===== Document analysis methodology =====

The analysis of spatial development documents produced a total of 182 different transnational needs. Most of these individual needs contain a detailed description of 
  * the transnational dimension, 
  * the added value that can be expected from respective improvements and 
  * obstacles that currently impede a transnational spatial development.

To be able to carry out a quantitative analysis of this data collection, we carried out two steps:
  * Step 1: We indexed each individual entry with an individual keyword
  * Step 2: We summarised related keywords to a keyword category.

As an example this stepwise approach looks like:

**Original text reference in the spatial planning document, e.g. regarding the transnational dimension:**
Is a declination of the Community strategic guidelines for rural development (programming period 2007 to 2013) (2006/144/EC): “improving governance and mobilising the endogenous development potential of rural areas”

**Individual key word applied:** 
Rural areas' engodeneous development potential

**keyword category applied:** 
Rural development
