The territorial impacts of JESSICA projects in municipalities: evidence from the city of Poznań

Abstracts

PL

Analiza prowadzona w niniejszym artykule miała na celu wykazanie, w jakim stopniu projekty JESSICA przyczynią się do poprawy spójności terytorialnej obszarów miejskich. W badaniu wykorzystano nieco zmodyfikowaną metodę TARGET_TIA stosowaną do oceny oddziaływania terytorialnego projektów. Badaniu poddano projekty JESSICA zrealizowane w Poznaniu. Wyniki wskazują, że w przypadku wszystkich projektów można dostrzec pozytywne efekty terytorialne, jednak ich oddziaływanie jest znacznie zróżnicowane. Projekty, które były najlepiej dopasowane do specyficznych potrzeb poszczególnych obszarów miejskich, w największym stopniu wypływają na poprawę spójności terytorialnej miasta. Wniosek ten pozwala twierdzić, że owo dopasowanie projektów powinno stanowić wyższy priorytet w procesie przyznawania pożyczki JESSICA.

This paper sets out to explore the contribution of JESSICA projects to enhancing the territorialcohesion of urban areas. We apply a slightly modified TARGET_TIA methodology to assess theterritorial impacts of those projects in the city of Poznań. It is found that the JESSICA projectsbrought about positive territorial effects in deprived urban areas, however, their impacts arequite varied. More exactly, the results demonstrate that projects which most closely addressedthe specific needs of the particular urban areas make the greatest contribution to improving theterritorial cohesion of a city. It is also suggested that the complexity of JESSICA projects shouldhave a higher priority in granting a JESSICA loan.
