Applied research promoting an integrated approach to place and economic development underlies the various place research projects in which NIBR is involved on this research front. These studies explore issues related to local place identity, reputation and image as well. Efforts are directed at developing methodologies and refining analytical tools.
NIBR's commissions for local and regional authorities frequently touch on one or more of the main modules of place research:
- Place identiy and image building
- Process analysis of place development
- Habitation, migration and sense of belonging
- Place and economic development
- Place as physical environment
