Social Progress Index in the context of regional development at the district level in the Košice region

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Composite indicators have recently gained substantial interest for assessing peo-ple&apos;s quality of life. While initial efforts have focused on the macro level of countries, lately these approaches have also been applied on more granular, local levels of administration. Among these approaches the Social Progress Index stands out as an applied policy tool with unique methodology and design principles. This paper documents the application of the Social Progress Index for the district level in the Kosice region. The Index was applied to the entire territory of the Kosice Region, which includes 11 districts and covers the period of six years 2015-2020. The indicators selected into the Index framework reflect the general principles of the SPI: they are non-economic (i.e. social or environmental), out-come-oriented, rele-vant to all units of observation (i.e. districts), and actionable. The results of the 2020 Kosice Social Progress Index reveal a varying degree of societal outcomes across the districts. The highest performing districts of the region are the municipalities of Kosice, where the Kosice I district achieves the highest overall performance and Kosice II records the lowest performance within the city. The districts of Gelnica and Trebisov achieve the lowest Index score in the region. All districts of the Kosice Region achieved an improve-ment in the Index over 2015-2020. The most significant change in SPI was in Kosice IV district, in contrast, Gelnica district recorded the lowest growth. By discussing the method-ology, challenges and top level results, the paper contributes to a greater understanding of the needs and challenges of regional development in the region of Kosice and to the ap-plication of composite indicators on local levels. The Index provides a basis for local and regional governments for planning and decision-making activities and for better public policies to reduce regional disparities and improve quality of life.
