Abstract

This article describes a part of the POTENTIALS project promoted by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) of the EU, which, in general, has aimed to develop business models for the reuse of former industrial and mining sites in different European regions. The goal of this project focused on the creation of so-called eco-industrial parks to enable sustainable energy production and reduce waste and pollution on coal sites in transition. A key aspect was the development of a suitable territorial impact assessment (TIA), a new and complex policy tool for the assessment of the territorial impacts of EU policies and projects on territorial cohesion. Therefore, the special TEQUILA (Territorial Efficiency, Quality and Identity Layer Assessment) approach is used to describe the TIA for this case and emphasizes its application in assessing ex ante the impacts of the transition from a coal site to an eco-industrial park. It underlines the need for a differentiated understanding of the regional characteristics and potential impacts of transition policies or projects. Furthermore, the process and results of applying the TEQUILA methodology, a multicriteria analysis, in the context of regionalized impact models has shown how important it is to select well-defined, expert-based criteria, but at the same time, to establish a system that is flexible and adaptable to the needs of political decision makers and stakeholders considering the normative weights of the criteria. This has been illustrated by some examples.
转型期煤炭开采地的国土影响评估
本文介绍了由欧盟煤炭和钢铁研究基金(RFCS)推动的 POTENTIALS 项目的一部分内容,该项目的总体目标是在欧洲不同地区开发重新利用前工矿用地的商业模式。该项目的目标重点是建立所谓的生态工业园区,以实现可持续能源生产,减少转型期煤炭基地的废物和污染。该项目的一个重要方面是制定合适的领土影响评估 (TIA),这是一种新的、复杂的政策工具,用于评估欧盟政策和项目对领土凝聚力的领土影响。因此,本案例采用了特殊的 TEQUILA(领土效率、质量和特征层评估)方法来描述领土影响评估,并强调其在评估从煤炭基地向生态工业园区过渡的影响方面的应用。它强调了对地区特点和转型政策或项目的潜在影响进行差异化理解的必要性。此外,在区域化影响模型中应用 TEQUILA 方法(一种多标准分析方法)的过程和结果表明,选择定义明确、以专家为基础的标准是多么重要,但与此同时,考虑到标准的规范权重,建立一个能够灵活适应政治决策者和利益相关者需求的系统也是多么重要。一些实例说明了这一点。
