“…Generally, the influence of the three spatial factors needs to be considered in planning territorial impacts for CP interventions.Secondly, the empirical findings are relevant for the debate about the relationship between two spatial objectives -territorial competitiveness and territorial balanced development (see, e.g.,Vanolo, 2010;Colomb and Santinha, 2014). The constructed TIA models suggest that CP interventions work in either direction, depending on their thematic orientation (see, e.g.,Klímová and Žítek, 2015;Hájek and Górska-Szymczak, 2017;Kaufmann and Wagner, 2005;Severová, Chromý, Sekerka and Soukup, 2012 for relatively low impact innovation-oriented interventions in lagging regions). Therefore, the combined effects of CP interventions can undermine their overall contribution to balanced territorial development (see alsoNovosák, Hájek, Horváth and Nekolová, 2017 for this conclusion).…”
