The possibilities of spatial overview of the results for implemented projects within the cross-border program by using GIS technology

The implementation of projects funded by the European Union has opened up many possibilities for the development of existing potentials on a local, regional, and national level, as well as on those naturally developed areas – cross- border areas. The development of local and regional areas with regard to the overall national economy demands a different approach and should be addressed with proper, more tailor-made actions. Therefore, a clearer understanding of possible allocations of all types of resources has become one of the key issues in this matter. Although the implementation of projects affects the resources of an area and can, in theory, contribute to the reduction of social and economic inequalities and balance the development of regions, it is necessary to assess the justification of the investments, the relevance of the implemented projects and their scope in each individual border area involved, so that all of its characteristics could be apprehended and observed in the context of the achieved results and possible missed opportunities. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and their contribution to decision making on NUTS III level in the cross-border area, as well as the possibilities they could create in the resources management of an area in the period of sustainability of project results created in the seven years of cross border cooperation Hungary-Croatia 2007-2013 programme as an example.
