([[:wiki:moreco|MORECO]], [[:wiki:access|ACCESS]]; focus on commercial sites and intermunicipal cooperation: [[:wiki:comunis|COMUNIS]], [[:wiki:innocite|InnoCité]])

In [[:wiki:moreco|MORECO]] and [[:wiki:access|ACCESS]] regional analyses have been carried out to provide general information on settlement structure, transportation and demography in the pilot regions: - Regional analysis on pilot areas and their status quo with regard to connectivity, transportation, settlement structure, service supply and demography ([[:wiki:access|ACCESS]]). - SWOT analyses show strengths and weaknesses of demography, settlement structure, infrastructure and transport in the pilot regions ([[:wiki:moreco|MORECO]]). - Regional analysis is moreover described as a tool in order to make the instrument transferable ([[:wiki:moreco|MORECO]]).

In searching synergies among projects [[:wiki:comunis|COMUNIS]] and [[:wiki:innocite|InnoCité]] the regional analysis with the focus on commercial sites and intermunicipal cooperation ([[:wiki:comunis|COMUNIS]]) could be adequately used in SMESTOs (small and medium sized towns) as well, taking in mind that the concept of SMESTOs relates to SMESTO-MEGA relationship, which could include both – intermunicipal cooperation and bearing in mind the weakening of services in SMESTOs, common planning of commercial sites could be an answer to ever growing influences of MEGA. In particular, [[:wiki:comunis|COMUNIS]] provides a very structured recipe for analysing this context, containing main development issues, like availability of land, image and [[:wiki:Perception of Ecosystem Services|perception ]]of the region, framework conditions for business, transportation, and provides analytical tools for analysing the situation i.e. [[http://www.comunis.eu/downloads/Comunis_Analysis_Tool_Balanced_Scorecard_Description.pdf/view|Balanced Score Card (BSC)]]. In addition, [[:wiki:comunis|COMUNIS]] proposes concrete plan of action and provides examples of implementations in their pilot areas. Joining the [[:wiki:comunis|COMUNIS]] approach and analytical perspective of InnoCité ([[http://www.alpine-space.eu/uploads/tx_txrunningprojects/InnociteGuideLines-VOL1-Final-EN.pdf|InnoCité approach, volume 1]]) could represent useful tool also for analysing the problems of SMESTOs, addressed in the [[:wiki:innocite|InnoCité]]. In analytical terms BSC could be combined with a [[http://www.alpine-space.eu/uploads/tx_txrunningprojects/InnoCite_Diagnosis_Tool.pdf|InnoCité diagnosis tool]], which is a form, helping SMESTOs to make the first diagnostical step in evaluation of SMESTO performance comparing to metropolis that influences its development. At the same time the form provides a framework for comparison between SMESTOs. In this regard SMESTO-MEGA comparison could be adapted to intermunicipal comparison, being a first step in further discussion on a common commercial site development.
