<strong>D5</strong> <strong>Annex</strong> <strong>report</strong> <strong>WP</strong> 2: <strong>ETIS</strong>­DATABASE METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

1 INTRODUCTION<br />

The present <strong>report</strong> represents the <strong>WP</strong> 2 annex <strong>report</strong> of deliverable <strong>D5</strong> of the reference database<br />

development within the <strong>ETIS</strong> project1. The objective of this <strong>report</strong> is to present an inventory of<br />

relevant data sources and to collect pilot data on a CD including a user manual of data access.<br />

Within <strong>ETIS</strong> socio economic data have to be structured in a consistent framework so that the<br />

other work packages can find in the socio economic database the indicators they need to<br />

characterise a socio economic environment.<br />

Although the objectives and structure of <strong>D5</strong> have been coordinated and harmonised so that this<br />

document is presented in a similar way for all <strong>WP</strong> of <strong>ETIS</strong>, its content will reflect this<br />

specificity of <strong>WP</strong>2 within the <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database development.<br />

These objectives are summarised as follows:<br />

· Determine the variables to be included<br />

· Describe the <strong>methodology</strong> to obtain the variables and to fill the remaining gaps<br />

· Describe the data collection<br />

· Describe the testing phase performed, lessons learned and its results<br />

· List the sources to be considered<br />

The testing phase data will concern demographic and economic data at national and regional<br />

level; the user manual to accede to these data, printed on a CD, will also be presented in the<br />

chapter IV.<br />

The last chapter concerns specific demands addressed to <strong>WP</strong>2 by other <strong>WP</strong> and in particular<br />

<strong>WP</strong> for freight and passenger modelling.<br />

1 The full title of the reference database part of <strong>ETIS</strong> project is <strong>ETIS</strong>­BASE ­ `Core Database Development for the European<br />

Transport policy Information System (<strong>ETIS</strong>)’<br />

2 OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIC ASPECTS<br />

The work on the <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database responds to key action 2, ‘Sustainable Mobility and<br />

Inter­modality’, objective 2.1 ‘Socio­economic scenarios for mobility of people and goods’,<br />

task 2.1.1/9, ‘Development of a European Transport policy Information System (<strong>ETIS</strong>) as a<br />

basis for transport planning and policy formulation’. The task is separated into three sub­tasks.<br />

The <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database addresses sub­task 2, ‘the development of a reference database for<br />

the modelling element’.<br />

The objectives of <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database are:<br />

1. To contribute to the building of a consensus view of the reference pan European transport<br />

modelling data set.<br />

2. To develop an open <strong>methodology</strong> to generate a version of such a set from existing<br />

international and national sources.<br />

3. To produce a first compilation of the data set by applying the <strong>methodology</strong> mentioned<br />

above, as on­line database.<br />

During the kick­off of the project it has been decided by the European Commission that within<br />

this project the work should focus on:<br />

1. the development of an <strong>ETIS</strong> for TEN­T policies,<br />

2. the procedures and data should face especially a monitoring of the TEN­T corridors,<br />

3. the geographic scope has to be adjusted to the forthcoming 10 new members,<br />

4. the PAN European scope has to be defined along the geographic hemispheres,<br />

5. the degree of detail in general can be reduced including a concentration upon a few<br />

indicators mentioned in the white paper,<br />

6. the results have to be available for further use within the G<strong>ETIS</strong> system,<br />

7. the work tasks and responsibilities have to be adjusted in respect of the new focus and the<br />

limited budget.<br />

The reference database of <strong>ETIS</strong> will serve a various series of TEN­T policy issues: the level of<br />

detail and the variables will be appropriate for this purpose. It will allow obtaining in an<br />

accurate way the performance and the impacts (environmental, economic) of transport, as well<br />

as the traffic at specific nodes or links of the networks. But the internal structure of the database<br />

will allow proceeding easily to any aggregation in order to get a compact view of transport<br />

performance (vehicle­kms etc) and effects (emissions level, energy consumption by mode etc).<br />

The work organisation of <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database is established in close co­operation with the<br />

external promotion 2 and contacts of <strong>ETIS</strong>. As part of this external promotion, support to the<br />

development of the <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database is an essential element.<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

There are several aspects on which synchronisation of the two projects take place:<br />

· 4 workshops specifically related to the development of the <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database<br />

· Open Conferences in which dissemination of results takes place<br />

· Participation to the <strong>ETIS</strong> Steering group<br />

· Testing of the system with pilot users, i.e. also testing of results of the development of the<br />

<strong>ETIS</strong> reference database<br />

· Dealing with specific issues like legal and organisational aspects.<br />

In addition the <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database will be incorporated in the <strong>ETIS</strong> software tools 3 . The<br />

two most important outputs of the reference database development that serve as input to the<br />

system tools being developed are:<br />

1. The metadata concerning indicators and data sources serve.<br />

2. The final reference <strong>ETIS</strong> database<br />

Furthermore in order to make it possible for the software tool developers to continue their work<br />

while the reference database is being developed working material is being delivered which has<br />

also been used in the TEN­STAC project. Intermediate results from the reference database<br />

development will be delivered as soon as it comes available. <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database<br />

construction will, where possible, use the results of G<strong>ETIS</strong> (GIS data) and TEN­STAC<br />

(indicator definitions and use of a selection of the input data) and find co­operation where<br />

possible.<br />

The <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database project, <strong>ETIS</strong> promotion and external contacts project and <strong>ETIS</strong><br />

software tools project 4 have come up with a common and better harmonised focus during<br />

meetings from November 2003 up to January 2004 in order to be able to come up at the end of<br />

the three projects with one consistent and unique <strong>ETIS</strong> product. This product is a pilot and it is<br />

expected that one will continue to maintain and to develop the <strong>ETIS</strong> tool to the interest of the<br />

European transport policy.<br />

2 Promotion work is covered by the <strong>ETIS</strong>­LINK project<br />

3 <strong>ETIS</strong> software tools are covered by the <strong>ETIS</strong>­AGENT project<br />

4 respectively <strong>ETIS</strong>­BASE, <strong>ETIS</strong>­LINK and <strong>ETIS</strong>­AGENT, the trilogy of <strong>ETIS</strong> projects<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

3 SETTING THE FRAMEWORK<br />

3.1 Introduction<br />

The distinction between supporting indicators and performance indicators does not really apply<br />

to <strong>WP</strong>2 where data collected or estimated are not transport data but socio economic data used as<br />

inputs for transport evaluation purpose.<br />

Therefore the focus is put on the organisation of socio economic data, which covers a large<br />

range of domains so that access to information is facilitated and default value can be estimated.<br />

3.2 Structure for socio economic indicators to be included<br />

A basic choice made to structure the database is to privilege the spatial dimension with three<br />

basic levels:<br />

· national level<br />

· regional level<br />

· local level.<br />

The national level corresponds to national socio­economic aggregates which are well defined in<br />

national statistics with a fairly good harmonisation at European level as well as at the world<br />

level, although the details available are much more limited for non EU countries. The new<br />

acceding countries can already be considered as the EU countries since an important<br />

harmonisation effort has already been made within EUROSTAT adaptation of the statistical<br />

concepts and data collection. A special mention must also be made for Mediterranean countries<br />

with the MEDSTAT programme aiming at coordination and collection of statistics for<br />

Mediterranean countries.<br />

The regional level is more difficult to define; as a first approximation the European NUTS II<br />

level can be considered as regional level although the NUTS II level does not always<br />

correspond to what is called the administrative region with different appropriate names or<br />

dimensions according to the history of the countries.<br />

Therefore the NUTS III level will also be considered at this second level of spatial<br />

desegregation, with a particular effort made for characterising a “regional” level for non EU<br />

countries; this will be in particular very useful for new “neighbours” of European Union since<br />

the European networks and corridors which are the main focus of first <strong>ETIS</strong> BASE application<br />

must also improved connections with these “new neighbours”.<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

The data at the NUTS III level are in general much less detailed than at the NUTS II level but<br />

they are very useful for network assignment of freight traffic and quite necessary for network<br />

assignment of passenger traffic since most of this passenger traffic is short distance traffic.<br />

The second stage of desegregation will be organised as follows (sections)<br />

(1) demographic information<br />

(2) economic aggregates<br />

(3) sector information<br />

(4) other socio economic information.<br />

A third dimension of the structure of the database is the geographic “scope” which will be<br />

analysed with the following differentiation (scope)<br />

(a) EU scope<br />

(b) Neighbour countries with possible sub levels<br />

(c) Rest of the world.<br />

3.3 Variables to be included and the way to estimate default value<br />

In many data sources and, in particular, in EUROSTAT details at NUTS II level are subdivision<br />

of details provided at NUTS III level and this property is quite useful where some data are<br />

missing, because NUTS II estimations can always be extended to NUTS III level as a first<br />

approximation.<br />

In <strong>WP</strong>2, the problem of missing data will be faced using this property of “embedded” definition<br />

of statistics nomenclature when possible; this property which has been just mentioned for<br />

relations between NUTS II and NUTS III can obviously be also applied between NUTS II and<br />

NUTS I (or NUTS O) and this was a major reason for privileging the spatial level as first<br />

dimension of database structuring.<br />

The third level, which is the “local” level, is also sometimes difficult to define rigorously; the<br />

reference to NUTS IV or NUTS V level is a possibility with NUTS V level associated to major<br />

agglomerations in dense populated area. Therefore when such definition does not exist and in<br />

particular in non EU countries, then the reference to “urban database” can be made.<br />

Such approach will then have three consequences in the <strong>WP</strong>2 database structuring:<br />

­ First it becomes clear that local information corresponding to this third level will mainly<br />

concern information on population which is often a quite good indicator for spatial<br />

distribution of activities and generation of traffic.<br />

10<br />

<strong>D5</strong> <strong>Annex</strong> <strong>report</strong> <strong>WP</strong> 2: <strong>ETIS</strong>­DATABASE METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

­ Secondly, when confronted with the difficulty of zoning definition of the local level the<br />

techniques of “raster” cells can be used so that an estimation of local spatial distribution<br />

of activity can be made in correlation with local spatial distribution of population or<br />

employment<br />

­ Thirdly that the GIS tool will be very useful, so that local impacts, assignment of local<br />

traffic can be made more rigorously using geocoded data; sensitive areas and population<br />

concerned can be, for example, very well referenced through GIS database.<br />

As far as data sources are concerned these three levels will in generally depend upon different<br />

types of database, modes of collection, or methods of estimation, although there is some<br />

convergences between regional and national information available within EU due to efforts<br />

made for regionalisation of information.<br />

In <strong>WP</strong>2 a special effort will then be made to extend the European information available in<br />

EUROSTAT to information for non EU countries, at regional level for neighbour countries and<br />

at national level for countries which are further away.<br />

Another type of effort will be made for a more generalised use of local information by<br />

introduction of GIS techniques for socio economic information used and not only for network<br />

description, as it will be done in other work packages.<br />

Another major point concerning <strong>ETIS</strong> and organisation of the socio economic database is that<br />

within each spatial level the same structure of information will be used within what will be<br />

called “sections” or “subsections” so that the total database consistency is strengthened with<br />

possibilities open to “bridge” information between, different sections such as employment and<br />

GVA.<br />

This is in particular the case for World Bank sources for non EU countries and the case of<br />

CORINE LAND COVER source which provide important geocoded statistics on sensitive<br />

areas, location of industry and tourism attractiveness.<br />

To conclude the presentation of this specific domain of the socio economic of <strong>ETIS</strong> BASE it<br />

must be stressed:<br />

· The field covered is probably wider than for other data sets in <strong>ETIS</strong> in particular as far<br />

as geographic scope is concerned including non EU states and the rest of the world<br />

· The differentiation between supporting and performance indicators is of limited interest<br />

as already pointed before and in particular in the first inventory of data of <strong>WP</strong>1 where a<br />

fairly large denomination was used concerning socio economic type of information: the<br />

details have been progressively précised after feedback with needs of other work<br />

packages.<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

However there is, also an open debate on the boundaries between the socio economic<br />

environment and the transport system which influence the way to address transport modelling:<br />

where are the limits between economic modelling and transport modelling?<br />

This is for example illustrated by the difference of structures between the SCENES model and<br />

the NEAC model for freight.<br />

On the one side there is a trade “economic” model which is extended to a transport model:<br />

basically there is a transformation of trade flows expressed in monetary value in traffic flows<br />

expressed in tons or number of vehicles.<br />

On the other side there is a direct connection between socio economic indicator and transport<br />

flows expressed in tons.<br />

These different approaches induce different requirements for socio economic inputs, with<br />

sometimes the necessity to use outputs of socio economic models as inputs to transport models:<br />

in this case the socio economic mechanism are externalised. Another important illustration of<br />

such situation is the “motorisation model”, very important for passenger mobility appraisal,<br />

which can be considered as an external socio economic model, reflecting an important feature of<br />

modern societies.<br />

Taking into account this specific position of socio economic information in <strong>ETIS</strong>, the question<br />

of data gap will be often treated in relation with this general organisation of the database so that<br />

“default” value can be used with reference to a more global spatial level (with, in general, more<br />

detailed information/or using demographic information as indicator of distribution of added<br />

value: this is a kind of “top down” estimation.<br />

Reversely when GIS database such as CORINE LAND COVER will be available, socio<br />

economic indicators for a zone can be constructed from geocoded information using “raster<br />

technique”, and a coverage of the zones by rasters.<br />

4 STRUCTURING OF SOCIO ECONOMIC, SPATIAL AGGREGATES<br />

The macro economic aggregates are relevant for the analysis of main evolutions of transport<br />

related to increase of mobility and trade. A special focus has to be put on EU integration,<br />

enlargement and to a context of globalisation which affect market sizes and behaviours.<br />

For these aggregates, time services are often essential in order to understand main structural<br />

changes of past decades, changes which are difficult to introduce explicitly in transport models,<br />

which are often calibrated on “cross sectoral statistics, for a base year.<br />

The sources of macro economic and demographic aggregates are differentiated according to<br />

geographic “scope”, for which different types of sources are available. At the level of EU,<br />

EUROSTAT is the main source but this database has many components and facets so that more<br />

precision must be provided in order to accede to relevant information. For non EU countries an<br />

investigation is made to find relevant sources for the different “sections” mentioned earlier.<br />

However the socio economic data must also be useful for the understanding of the spatial<br />

distribution of flows, at regional level which is in particular relevant for network<br />

implementation.<br />

For EU countries the regional level will be NUTS II or NUTS III defined in EUROSTAT. For<br />

other countries a reference has to be chosen which will correspond when it is possible, to<br />

administrative entities so that statistics can be attributed to such zone, this will be the case for:<br />

­ Mediterranean area<br />

­ Russia,<br />

­ Balkans,<br />

­ And the rest of the world.<br />

If the definition of zones has stabilised within EU + CEEC area, within EUROSTAT there is a<br />

problem of homogeneity of zones as well as a question of definition of zones outside this area<br />

for analysis of extension of European networks, in particular towards Mediterranean countries<br />

and Russia<br />

4.1 Demography<br />

4.1.1 Level 1: Country level<br />

Population is in general a well­known information with fairly reliable projections using<br />

demographic models based on age pyramid and fertility rate. However migration flows are more<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

difficult to apprehend, and have a significant influence on evolution of population and<br />

consequently on mobility. Therefore a special effort will be made to introduce available data on<br />

immigration.<br />

Sub sections<br />

- Total population per country<br />

- Population by sex and age group<br />

- Emigration and immigration as well as their distribution per country of origin or<br />

destination<br />

- Education: pupils and students by level of education and sex.<br />

Main sources<br />

The main sources are:<br />

- For EU, acceding countries and Mediterranean countries: EUROSTAT,<br />

- Other specific sources must also be mentioned such as “Plan Bleu” source for<br />

Mediterranean countries<br />

- For the rest of the world UN, World Bank<br />

Questions to be addressed in using demographic data<br />

Demographic models for projection of population can be used as a fairly reliable framework of<br />

reference for long term analysis. Demographic data and structure of population per age group<br />

and revenue are also very useful for motorisation modelling.<br />

However there is a difficulty to estimate migration flows which influence more and more the<br />

mobility data evolution of countries.<br />

4.1.2 Level 2: Regional level<br />

Sub sections<br />

- population at NUTS II and NUTS III<br />

- population by sex and age group at NUTS II<br />

- emigration and immigration at NUTS II.<br />

Main sources<br />

The main sources are:<br />

- REGIO for Europe<br />

- MEDSTAT for Mediterranean area, Balkans<br />

- Rest of the world: cities database (geocoded).<br />

- Population of cities as “proxy” for distribution of activities.<br />

<strong>D5</strong> <strong>Annex</strong> <strong>report</strong> <strong>WP</strong> 2: <strong>ETIS</strong>­DATABASE METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

Question to be addressed<br />

For many countries population is not available at regional level: in this case estimation can be<br />

made using geocoded cities database; this has been done for some countries in Mediterranean<br />

area in order to complete a regional population database in the area. Such databases are essential<br />

to distribute activities with countries at a regional level and thereafter to distribute traffic flows<br />

according to such indicator.<br />

4.2 Main macro economic aggregates<br />

4.2.1 Level 1: National level<br />

These aggregates are essential to relate general economic activity to transport activity and in<br />

particular to international transport within and outside EU.<br />

Form a technical point of view the choice of the indicator must be expressed in real terms so<br />

that correlations with “material” exchanges (trade of goods) or physical movements, the “trips”<br />

become more relevant and independent fluctuations of currencies or inflation.<br />

Sub sections<br />

The most important socio economic indicator is the GDP. In EUROSTAT the reference base<br />

year for GDP is 1995 and its yearly evolution is most of the time expressed in terms of relative<br />

change. For our purpose import and exports of countries are also relevant indicators to<br />

characterise EU integration or internationalisation of trade, although they are not often used in<br />

transport models as input variables.<br />

- GDP (real, constant euros base 95)<br />

- Import/exports (real or as % of GDP) with distinction between EU and non EU<br />

countries (with eventually further distinction for non EU countries)<br />

- Industrial production index<br />

Main sources<br />

- For EU, acceding countries and Mediterranean countries: EUROSTAT,<br />

- Within EUROSTAT special mention must be made to COMEXT which provides<br />

import and export on a country to country basis with detailed products<br />

nomenclature in Euros and tons per mode: therefore COMEXT can be considered<br />

as a socio economic database but also as one of the most important transport<br />

database.<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

Questions to be addressed in the use of macro economic aggregates<br />

- First it is necessary to recall there are relations between macro economic aggregates<br />

(production, import, export, consumption, investment) for economic development<br />

which have to be taken into account. These relations show in particular how the<br />

international trade influences more and more the GDP growth of countries. They<br />

show also that imports and exports grow faster than GDP and that these aggregates<br />

can fluctuate very much from one year to another (see table for recent years). These<br />

relations are accounting relations, but they can also reflect the choice of a type of<br />

macro economic model taken as reference for the development of the socio<br />

economic context (See Figure 4.1)<br />

- A second constraint mentioned concerns the choice of indicators which has to<br />

reflect, as much as possible, material exchanges ; this is why index of industrial<br />

production is often chosen rather than GDP (which includes services) for freight in<br />

the perspective of estimation of freight flows in tons: however this indicator is less<br />

often available and most of the time expressed in relative annual change (see Figure<br />

4.2)<br />

- A final remark is the necessity to initiate indicators for EU integration dynamic,<br />

enlargement and development of world trade. The following graph on EU trade<br />

shows clearly that new members of EU have a more rapid growth of intra UE trade<br />

(see Figure 4.3)<br />

4.3 Economic sectoral indicators<br />

4.3.1 Level I: National level<br />

Sub sections<br />

Structural change in the economy and evolution of specific sectors influence both volume of<br />

traffic and transport demand requirements expressed in terms of reliability and quality. To<br />

reflect these changes of structure several types of sectoral indicators must be considered.<br />

However beyond this general consideration it is necessary to address more precisely the<br />

question of the sectoral breakdown so that proper ad equation is made between structural<br />

change in the economy and consequences for transport.<br />

- Added value per sector (see Figure 4.4)<br />

- Employment per sector<br />

- Import/export per sector: value and tons<br />

- Specific information for energy sector and fuel price.<br />

Main sources<br />

- EUROSTAT for EU and in particular COMEXT,<br />

- For the rest of the world: World Bank<br />

- Fuel price: IRU (See Figure 4.5)<br />

Questions to be addressed<br />

- A first problem is the choice of sectors which means, not only the definition of the<br />

level of desegregation, the choice of type of nomenclature: do we privilege<br />

economy or transport nomenclatures (NACE or NSTR)? how relevant the NSTR<br />

is? (Figure 4.6 and Figure 4.7)<br />

R20040088.doc<br />

<strong>D5</strong> <strong>Annex</strong> <strong>report</strong> <strong>WP</strong> 2: <strong>ETIS</strong>­DATABASE METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT<br />

AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – SOCIO ECONOMIC DATA<br />

- Beyond this problem there is indeed the fundamental question of the choice of the<br />

type of model for freight modelling:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

a trade model from which transport flows in tons are derived (SCENES<br />

option)<br />

a transport model which relates directly transport flows in tons with economic<br />

indicators (NEAC option).<br />

In the first case we need to explicit tables of correspondence between economic nomenclature<br />

and transport nomenclature, since the economic model will be formulated using the first set of<br />

definitions of variables and the transport outputs with the second set.<br />

In the second case this is not necessary if correlations between economic variables and transport<br />

variables are satisfactory.<br />

However the level of the sector the question of competitiveness between countries becomes<br />

essential. This is why in option (a) a complete economic model can be integrated with transport<br />

model; in option (b) the economic mechanisms are externalised and sectoral indicators are<br />

inputs of the transport model.<br />

In option (a) an approach which has been privileged is to use input output national data per<br />

sector so that an international competition dynamic can be introduced: this is particularly<br />

interesting at a period of Europe enlargement with significant differences for personnel<br />

productivity between countries.<br />

Sub sections<br />

- Employment per sector at NUTS II (as an alternative proxy for sectoral spatial<br />

distribution)<br />

Main sources<br />

- REGIO for Europe<br />

- National statistics for non EU countries<br />

Main questions to be addressed<br />

The main socio economic indicator for spatial distribution between regions are not necessarily<br />

the most appropriate for projections of interregional traffic flows; this is again the problem of<br />

the difference between “cross­section” calibration and use of such calibration for projection<br />

purpose. One example to illustrate this difference is the following; the regional sector<br />

employment might be a good indicator for spatial distribution of a given product but it can<br />

induce wrong interpretation when used for projection of regional flows: productivity increase<br />

and economic performance of a sector does not go necessarily in parallel with employment<br />

increase and in many cases the correlation is even negative.<br />

- World fact book.<br />

Questions to be addressed<br />

First there is the estimation of motorisation rate from demographic data, as well as revenues,<br />

and prices for use of a car which is an important indicator for passengers mobility and modal<br />

choice; in this case we consider the motorisation rate as external socio economic indicator. But<br />

there is also the question of monitoring so called “structural indicators”, which are of relevance<br />

for assessment of impact of transport policy:.<br />

- Structural indicator on exclusion and cohesion (EUROSTAT) (Figure 4.8)<br />

- Data available on attitudes and opinions of European population which become<br />

more important with development of public consultations for construction of new<br />

infrastructures; these information on attitude also take into consideration attitude<br />

towards environment<br />

- Information of “non transport” policies which influence transport (see<br />

FORESIGHT project) with in particular the rate which can be attributed to public<br />

services and public transport in different countries.<br />

5 DATA NEEDS AND NEW BOTTOM UP CONSTRUCTION OF<br />

INDICATORS<br />

In <strong>WP</strong>2 a new approach of socio economic indicator construction can be explored based on new<br />

GIS tools or GIS models. The basic principle relies on the possible availability of geocoded<br />

socio economic characteristics but mainly concerning physical characteristics of the space<br />

which takes a growing importance in transport policy concern.<br />

An illustration of these new needs and opportunities is given by the evaluation made in TEN<br />

STAC concerning the impact of new priority projects (or corridors).<br />

These types of socio economic data refer to local socio economic context.<br />

Several types of data needs expressed by other <strong>WP</strong> could be addressed using such method as it<br />

has been stressed by <strong>WP</strong>4 on passenger modelling to characterise attractiveness of geographic<br />

zones for tourism.<br />

This context is important for local generation of traffic, assessment of local impact of TEN<br />

policy as well as for appraisal of infrastructure capacity where conflicts might arise between<br />

local and interregional traffic for use of infrastructure.<br />

5.1 Information available<br />

Main information available are:<br />

5.1.1 Demography<br />

­ population in towns and communes<br />

5.1.2 Main national macro economic aggregates<br />

­ Implementation of types of industries for more precise analysis of freight access to<br />

network<br />

5.1.4 Other socio economic indicators<br />

­ Location of sensitive areas which are protected<br />

­ Topographic and climate information.<br />

5.2 New methods for construction local socio economic indicators<br />

From the methodological point of view there is the opportunity of more intensive use of GIS for<br />

evaluation of policy and projects and development of raster and buffer methods for modelling<br />

and assessment of environmental impact (corridor approach for TEN T priority experience of<br />

TEN STAC) for example raster analysis to better understand conflicts between traffic flows of<br />

different origins for use of infrastructure and development of congestion (passengers and<br />

freight, local and interregional). It can also be used to assess impact of transport using socio<br />

economic local information such as population concerned. (Figure 5.1).<br />

“Buffer” analysis cans, on the other hand be used to assess conflicts between corridor and<br />

protected area; it points out, for example, how far a priority corridor is from protected area<br />

(Figure 5.2)<br />

However there are limits in local information availability concerning in particular land use<br />

5.3 The testing case<br />

A first testing case has been realised within phase 2 of the reference database development with<br />

an application to demographic data.<br />

These demographic data have been reorganised according to the structure presented in part I<br />

according to different dimensions: spatial level, content in sections and geographic scope.<br />

These dimensions are the lines and columns of matrices which characterise the organisation of<br />

this database. The cells of the matrices inform about the availability of the information, and<br />

when available, provide direct access to it.<br />

For the pilot case the matrices can be presented as follows with in line the sections (and<br />

subsections) and in columns the spatial level and the geographic scope.<br />

In the following tables the cross means that the data have been collected in relevant sources and<br />

implemented on a CD.<br />

6 CONCLUSION<br />

<strong>D5</strong> refines the structure of the socio economic components of the <strong>ETIS</strong> database, which concern<br />

the socio economic environment of transport and therefore plays a specific role in the overall<br />

organisation of <strong>ETIS</strong>.<br />

The field covered by the socio economic information is open to a broad definition of the socio<br />

economic environment of transport leaving the door open to new type of indicator within a<br />

“section” which has been called other socio economic indicator.<br />

However the structure adopted is fairly simple; it privilege spatial levels (national, regional,<br />

local), the “content” items, the so­called “sections”, presented in an homogenous way for<br />

different spatial levels and finally the geographic scope (EU, neighbour countries, rest of the<br />

world) which often determine the statistical sources to be referred to. This systematic way of<br />

presenting the information helps to fill the gap with “default” values, since the structure of<br />

organisation also reflects a prioritisation of data: a missing value at a lower spatial level can<br />

always be replaced by a value available at a more global level, an information on demography<br />

can often be an indicator for distribution of employment, added value.<br />

But not all the statistical sources required have been received yet. New techniques for filling the<br />

gaps are also envisaged using “raster” cell technique or “buffer” technique of GIS methods<br />

when detailed GIS database will be communicated to NESTEAR such as CORINE LAND<br />

COVER to precise geographic implementation of industries or location of protected areas.<br />

The question of performance indicators did not really concern the field of socio economic data,<br />

since it addresses the outputs of the transport system; however the question of performance of<br />

socio economic sectors or countries maybe sometimes of relevance for inputs or outputs of<br />

transport models in order to better understand the performances of the transport sector; this is<br />

why some common “structural indicators” of the economic and social system are also<br />

mentioned and in particular indicators which have been used in the ECOFIN studies or in Plan<br />

Bleu for Mediterranean area.<br />

The testing case chosen for the <strong>D5</strong> deliverable is concentrating on demographic data although<br />

much of socio economic data have also been collected at regional level; the presentation used is<br />

again fairly simple and should help the modellers to find socio economic data they want to<br />

obtain, and that they have transmitted to NESTEAR: among these data most of them can<br />

already be made available, most of the missing ones being related to the availability of GIS<br />

database.<br />
