The Ministry for Regional Development promotes the theme of territorial impact assessment in accordance with the implementation strategy of regional development 2021+ (type action no. 54: Use a tool Territorial Impact Assessment at the level of policies and projects) by the Ministry for Regional Development for the period 2021-2027 prepared .
The aim of the whole project TIA - Territorial Impact Assessment is to present the Methodology of Territorial Impact Assessment of Interventions / Projects, to show how to use the methodology and especially to motivate municipalities, regions and other actors in the territory to address the topic of territorial impact assessment, dealt with in the future and used this assessment.
The analysis of the initial situation showed that:
- it is necessary to assess in more detail and intensively (ex-ante and ex-post) whether the funds are spent on projects that will have the greatest possible effect in the territory, or, for example, whether the intended project is likely to have a negative effect greater than the positive effect, etc.
- especially for projects of greater importance, there is a growing need for ex-ante evaluation of the full range of possible impacts - both their positive and possible negative aspects in space and time
- Currently, the territorial dimension is evaluated only exceptionally; although various tools (CBA, feasibility studies) are used in the evaluation of existing projects, the methodologies for such types of evaluation do not explicitly include a territorial dimension.
- It is necessary to create methodological instructions (using existing materials), which will be specifically focused on evaluating the territorial dimension and will allow evaluations to be mutually comparable and usable both for comparing various projects and for deciding on specific investment plans, e.g. at the level of individual municipalities.
