Tools for methodological support

The document is produced within the frame of Work Package 4, which is aimed at providing a consistent evaluation of the development of the work in the case studies conducted in four different EU regions. It furthermore aims to provide templates permitting maximum flexibility to add, modify, contemplate, and rearrange the different factors of each thread according to their appearance in the case studies. The scope of the methodological support is limited to the first stage of the project, where findings on threat, hazard and risk perceptions, key actors, and ethical considerations are yielded. Insight is provided on how national concepts aggregate at the level of European regions, as quantitative assessment of concepts of security, is carried out.
