“…Improvements to public services and infrastructure are a driving factor in rural development and restructuring (Bournaris et al, 2014;Li et al, 2015). Shen et al (2012) hold that good public services are essential for effective use of resources and for strengthening cooperation in rural regions, whilst Yu et al (2014) found that a developed transport network contributes to accelerating agricultural modernization in rural areas.…”

“…Examples are the multicriteria model for the assessment of rural development plans in Greece [13], the model for rural households to measure the effects of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in three Southern European countries [14], and similar examples are the work of Xu et al [15], Valiakos and Siskos [16] and Prišenk et al [17]. The use of multicriteria models for ranking regions is also very common in the literature [18,19].…”

Abstract:The aim of the paper is to rank the agro-energy regions according to their potentials of biomass production in the Region of Central Macedonia (RCM). For this reason, a model of Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCDA) is developed with the ELimination and Et Choix Traduisant la REalite (ELECTRE) III method, with the construction of outranking relations. The aim is to compare in a comprehensive way each pair of action, in our case the agro-energy regions of the RCM, in order to satisfy the main goal which is to rank the seven regions as regards their biomass production. The final goal is to select the optimal crop plan as a pilot case for biomass production in the region. In the case of ELECTRE III multicriteria model, we used several conflicting criteria such as the farm income, the biomass production from crop residues, the variable costs, and the production of thermal energy and electrical energy. Alongside a technical and economic analysis of the study area is conducted for the existent crop plans of each agro-energy region. The results show that agro-energy regions with cereals and arable crops have better results than regions with fruit trees and other crops.

“…However, the determination of the demand and the regionalization and operationalization of sustainability and spatial development targets from stakeholder strategies at supranational and national governance levels, for example, due to moving policy targets [12] involve many challenges. The assessment of the impacts of future-oriented land use strategies on regional SD therefore requires both the scientific estimation of the anticipated effects on ecological, economic and social aspects in a research region [13,14] and the contextualization of these effects in a normative, societal frame. Consequently, for a policy-and decision-relevant SIA of land use scenarios, it is necessary to identify topics that are compatible with societal discourses [8].…”

Despite scientific progress in operationalizing sustainable development (SD), it is still hampered by methodological challenges at the regional level. We developed a framework to analyse stakeholder based, SD targets for future land use, which are characterized by different impact levels and spatial references. The framework allows for the analysis of land use demands in the context of SD. We identified societal use targets in north-eastern Germany, particularly for the area type's lowland fens and irrigation fields, represented through strategy documents. We used frame analysis to aggregate and condense the targets into land use claims. Results present a framework for the ex-ante Sustainability Impact Assessment of land use changes at the regional level and the determination and regionalization of the future societal demand for land use functions. For future land use at the regional level, manifold land use claims exist, but on smaller scales, area-specific targets are less apparent. Six key main-use claims and 44 side-use claims were identified at the regional level and for area types. Possible trade-offs among land use claims for land use functions can be identified at each governance level. Implications of the methodological OPEN ACCESSLand 2015, 4 779 approach are discussed according to moving development targets and SD as multi-sector and multi-level governance issues.
