Territorial Analysis: Potential Spatial Development Impacts and Network Effects

1. Territorial Analysis:Potential Spatial Development Impacts and Network Effects • KEY INDICATORS: • Spatial Impact: 361 equivalent hours*Km2 • Protected Areas Impact: Negligible • Impact on population: 3.425 equivalent hours*inhabitant • Changes in accessibility to European Nuts III Capitals: Negligible • Network effects: Low • Potential international traffic flows : Low

2. Index • 1 Location • 1.1 European Location • 1.2 National Location • 2 Project Area of Influence • 2.1 Area of direct influence of the project • 2.2 Cities potentially affected • 2.3 Protected areas potentially affected • 3 Accessibility to European Transport Networks (ICON) • 3.1 Accessibility to motorways (Without project) • 3.2 Accessibility to motorways (With project) • 3.3 Accessibility to multimodal networks (Without project) • 3.3 Accessibility to multimodal networks (With project) • 4 Potential Spatial Development Impacts • 4.1 Spatial Impact (Increases on Access to Motorways) • 4.2 Spatial Impact (Increases on Access to Networks) • 4.1 Impact on Protected Areas • 4.2 Impact on Population • 5 European Network Effects • 5.1 Accessibility to European NUTSIII Capitals (CON(T)) • 5.2 Potential international traffic flows (KTEN)

3. 1.1 European locationThe project provides “Access to TERN” to the Spanish provinces of León, Palencia and Burgos,to two main Iberian corridors “Ruta de la Plata” (Gijón-Sevilla), E80 (Burgos-Aveiro)

4. 1.2 National locationThe project is 30 km from Villanueva de Argaño to Osorno. Affected provinces (NUTSIII): León, Palencia and Burgos. Population: 1064147 inhabitants, Area: 37.974 km2

5. 2.1 Area of direct influence of the projectThe surface at less than 30’ from project motorway entrancesPopulation: 17.946 inhabitants, Area:1.006 km2

6. 2.2. Cities potentially affectedThe municipalities at less than 30’ from project motorway entrancesPopulation:17.946 inhabitants, Area: 1006 km2

7. 2.3 Protected areas potentially affectedThe surface at less than 30’ from project motorway entrancesArea: 0 km2

8. 3.1 Accessibility to Motorways (without project) ICON RoadSurface at less than 30 minutes: 3.392 Km2

9. 3.2 Accessibility to Motorways (with project)ICON RoadSurface at less than 30 minutes: 4.292 Km2 : Increase of 900 km2

10. 3.3 Accessibility to Multimodal Networks (without project)

11. 3.4 Accessibility to Multimodal Networks (with project)

12. 4.1 Spatial Impact (Improvement on Access to Motorways)Saving of 646 weighted hours*Km2

13. 4.2 Spatial Impact (Increases on Access to Multimodal Networks)Saving of 361 equivalent hours*Km2

14. 4.3 Impact on protected areasSavings of 0 hours*Km2 in the interior of protected areas

15. 4.4 Impact on Population Savings of 3425 equivalent hours*inhabitant

16. 5.1 Accessibility to European NUTSIII CapitalsCON (T): Changes in the population reached at less 3:00 hours from EU NUTS III Case-study: Area reached from Burgos With and Without project

17. 5.1 Accessibility to European NUTSIII CapitalsCON (T): Changes in the population reached at less 3:00 hours from EU NUTS III

18. 5.2 Network EffectsAssignment of an uniform trip matrix at NUTS II Only 3 shortest paths between NUTSII Capitals use the project in the considered network with main corridors. In a more detailed NUTSIII analysis, it would be expected a significant contribution of the project accessing Galicia to/from the rest of Europe

19. 5.3 Potential TransEuropean Influence (KTEN)Assignment of KTEN matrix at NUTS II (based on STREAMS matrix)
