Future plans Sandro Cruciani | Directorate for territorial and environmental statistics | Istat Luisa Franconi | Directorate for territorial and environmental statistics | Istat Eurostat, Final meeting 28 June 2017
Issues to be addressed (1) • Encourage LMA delineation in other countries: • Istat is ready for further training • We plan to write manual, example to be developed • Study further the parameter selection issue (as we have seen in many presentation today) • Further develop the R package to improve: • usability, computer performance, other options • Fine tuning automatization • GIS output 2 Workshop LMAs, Roma 16 June 2017
Issues to be addressed (2) • Study ways to use small LMAs at the EU: • combine/regionalise • Consider higher geographical administrative level • Cross-border LMAs: • how to reconcile areas near borders with rest of MS • How much territory should we consider 3 Workshop LMAs, Roma 16 June 2017
Issues to be addressed (3) • Input data: • documentation of commuting matrices • New types of data: samples/admin/big data/integrated data • New types of jobs • Problem of capital city (too large! ), more in general the issue of the dimension of territorial input units (LAU2 as building blocks?) • Further develop dissemination tools to answer data needs of users 4 Workshop LMAs, Roma 16 June 2017
Issues to be addressed (4) • We need to produce statistics at LMA level: • The delineation of the partition is one side of the coin, the other side is data, statistics, indicators, etc. • This will be a decisive factor in the success of LMAs • Given the sub-regional nature of this partition either we use administrative data to support the production of statistics or we invest on small area estimation method • In both cases we need to invest in study the way in which indicators and statistics are defined and evaluated in order to foresee the dissemination of harmonised statistics: this includes register based statistics, other surveys/registers 5 Workshop LMAs, Roma 16 June 2017
One year ago: need of working together in a collaborative way based on transparency and open tools • Today: this way of work has produced valuable results • These encourage us to further work along this route 6 Workshop LMAs, Roma 16 June 2017
