# Regional attractiveness of Polirural Pilot Regions based on system Dynamics models

### SDM – DIH integration bridge

This page provides some showcase ideas about visualization of SDM model outputs in various points in time. SDM is a System Dynamics Model developed as a part of the Polirural project. DIH is a Digital Innovation Hub developed as another part of the Polirural project. Regional attractiveness is one of the tools present in the DIH.

### About System Dynamics Modelling

The SDM tool can be used to simulate the impacts of different policy approaches on various KPIs in the PoliRural pilot regions through 2040. The outputs of this tool are highly interesting and relevant for decision-making and planning activities.

### About Regional Attractiveness

Attractiveness can be seen from the perspective of a farmer, a young man or woman, a businessman or a sociologist. As there is no singular perception of attractiveness, there cannot be a singular value representing it. In the Index of regional attractiveness, we emphasize the attractiveness of a region as a compound and relative value. Based on available statistical data about a region, each region is then assessed by several factors. In this showcase we differentiate social, anthropic, natural and economic factor.
