National Spatial Plan

• Period 2010 – 2014 – 2020• Vision: in the future Serbia should be territorially defined

and regionally well balanced, competitive, socially coherent and stable with sustainable economic growth, propoer infrastructure and good transport accessibility, preservation and protection of natural and cultural heritage, enhanced environment and functionally integrated with neighboring countries and regions

• Basic goals:– Balanced regional development– Regional competitiveness and accessibility– Sustainably used natural resources and protected

and improved environment– Protected and sustainably used natural and cultural

heritage and landscape– Spatial and functional integration with the

surroundings

Detailed presentation of an indicator

• Name and description: short description of the content of indicator

• Goals: area of application – main goal and operational goal which link to the indicator

• Geographical cover: national, regional, and/or local

• Calculation: description of parameters for calculation

• Interpretation: еlements which enable better understanding and application of the indicator

• Sources: sources for data collection and indicator monitoring

• Publishing frequency: if indicators are available in time series

• Future development of indicator: further improvments of indicator; expected new sources and statistical monitoring

Construction of monitoring system

• Initial list created by Omiljena Dzelebdzic• Breakdown in 4 quadrants: easy-difficult to create, data

easy-difficult to obtain• On the long term research and data exchange program

needed to sustain other quadrants• Co-operation with universities and data providers• Versioning, time series• Issues of data quality, reliability, transparancy of

calculation, etc.

Example 1 – strategic priority

Part of SPRS: nature, ecologic development and protection

Strategic priority: increasing the total area under protection up to 10% of the

territory of Serbia in the period until 2014 by declaring new protected areas

Duration of the project: 2011-2015.

Links with indicators: protected natural areas, fragmentation index

Links with goals: protected natural and cultural heritage and landscape

Indicator: protected natural areas

Link with the goal: protected natural and cultural heritage and landscape

Link with operational goal: limited decrease of natural areas – protecting natural habitats

and preserving biodiversity

Example 1 – indicator

Example 2 – strategic priority

Part of SPRS: population, settlments and social development

Strategic priority: initiating development of a comprehensive study of informal

settlements and illegal construction

Duration of the project: 2012-2014.

Links with indicators: illigal construcation in protected water source areas, land use

(CORINE), gini index

Links with goals: natural resources and improved environment

Indicator: illigal construcation in protected water source areas

Link with the goal: natural resources and improved environment

Link with operational goal: rational land occupancy

Example 2 – indicator

Example 3 – strategic priority

Part of SPRS: economy, transport and infrastructure

Strategic priority: completion of construction of the second half of the highway in the length of 107 km: Horgos-Novi Sad (branch B of the corridor X)Duration of the project: 2010-2013.Links with indicators: potential multimodal accessibility for population, intensity of traffic per network segment, density of road and railroad border crossings by the segments of border area, Travel time by car to MEGA's and transnational FUA's (ranked by the importance of FUA's)Links with goals: regional development and social cohesion, natural resources and improved environment, functional integration with the surroundings

Indicator: intensity of traffic per network segment

Link with the goal: natural resources and improved environment

Link with operational goal: decreasing environmental impact of transport and

sustainable use of energy

Example 3 – indicator

Various uses of monitoring information

• Early warning: signals specific problems

• Assess effectiveness of policies

• Etc.

Implementation program in next months

• November 2011 – adoption of implementation program

by the governement

• December 2011 – preparation of the draft first annual

report on spatial development

• begining 2012 – publication of the first annual report on

spatial development

• during 2012 – preparation of the second annual report

on spatial development

• ... better policy formulation

Conclusions

• Gradual improvement data infrastructure by

annaul publication report

• Long term plans for scientific and

interinstitutional co-operation on a regular still

need to be further developed

• Time-lag caused by data-collection could be

solved by projections in the near future

(demography, economy, transport models)
