    Spatial Analysis of Regional Income Inequality in Eu Countries
    (Taylor & Francis, 2024) Niknam Khajepasha, Alireza; Gkartzios, Menelaos
    This article analyses regional convergence and the diminishing regional disparities within the EU27 from 2000 to 2019. It assesses the impact of income fluctuations on regional inequality by employing secondary analysis of income per capita indicators across NUTS 3 level regions. The article provides a quantitative assessment of regional income inequality, encompassing the most prevalent instruments used in the analysis of inequality data. In particular, it determines EU regional disparities using constructed Theil, Gini and CV indices exposing a more comprehensive evaluation of regional disparities within the EU. It also examines the nexus between spatial effects on regional income inequality. The findings suggest that EU convergence persists at the NUTS 3 level, albeit at a decelerating pace. We also point to the role of clustering effects among neighbouring regions. Notably, the study highlights the diminishing role of regional clustering due to income inequality during the ongoing convergence process.

    Groundwater in Local Development Strategies: Case of Izmir
    (IWA Publishing, 2018) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Yazdani, Hamidreza; Baba, Alper
    This study takes into account groundwater in local development strategies of Izmir, in which rapid and uneven development has occurred in recent decades. Therefore, resilience thinking is needed in the future development of the city-region. To this end, the paper aims to make an analysis of recently completed asset-based local development strategies for Izmir city towards water resiliency. The methodology has two main steps. Firstly, by using spatial interaction analysis of peninsula and river basins, potential vulnerabilities and risks are indicated. Secondly, a stratified model of strategy evaluation is conducted by scrutinizing the existing layered approaches. Then, these models were applied to all strategic decisions including water resources and indicated a high level of consistency to achieve sustainable and resilient use of blue-green infrastructure in the future of Izmir’s metropolitan area. Local assets, including water resources, are the backbone of future development of the Izmir city-region. Therefore, usage of local assets in a multi-level perspective of strategy development needs to be understood. The stratified model denotes that special emphasis should be given to different river basins in different levels. This study illustrates that synergy management is needed between different layers of local development strategies, in which the role of urban and rural households is of the utmost importance.
