FOREWORD The Commission awarded to CSIL, Centre for Industrial Studies, in partnership with Ramboll and supported by Significance and Tplan, a contract to carry out a study concerning the Ex post evaluation of major projects supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Cohesion Fund (CF) between 2000 and 2013. The objective of this ex post evaluation is to analyse the long term contribution of 10 projects in the transport sector implemented during the 2000-2006 or 2007-2013 programming periods in the European Union and co-financed by the ERDF or CF, to economic development as well as the quality of life and well-being of society. This is to contribute to the wider effort engaged by DG Regional Policy to undertake ex post evaluation of Cohesion Policy. The present Inception Report further details the proposals made in the Technical Offer, taking into account the first inputs from the Commission discussed during the kick-off meeting of the project (15 June 2017, Brussels). The Inception Report is organised as follows: after presenting the scope of the study and the preliminary analysis of project dossiers performed on the 30 projects proposed in the ToRs, the report focuses on the methodological fine-tuning of some activities with respect to the proposal. Finally, a concluding section deals with the revised work plan and resource allocation. Annexes comprise: A table providing key feature of the 30 projects; A revised list of references for the conceptual model; Revised and commented project summary sheet templates; Illustrative project summary sheets. 3 Ex post evaluation of major projects supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Cohesion Fund between 2000 and 2013 2. SCOPE OF THE STUDY: PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF PROJECTS DOSSIER The core of this ex-post evaluation is the in-depth investigation of 10 major projects in the transport sector to understand and discuss their long term contribution to economic development as well as the quality of life and well-being of society. The 10 projects for case studies will be selected from a sample of 30 projects indicated in the ToR. This sample was selected by the Commission in order to include projects: implemented in EU Member States investing the most of Cohesion Policy resources both in absolute and/or in relative terms in a given (sub-) area1 in comparison to their Cohesion Policy allocation. reflecting the financial allocation among the sub-sectors; which have been operational for at least 5 years by time the evaluation was launched and have not been covered by case studies in other evaluations done by DG REGIO; concentrated on 2007-13 to ensure that most recent examples are taken into account. Figure 1. Scope of the study: 30 selected Major Projects in the transport sector a) A geographical and sectoral overview 1 Applicable to policy areas like transport or environment, which can be further down divided for sub-areas such as road, railway, urban transport or water, waste water management and solid waste management.

The analysis of changes in the development of flood Spatial development hazard areas was conducted by means of the Corine Land Cover database. The results of the analysis were later Poland used to evaluate potential economic losses on flood plains, and then spatiotemporal analysis was applied to identify areas with clusters of high and low loss values and the trends regarding their transformations. In consequence, the identification of municipality (Polish: gmina) clusters allowed us to verify the dependence of such transformations on those factors that could impact their intensity. For that purpose, we analysed the coverage of local spatial development plans for individual clusters. On the basis of the conducted studies, we concluded that the implemented legal solutions are not entirely effective, which has also been stated by the legislator.

  • Probabilistic Approach of the Upper and Middle Odra Basin Daily Rainfall Modeling

Dąbek3, and Bartosz Kaźmierczak2 1Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – National Research Institute, 01-673 Warsaw, Podlesna Street 61, Poland 2Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Wybrzeze Wyspianskiego 27, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland 3Institute of Environmental Protection and Development, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland pl. Grunwaldzki 24, 50-363 Wroclaw, Poland Abstract. The aim of this study was to obtain the maximum daily rainfall descriptions based on 9 probability distributions in 12 meteorological stations located in Upper and Middle Odra river basin. Analysis included long-term period from 1961 to 2010. Regarding to AIC and BIC informational criterions Gamma distribution that appeared to be best fitted probability distribution to measurement rainfall data series. For several stations, Pareto, Weibull and generalized exponential distributions were also possible to use. For practical purposes it is necessary to carry out a similar analysis for much shorter rainfall intervals. The final evaluation of the suitability of individual probability distributions for constructing maximum rainfall probabilistic models requires further research. 1 Introduction The reliability of urban drainage systems is not fully achievable due to the random nature of precipitation. However, it must be designed in the way that fulfill the contemporary standards of drainage, which is defined as the adaptation of the system to receive the maximum (predicted) storm water streams with a frequency of appearance equal to the acceptable (socially acceptable) frequency of spillage into the terrain [1].

  • Precipitation Extremes During Flooding in the Odra River Basin in May
    Vol. 2 Issue 1 June 2014 Precipitation extremes during flooding in the Odra River Basin in May-June 2010 Wiwiana Szalińska, Irena Otop, Tamara Tokarczyk Institute of Meteorology and Water Management, National Research Institute, Wrocław Branch, Parkowa Street 30, 51-616 Wrocław, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Flooding in East-Central Europe in May and June 2010 also affected the Odra River Basin. Unlike a typical summer flood scenario, in 2010 intensive precipitation was observed as early as May. Also, the location of the most intensive rainfall shifted to the catchments of the right bank tributaries of the Odra River. This paper presents the climatological assessment of the precipitation totals that caused two flood waves on the Odra River. The assessment was carried out with the use of selected indicators: monthly precipitation totals, daily precipitation totals, number of days exceeding given precipitation levels, number of days with precipitation of a given probability of exceedance and intensity, duration and accumulation of precipitation for a number of consecutive wet days. The reference values for climatological indicators were developed for the period 1966-2009. The values of the selected indicators were analyzed in terms of flood hazard in relation to the hazard gradation. The results show that the observed precipitation had the character of an extreme event with respect to its magnitude, duration and spatial extent. The catchments with recognized high levels of flood hazard were affected by the flood wave. The flood situation caused by the extreme precipitation was evaluated in the context of the largest floods in this region during recent decades.

It is estimated that iron smelting was introduced to this area with the emergence of the Przeworsk culture, circa the 2nd century BCE. Certain cultural and environmental requirements must have been met in order for this technology to spread to this area. Within the framework of interdisciplinary research, the archaeological context of an archaeological site as well as the natural archives were inves- tigated to explore the preconditions and to describe the beginning of early iron smelting in this region. Bog iron ore; early iron smelting; formation; human-environmental interactions; land- scape archaeology; pre-Roman Iron Age; Przeworsk culture. 1 Introduction The implementation of interdisciplinary research between the sciences and the human- ities in the context of a landscape archaeological project results in challenges for the researchers involved as well in mutual benefits.
