Local Cross-Sectoral Operational Plan - Zakarpattia Region, Ukraine

An important objective of the SaveGREEN project was to elaborate a Cross-Sectoral Operational Plan for the pilot areas. The goal of the “CSOP” was to identify the major threats/pressures to connectivity and the general objectives to address them, as well as relevant sectors and main stakeholders/actors focusing on the pilot site. The two significant threats discussed for this pilot area are barrier effects and land-use changes in agricultural land. The barrier effect in the Zakarpattia region can be triggered by increasing traffic performance through, first of all, increasing speed on motor roads and railroads.
