Development Scenarios of the East-West Transport Corridor in the Barents Euro-Arctic Region
The Barents Region is geographically unique, sparsely populated, rich in natural resources, and located far from the main global markets. Transportation, accessibility, and the geographical location of the area were always crucial factors in the area's competitiveness. Transport links economic...

The Barents Region is geographically unique, sparsely populated, rich in natural resources, and located far from the main global markets. Transportation, accessibility, and the geographical location of the area were always crucial factors in the area's competitiveness. Transport links economic activities and gives access to resources, markets, and labour. The aim of the research is to establish links between the past, present, and alternative future scenarios in order to provide a holistic picture of the development of the east-west transport corridor. This research focuses on the concept of foresight, which is closely related to strategic planning and development. Foresight is a narrower field of future research that applies futures research techniques to shaping strategies primarily. The research approach is based on a qualitative method. Specific materials such as studies, documents, events, and observations were examined. Research was conducted using secondary data. The data were originally collected and published for two international projects: Northern Axis-Barents Link (NABL) and Barents Region Transport and Logistics (BRTL).
