The study will consists of 3 parts. The part 1 (common part for Novyi Rozdil and Yavoriv) will contain general overview and analysis of the current status of the industrial parks in Ukraine. The part will also outline forecast on the most probable scenarios for the development of the industrial parks in Lviv Oblast, risks with the industrial parks development (political, economic, legal etc.). Part 2. Perspectives of the industrial park in Yavoriv for the period of 10 years. The part should include description and analysis of the infrastructure (gas, electricity, roads, sewage, water supply and waste facilities), investment process and investment support institutions in Yavoriv Raion, priorities of the industrial policy of the oblast, analysis of the existing enterprises and level of business development in the area.

The study will provide analysis of the impact of the planned industrial parks on the existing and planned regional development, ecological and industrial strategies at local, raion, and oblast level. The study will assess impact of industrial parks, their relevance to and links with regional and national industrial policies. The study will analyze how industrial parks could impact existing and planned ecological strategies and programmes in Lviv oblast. It should outline possible scenarios and a roadmap for the safe disposal of chemical residues (hudrons) located in the close proximity to the planned industrial parks. Possible multiplicator effect for the adjacent post-industrial areas (accessibility, perspective of enterprise development, extension of the industrial parks) will be explored. The study will produce policy recommendations that will be discussed with relevant stakeholders during the stakeholder panel and local community of Novyi Rozdil during the public hearing. Outcomes of the panel should be incorporated into the study report. The study will be used to ensure industrial park sustainability through possible policy interventions, incl. extension of the industrial parks to adjacent areas, and to minimize environmental risks for the industrial parks.

The study will analyze one of the options for possible anchor industries to be located in the industrial parks identified by project partners. Possible anchor enterprises should provide synergy with the existing industrial activities in the region and, ideally, use waste from industrial processes, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the cross-border area. Ash produced by power stations in Dobrotvir (Lviv Oblast) and Burshyn (Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast) was identified as a possible input for processing in the industrial parks in Novyi Rozdil and Yavoriv. Waste product in Ukraine, stored in open-air heaps, ash is being actively used for industrial processing in Poland. The study will assess economic potential of ash heaps for use by enterprises in the industrial parks in Novyi Rozdil and Yavoriv. A round table discussion with relevant stakeholders should be organized, outputs from the discussion – incorporated to the study report.
