic documentation of the relationship between developing a region and natural resources use.
