Cet Atlas offre une vision exhaustive de l’activité économique du royaume, d’Ostende à Arlon, de Maaseik à Mouscron. L'économie du pays est illustrée en 180 cartes commentées et complétées de 62 tableaux mentionnant les principales communes et les principales firmes dans les différents secteurs d'activité.
La première partie de l'Atlas, basée sur les statistiques de valeur ajoutée, est homogène et permet donc la comparaison de 24 branches d'activité, au niveau des 589 communes. La distribution de la valeur ajoutée est décrite selon les chiffres les plus récents (1992) et dans son évolution au cours des quinze dernières années. Une deuxième partie présente plusieurs planches de synthèse permettant une visualisation originale et plus globale de l'économie belge, entre autres grâce à un redécoupage de la Belgique en zones économiquement homogènes. L'ensemble est complété par une présentation d'autres volets de l'économie, comme les comportements régionaux face au commerce extérieur, les centres de coordination, les aires d'action des organismes d'aide économique, les réseaux de transport.
De Economische Atlas van België bevat een schat aan informatie en is de bron bij uitstek voor de economische aardrijkskunde, markststudies en regionale politiek. Het geeft een gedetailleerde visie op de economische aktiviteit van het rijk, van Oostende tot Arlen, van Maaseik tot Moekroen. De Belgische economie wordt geïllustreerd door middel van 180 kaarten en 62 tabellen, met een overzicht van de belangrijkste gemeenten en ondernemingen in de verschillende economische sectoren.
Het eerste deel van de Atlas, gebaseerd op statistieken van toegevoegde waarde, is homogeen en laat dus de onderlinge vergelijking toe van 24 sectoren op het niveau van de 589 Belgische gemeenten. De ruimtelijke verdeling van de toegevoegde waarde wordt beschreven aan de hand van de meest recente gegevens (1992) en ook de evolutie ervan gedurende de laatste vijftien jaar wordt geschetst. Een tweede deel bevat verscheidene synthesekaarten welke een originele en globale visie op de Belgische economie geven. Dit gebeurt onder andere door een herindeling van België in economisch homogene gebieden. Het geheel wordt vervolledigd door een voorstelling van andere economische luiken, zoals de regionale gedragingen ten aanzien van de buitenlandse handel, de coordinatiecentra, de aktieterreinen van de instellingen die instaan voor economische steun, de transportinfrastruktuur.
The Economic Atlas of Belgium is an outstanding source of information and of reflection in the field of economical geography, market research and regional policy. It gives an exhaustive vision of the economic activity of the Kingdom, from Ostend to Arlon, from Maaseik to Mouscron. The economic life of the country is illustrated by 180 maps with comments and completed with 62 tables mentioning the major communes and firms in the various activity sectors.
The first part of the Atlas, based on added value statistics, is homogeneous and allows therefore the comparison of 24 activity branches and this for 589 communes. The added value distribution is described with the most recent figures (1992) and in its evolution during the last fifteen years. The second part presents synthetic plates enabling an original and more global view of Belgian economy, thanks to another cut-out of Belgium based on economically homogeneous zones. The whole is completed with other aspects of the economy, a. o. regional behaviour facing foreign trade, coordination centres, operation areas of economic assistance organisations, transport networks.
