Abstract

[ger] Gewunschtes Umfeld der Unternehmen i Die Industriebetriebe und die Betriebe, die Dienstleistungen - fur Unternehmen erbringen, der nordfranzôsischen Region Nord-Pas-de-Calais siedeln sich vorzugsweise in - der Peripherie einer GroBstadt an. Ausschlaggebend ist hierbei der Zugang zu den Verkehrsinfrastrukturen, . insbesondere den Autobahnen. Die Art der lokal vorherrschenden Tâtigkeiten und die Struktur der Arbeitskrâfte sind ebenfalls wichtige Kriterien: attraktiv* sind ein vorwiegend industrielles Umfeld und1 hochqualifizierte Arbeitskrâfte. - Die Pràferenzen der Unternehmen unterscheiden sich je nach Sektor. Beispielsweise iiben die GroBstàdte auf die Lebensmittelbetriebe keine Anziehungskraft auf, wàhrend sich die Betriebe, die Dienstleistungen fur Unternehmen erbringen, eher in den groBen stàdtischen Zentren niederlassen. . Trotz dieser Pràferenzen ziehen die Unternehmen jedoch - nur selten um; und wenn sie dies tun, dann hauptsachlich, um angemessenere Raumlichkeiten zu finden. ... [fre] L'environnement souhaité par les entreprises Les établissements industriels et de services aux entreprises du Nord-Pas-de-Calais expriment une nette préférence : pour une installation en périphérie d'une grande ville. L'accessibilité aux infrastructures de transport, notamment autoroutières, est souvent privilégiée. La nature des activités localement dominantes et la structure de la main-d'œuvre sont également des critères importants : un environnement à dominante industrielle et une main-d'œuvre hautement qualifiée sont attractifs. Les préférences des entreprises diffèrent d'un secteur à . l'autre. Ainsi, les établissements agro-alimentaires ne sont pas attirés par les grandes villes, au contraire, ceux des services aux entreprises s'installeraient plus volontiers dans les grands centres urbains. Toutefois, malgré l'expression de ces préférences, les entreprises déménagent rarement. Quand elles le font, c'est essentiellement pour disposer de locaux mieux adaptés. [spa] El entorno preferido de las empresas Los establecimientos industriales y de servicios a las, empresas de la region Nord-Pas-de-Calais expresan una , fuerte predilecciôn por una instalacion a la periferia de una gran ciudad. La accesibilidad a las infraestructuras de, transporte, en especial a las autopistas, es a menudo lo que prevalece. La naturaleza de las actividades que- dominan localmente y la estructura de la mano de obra son también unos criterios importantes : un entorno, esencialmente industrial y una mano de obra altamente cualificada son un atractivo. Las preferencias de las empresas difieren de un sector a otro. Si a las empresas agroalimentarias no les atraen las grandes urbes, al contrario, las de servicios a las empresas se ubicarîan con preferencia en los grandes centras urbanos. Con todo, aunque expresan sus preferencias, empresas dudan mucho en mudarse. Cuando lo hacen, es esencialmente para beneficiarse de locales adaptados. [eng] The environment sought by firms Industrial and business services firms in Nord-Pas-de-Calais clearly prefer to locate around a large town. Access to transport infrastructures, especially motorways, is often a priority. Other important criteria are . the nature of locally dominant activities and the structure of the workforce. A environment with a dominantly industrial component and a highly skilled workforce are attractive. Firms' preferences differ from one sector to the next. For example, food firms are not attracted to large towns while business services firms are more likely to set up in large urban centres. Nevertheless, despite these preferences, firms rarely move. When they do, it is mainly to gain more suitable premises.
