Spatial differences in sustainable development components in Nordic regions

Abstract

Geographical proximity, common historical roots and collaboration within the Nordic Council make the Nordic countries, often wrongly treated as monoliths. How ever, in reality, Nordic regions differ in terms of broadly defined socio - economic development. The aim of this study is to analyze the spatial differences in sustainable development components in Nordic NUTS - 3 regions in the period 2006 - 2014. Each sustain ability dimension is measured using Pietrzak’s spatial taxonomy measure of development. Analyzed problem seems to be important since Nordic countries are currently implementing the Fourth Nordic Strategies for Sustainable Development. The analysis showed t hat the achievement of sustainable development goals manage much better in the Swedish and Norwegian regions. The analysis showed as well that the Nordic countries are not as homogeneous as it might seem at first glance
