Territorial impact assessment has recently gained attention as a tool to improve the coherence of sector policies with territorial cohesion objectives. The paper presents a method for territorial impact assessment and the results of applying this method on Slovenian energy policy. A two phase approach first disaggregates the problem into a three-dimensional matrix, consisting of policy measures, territorial objectives and territorial units. The synthesis phase aggregates measures and objectives in physical, economic or socio-cultural groups and observes their interrelation through an input-output matrix. The results have shown that such a two level approach is required to obtain complete and useful information for policy developers. In contrast to the relatively favourable evaluation of individual measures on the first level of assessment, the synthesis has revealed substantial and systemic weaknesses: considerable imbalance of energy policy favouring territorial effectiveness and mainly neglecting territorial identity as well as its counterproductiveness in reducing regional disparities.
作为一种提高部门政策与区域凝聚力目标一致性的工具，区域影响评估最近受到了关注。本文介绍了一种区域影响评估方法以及将该方法应用于斯洛文尼亚能源政策的结果。一种两阶段方法首先将问题分解为一个三维矩阵，该矩阵由政策措施、区域目标和区域单元组成。综合阶段将措施和目标汇总为自然、经济或社会文化类别，并通过投入产出矩阵观察它们之间的相互关系。结果表明，需要这样一种两级方法来为政策制定者获取完整且有用的信息。与在第一级评估中对个别措施相对有利的评价形成对比的是，综合分析揭示了重大的系统性弱点：能源政策存在严重失衡，偏向区域有效性，主要忽视区域特性，并且在减少区域差距方面产生了适得其反的效果。
