Report of the spatial analysis results of the heterogeneous multidimensional determinants of EU citizens’ perception at the regional case study level

Deliverable D2.2 contains the description of the methodology and results of the spatial analysis that builds on quantitative methods proper of Multivariate Statistics Analysis (principal components analysis and cluster analysis) and uses the secondary data provided by EU institutes and institutions, and the primary data provided by the survey in WP1. The analysis will assess the heterogeneous multidimensional determinants of EU citizens’ perception at the regional case study level. The PCA will allow us to identify synthetic indicators of the determinants of citizens’ identification patterns in the different EU regions while the CA will identify similarities and differences among the EU regions, highlighting rural versus urban differences, and spatially constrained clusters of regions (North-South-Eastern and Central).
