KARELIA AS A PILOT NERRITORY OF HL PROJECT
Karelia is a part of North-west federal district of Russian Federation. More than 700 km of Russia-EU(Finland) borderIs a part of European region «Karelia»
Area – 180,5 th. sq. m.Population – 703,1 th. people.Density of population – 3,9 person/m2.Labor recourses – 399,4 th. people.

PILOT TERROTORY CHOOSING KRITERIA
• Unclear strategic priorities of territory development and absent development strategy
• Low incomes of inhabitants• Geographic potential (transit, close to the border, other)• Poor and low economy• Absence of alternative employment for the inhabitants• Unfavorable demography and migration outflow• Degradation of agricultural lands and landscapes • Loss of cultural values
Project part-financed by the European Union

APPROVE OF THE CHOOSEN PILOT TERRITORIES
Most of the municipal districts in Karelia were viewed when choosing the pilot territories. The following territories were chosen according to the criteria:
Municipal district Settlement
Olonetch districtIl’insloe village settlement
Mihailovskoe village settlement
Sortavala district Helula city settlement
Lahdenpohia district Miinalskoe village settlement
The chosen pilot territories are approved by the Ministry of economical development, with the state committee of the RK for development of local self-government and local municipal administrations.

PRACTICAL USE OF THE PROJECT FOR THE PILOT TERRITORIES
• Preparation of the practical propositions aimed on stopping the decline
• Creation of the territory development strategy• Creation of propositions to grow the competitiveness of the
territories based on their unique features• Formation of the competitive brand of the territory• Preparation of the investment folio for the territories• Propositions on using the territory’s potentials• Organization of the dialog with the potential investors

CONTENT OF THE WORK ON THE PROJECT
1. Choosing and approval of the characteristical and potency indicators of the territories
2. Evaluation on the current social-economical situation and of the scale of decline of the territories:2.1. Evaluation of demography and migration2.2. Evaluation of economical potentials, level and quality of life2.3. Social sphere characteristics 2.4. Evaluation of social infrastructure development
3. Presence of the strategical documents of the territories and their link to the regional strategies and programs
4. Research of investment potential and investment projects within the pilot territories
5. Organization of the work meetings with the representatives of the territories to discuss the possible directions of development
6. Evaluation of territory potentials and possibilities of using them for stopping the decline
Project part-financed by the European Union

EVALUATION OF THE TERRITORY POTENTIALS
1. Transit potential and transport infrastructure development
Increase of the cargo and good flows, development of near road infrastructure and services
3. Natural-resource potentialDevelopment of processing productions based on the local resources
2. Touristic potentialAttracting the tourists, development of infrastructure and services
4. Agricultural potential Development of agriculture
5. Cultural potentialRebirth of cultural traditions as a basis for tourism development
6. Industrial and energetic potential
Development of energetic sector as a basis for starting of production
3. Labor potential Attracting the productions and development of services
Project part-financed by the European Union

EVALUATION OF TRANSIT POTENTIAL
• 7 active “simplified” border crossing points• 3 active international motor border crossing
points («Niirala – Vyartsikya», «Luttya – Vartius», «Souperya – Kortesalmi»)
Within the pilot territories there are 3 cross points: 1 – international, 2 – simplified

EVALUATION OF TRANSIT POTENTIAL
Transport zonesin Karelia:
1. Northern zone2. Southern zone
The pilot territories are in the Southern zone, the international transport routs lie on the territories, connecting saint-Petersburg, Petrozavodsk, inner regions of North-West Russia and border regions of Finland

EVALUATION OF TOURISTIC POTENTIAL
• Overall capacity for hosting tourists – about 980 places (persons). 300 places more are planed to be built in 2006-2007.
• It will allow to host more than 650 th. of tourists per year.
• The usage of this potential is only 14% (about 90 th. persons.).
• After developing new touristic products and marketing them Karelia can host more than 1 mln. tourists per year.

Olonetch district
Possibilities of development
• Using the pasture lands and complex processing and agricultural production
• Development of tourism and recreation• Revival and national crafts• Production of alternative fuel (dry peat, fuel granules, pellets of
the wood processing wastes)
Evaluation of decline (territory problems)
• Migration outflow (youngsters mainly)• Reduction of agricultural land• Growth of unemployment in villages• No alternative sphere of work• Degradation of cultural potential
• Agriculture (agricultural lands)• Historical and cultural potential• Oloniya – goose capital• Favorable conditions for trout farming

PROBLEMS FACED WHILE WORKING ON THE PROJECTS AND SOLUTION PROPOSITIONS
• Absence of or unaccessible data on the specific settlements and their potentials• Differences of EU and Russian statistic systems• Not understanding of the settlements profits from the project by local
administrations
Problems
• To coordinate the approach to decline districts within the project• To match the indicators to the accessible data• Strengthening the practical use of the projects results – determined investment
projects, search for investments (in Vorderlands)
