Activities and prospects of research activities concerning tools of territorial intelligence for sustainable development actors Workpackage 6 “Tools for actors”of CAENTI. Jean-Jacques GIRARDOT

Abstract

This communication makes a state of the coordination activities carried out by the 6th work package “Tools for actors” of the CAENTI, Coordination Action of the European Network of Territorial Intelligence.The WP6 aims at designing and disseminating tools of territorial intelligence from CATALYSE tools that most of the CAENTI participants use. CATALYSE suggests tools 1) of diagnosis and evaluation, 2) of inventory of the territorial services and 3) of analysis of territorial information. These tools were tested in different countries or regions of Europe. In 2006, the activity of the WP6 is focused on the definition of the specifications of a “CATALYSE” toolkit, starting from the experiment of the CAENTI participants, which contributed to the development of these tools since the beginning of the 1990s. It will make a homogeneous synthesis at the European level which will be accessible to new users. Then, the program plans the online publishing of diagnosis and evaluation tools in 2007 and the constitution of an indicators portal in 2008. The first months of the CAENTI were devoted to the definition of the specifications of the diagnosis and evaluation guide contents, which is a determinant tool of the method. Celia SANCHEZ LOPEZ coordinated the definition of both a diagnosis and an evaluation guides that correspond to the European standards concerning socio-economic data, thanks to the guides that are used by the CAENTI actors. Presently, this work led to specifications that she will present. From now on, these research results, which are presented in another communication, allow directing the research towards the protocols of statistical and spatial treatment and towards the specifications of the data processing tools.
