Emerging trends in regional science

Abstract

Regional science has been evolving as a discipline since the 1950s. Whereas it has a distinctive focus and personality, it has not evolved in isolation. We recognize the early influences of economics and geography and other social and natural sciences. But we also recognize emerging trends that regional science can benefit from as it matures. In this paper we discuss emerging academic influences and critical research themes that have the ability to further shape regional science as a useful discipline for solving real-world problems.

On the Role and Assessment of Research at European Universities of Applied Sciences

“…Thus, contemporary, context-, and practice-based research demand an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach. The former extends beyond mere interdisciplinarity by its focus on dealing with real-world questions (Bailly & Gibson, 2017) and on integrating the full range of relevant stakeholders in the research process, namely, by including the socalled "affected" actors who are locally bound to the problem to be solved (Guimarães et al, 2019;Renn, 2021;Schikowitz, 2020). In fact, the combination of inter-and transdisciplinary scientific methodological competences as well as professional experience or background of UAS professors has been proven to be key in approaching complex societal challenges such as sustainable development (Ringel et al, 2018).…”

Бюджетная Самодостаточность Регионов Как Результат Взаимодействия Публичной Власти И Бизнес-Структур

“…Поэтому показатель бюджетной самодостаточности может быть использован в качестве количественного критерия устойчивого развития регионов . Это согласуется с результатами классификации регионов по уровню финансовой самодостаточности , а также с положением о том, что управление региональным развитием предполагает коллективное действие в регионе, что оно основывается на участии и сотрудничестве [Bailly, 2017]. В связи с этим взаимодействие публичной власти и бизнес-структур следует рассматривать как основу модели регионального роста.…”
