Introduction
Detailed description of objectives:
Main issues of the 1st and 2nd period of searching will be the following issues:
- the development of knowledge based society as the determining factor of spatial development
- spatial quality as the determining factor of the knowledge based society development
- the knowledge based society development and spatial relevant policies – synergic effects
The goal is the analysis of implications of the policies with spatial impacts, reality and opportunities how to meet the synergic effects of their joint influence in positive and negative direction, with the emphasis on the context of complex spatial development
· Regional policy in the SR and its spatial implications
The goal is the analysis of new orientation of the regional policy in the context of new aims that are defined by the policy of territorial cohesion
· Subsidiarity and territorial sovereignty as the instruments for safeguarding spatial identity
The goal is defining and new interpretations of the terms subsidiarity and territorial sovereignty as the instrument for safeguarding spatial identity
· Territorial cohesion as a new quality of European settlement system
The goal is the clarification of the impacts of the territorial cohesion policy on forming the new quality of settlement structure in the SR and EU
The 3rd and 4th period of searching will be devoted to the issues related to the statement of substantial-theoretical and process oriented issues.
· Social and economic dimension of spatial development
The goal is defining social and economic dimension of the knowledge based society development
· Spatial disparities and spatial development
The goal is clarification of new comprehension of spatial disparities in the context of the knowledge based society development
· Process prerequisites of the knowledge based society development
The goal is clarification of the prerequisites of the knowledge based society development in the field of planning and managerial processes, with the emphasis on regulation of the settlement structure development
· Structural prerequisites of the knowledge based society development
The goal is clarification of the prerequisites of the knowledge based society development in the field of spatial structures, with the emphasis on settlement structures
· Managerial instruments of the knowledge based society development
The goal is the analysis of existing instruments for regulation of spatial development, with the emphasis on formal and informal instruments
