Description:
The emphasis is currently put on effectiveness of regional economies. The achievement of sustainable development is conditioned by not only economic effectiveness but also by achieving sufficient level of economic resilience. The novelty of the project lies in designing a conceptual framework about regional economic resilience management and regional development as a tool for public administration. The framework will be based on an evolutionary approach to regional economic resilience, since a narrower interpretation has been used mainly with focus on shorterm reaction of regions on shock events. Basic questions of the project are: how does the process of achieving regional economic resilience work, whether it is possible to trace down mutual patterns of socio-economic structure of resilient regions and which determinants are responsible for successful linking between resilient regional economy adaptation and adaptability leading to long-term regional development. Designing complex adaptive systems with use of multiagent systems will be used alongside literature study and quantitative research methods in order to have valid answers to these questions. Contemporary approaches to the study of these phenomena often fail because they are mostly based on the approaches abstracted from spatial linkages and do not take into account the complexity of mentioned factors. The project therefore focuses on the application of the methods of Evolutionary Economic Geography and Complexity Theory. It evaluates the barrier of achieving the resilience and quality of life in cities and regions on one side and it identifies and evaluates the effects resulting from the implementation of Smart Cities and Smart Regions tools on the other side. This would be useful for ensuring the desired trajectory of urban and regional development. The outputs of the project are potentially exploitable for management of cities and regions and at the same time the results of the project may constitute a preliminary research for the design of projects seeking financial support from some of grant agencies. The aim of the project is design of a conceptual framework for regional economic resilience management and regional development as a tool for public administration. The framework will include set of recommendations and decision trees. The sub-aim is composition of multiagent system design for answering research questions.
