2 1. Introduction 1. Defining rural areas: o EU rural areas are going through major transformations: need for specific and clear definitions o In spite of their importance, geographical issues have largely been ignored in defining rural areas (Copus, 1996; Ballas et al., 2003; Bollman et al., 2005; Vidal et al., 2005; Copus et al., 2008). o A geographical analysis could help policymakers in better framing EU policies. The second pillar of the CAP (EAFRD) is supposed to support rural areas in facing new challenges (Sotte, 2009; Esposti, 2011). 2. Analysis of RDP expenditures spatial allocation (ex-post allocation) o Analysis is performed at the local level (i.e., the NUTS 3 level) according to the national/eu decision-making process (top-down approach) o Analysis of the real capacity of local areas in better using RDP funds (bottom-up approach) 3 Parma, June 6 th, Defining rurality at the EU level (I) The role of density in assessing rurality No homogeneous definition of rural areas at the EU level (Montresor, 2002). Definitions from OECD (1994; 1996; 2006) and Eurostat (2010) are the most widely used: both are based on density. However, dichotomised urban-rural typologies are largely outdated (Sotte et al., 2012). Multi-dimensional approaches to define rurality The FAO-OECD Report (2007) and The Wye Group (2007) suggest multidimensional approaches in defining rural areas. A collection of quantitative analysis on definitions of rural areas is provided by Copus et al. (2008). 4 Parma, June 6 th, 2013
3 2. Defining rurality at the EU level (II) Geographical approaches to compute peripherurality The work is aimed at providing new insights on the EU rural areas by linking together socio-economic indicators with geographical ones. Three main thematic areas are considered: 1.Economic indicators and role of agriculture (sector-based approach); 2.Land use and landscape features, e.g., share of agricultural areas or forests on the total surface compared to share of artificial areas (territorial approach); 3.Accessibility / remoteness, according to different territorial scales, e.g. EU level, national level, sub-national level (geographical approach) By linking together these perspectives a comprehensive Peripherurality Index can be computed. 5 Parma, June 6 th, Dataset (I) The dataset: variables and statistical sources Source: personal elaboration 6 Parma, June 6 th, 2013
4 3. Dataset (II) Geographical coverage Data are collected at the NUTS 3 level (NUTS 2006 Classification, Commission Regulation (EC) No 105/2007) 1,288 observations out of 1,303 NUTS 3 regions in the EU-27. Drawbacks NUTS 3 level allows to properly analyse EU rural areas. However, EU policies are mainly implemented at the NUTS 0 and 2 level. Many missing values: they are replaced with data at the regional / national level (e.g., unemployment rate; per capita GDP; average farm size; average SGM). Some variables may suffer from the existence of a Country effect. It may alter both the PCA and the CA. Time coverage Last available figures refer to years 2007 to Parma, June 6 th, Methodology: defining peripherurality (I) 1. Summing up rural areas features: Principal Component Analysis PCA is a variable reduction technique that maximizes the amount of variance accounted for in the observed variables by a smaller group of variables (Hotelling, 1933; Pearson; 1901). Principal components (PCs) are linear combinations of the original variables. Each observation can be assigned a score on a standardized scale. 2. Computing the Peripherurality Index From the PCs, a comprehensive Peripherurality Index is computed: euclidean distance from an ideal urban benchmark (the average value for the two EU global MEGAs: Paris and London). 2 PR index i = ( x ) p ip xubp where: -X ip represents the score of the i-th NUTS 3 region in the p-th component; -X ubp represents the score of the urban benchmark in the p-th component. 8 Parma, June 6 th, 2013
5 4. Methodology: defining peripherurality (II) 3. Identifying rural typologies: cluster analysis Unsupervised learning approach (Tryon, 1939; Johnson, 1967). According to a distance matrix on p measurable characteristics, objects are grouped in such a way that those in the same group are more similar to each others than to those belonging to other clusters. Two approaches (Kaufmann and Rousseeuw, 1990; MacQueen, 1967): o Hierarchical approaches recreate a whole hierarchy of clusters (agglomerative vs. divisive clustering). Graphical output: dendrogram; o Partitioning approaches (K-means and k-medoids clustering) create k nonoverlapping clusters, through iterative algorithms. 9 Parma, June 6 th, Main results: PCA PCs extraction Five PCs are extracted according accounting for 67% of the total variance 10 Parma, June 6 th, 2013
6 5. Main results: The Peripherurality Index According to the 5 PCs, the PR Index is computed moving from the Urban benchmark (London and Paris). The greater the index, the more rural and/or peripheral the region. Highest values: Mediterranean regions, new MSs, Northern Scandinavia Source: own elaboration (software R) (EuroGeographics for administrative boundaries) 11 Parma, June 6 th, Main results: Cluster analysis (I) Algorithm for cluster analysis A hierarchical cluster analysis is performed according to the 5 PCs o Euclidean distance o AGNES-algorithm (AGGlomerative NESting) + Ward s method (Lance and Williams, 1966; Ward, 1963). o No standardization is applied. Seven clusters are identified. Defining typologies: cluster centres according to the 5 PCs 12 Parma, June 6 th, 2013 Economic / geographical centrality Demogr. shrinking / ageing Manufacturing in rural areas Land Use: forests vs. agric. areas Urban dispersion Peripheries Green lungs Cities Remote regions Agricultural districts Shrinking regions Industrial core
7 5. Main results: Cluster analysis (II) The territorial distribution of the clusters 13 Parma, June 6 th, 2013 Source: own elaboration 5. Main results: the spatial allocation of the RDP expenditures (I) Allocation of the total expenditures from EAFRD for years 2007 to 2009 is considered (Source: European Commission). Data have been collected at the NUTS 3 level (same level of territorial disaggregation). Three specific indexes of expenditures intensity are computed (source: Eurostat Farm Structure Survey / Eurostat National Accounts): RDP expenditure ( ) per unit of utilized agricultural area (UAA in ha); RDP expenditure ( ) per unit of agricultural labour work (annual work unit, AWU); RDP expenditure ( ) per unit of agricultural gross value added (Agricultural GVA, in.000 ). 14 Parma, June 6 th, 2013

Main results: the spatial allocation of the RDP expenditures (IV) Pearson correlation coefficients: RDP expenditures and indicators of remoteness / rurality Exp. per UAA Exp. per AWU Exp. per Agri GVA Density (0.245) (0.001) (0.760) PC1 - Economic and geographical centrality (0.325) (1.85e-06) (2.5e-05) PR Index (0.032) (0.009) (0.001) 17 Parma, June 6 th, Conclusions This analysis sheds new light on rural/peripheral areas across Europe Multi-dimensional approach in defining rural areas: through the Peripherurality Index, a more complex geography at the EU scale emerges The RDP seems to be not so green as it was supposed to be: urban/central regions show a greater capacity in spending RDP funds, although results vary according to the different measurements of rurality According to these results, an empirical/econometrical analysis could help in defining the main economic drivers affecting such a spatial allocation Next steps: testing the causal relationships in the spatial allocation of RDP expenditures at the EU level! 18 Parma, June 6 th, 2013
