Background This report contains a baseline analysis for the Trans-Borders project. Regional analyses will demonstrate the needs and efforts on cross-border regions and provide the basis for further steps in the project, for identifying best practice examples and for building strategies for border regions. Some of the data in this report can also be used to evaluate the outcome of the project’s concepts and measures. Topics in this report Topics covered in the regional analyses were: geographic aspects, demographics, spatial information, connections overview, tourism, commuters, finance, passengers and strategy. Test regions This report delivers information that can be used to identify the problems and needs of cross-border public transport in the following test areas: 1. Saxony (DE) - Lower Silesia (PL) 2. Liberec region (CZ) - Lower Silesia (PL) 3. Liberec region (CZ) - Saxony (DE) 4. Carinthia (AT) - Koroška (SI) Information is provided for each of the five regions involved: Saxony, Lower Silesia, the Liberec region, Koroška and Carinthia. The report is intended to serve as an additional information base for the project partners, especially the working groups, and for the next project steps: • Transnational Workshop in peripheral regions of Central Europe (best practice) • Stakeholder Workshop for all PP regions • Strategy building process • Best practice review of PT services in border regions 1.2. Methods Project partners completed the templates containing the different criteria. The data was analysed, aggregated and presented in this report by Elfsights GmbH (Langenargen, Germany) on behalf of the Office of the Carinthian Government, Department 7. Support was provided by the Transport Association of Carinthia. Not all data templates were complete for all of the criteria / topics and regions. The descriptive analysis, calculation of further indicators and graphical output were produced by MS Excel. Conclusions were drawn by the analyst, where possible. Interpretation of the results should be carried out by the project partners’ working group members. 4 1.3. Overview of test regions Data from five regions were analysed: Saxony (DE), Lower Silesia (PL), the Liberec region (CZ), Carinthia (AT) and Koroška (SI). Table 1 gives an overview of regions and municipalities. Table 1: Municipalities of the test regions, including total area, permanent settlement area and number of inhabitants Permanent
