RR-standard

Regional Development Standard (RR-standard) is a unique methodological approach for diagnosing the current state of local and regional self-government units, and setting-up the methodological framework for managing local and regional development.

RR-standard is protected electronic database developed by the MICRO projekt, member of MICRO grupa. As electronic database, RR-standard is available to users solely through Internet platforms e-municipality (link to entry www.e-opcina.eu), e-city (link to entry www.e-grad.eu) and e-county ( link to entry www.e-zupanija.eu).

Implementation of RR-standard is based on diagnosis of the current state of the local and regional self-government units, i.e. on diagnostic status of the key factors relevant for development of the local and regional areas and for improvement of population's quality of life. By implementing RR-standard data from the following areas are being collected and analyzed: Organization and structure, Financial-investment-development features, Geographical features, Historical features and Demographical features. Apart from the above categories, for each local and regional self-government unit through RR-standard general information about the municipality and town, i.e. about the County are being collected.

Implementation of RR-standard enables decision makers on local, regional and national level to have an analytical consideration of development capacities and definition of development priorities. Given that the collection of data throughout RR-standard requires systematic and consistent forms, decision makers are enabled to compare and analyze interrelated and comparable local and regional self-government units, and to draft various reports depending on a combination of collected data.

In addition to consideration of the current state of local and regional areas throughout collecting data from the previous and current periods, RR-standard includes projections on certain categories and thus creates a framework for assessment of potentials and future development opportunities. Throughout combining historical data, current state and projection of future values, RR-standard provides a unique perception of development capacities of local and regional areas.
