Indicator: All flows Weighted Intensity and Balance

The two-dimensional typology weighted for intensity vs. balance for the synthetic matrix of 11 flows indicates a strong group of highly intensive receivers in Switzerland and western Austria. It is the only compact group of regions among the highly intensive receivers. Apart from Switzerland and Austria, highly intensive receivers include individual metropolitan areas, such as Stockholm, Vilnius, Prague, Luxembourg, Copenhagen, and Hamburg. On the other hand, highly intensive senders are often re-gions located around metropolises, such as those around Vienna, Dublin, Brussels, Oslo, and (in the Netherlands) Randstad. Northern Norway and Sweden also belong to this type. The whole of Central and Eastern Europe (from Estonia to Greece) is characterised by a strong predominance of either non-intensive senders or non-intensive balanced types. Apart from the Greek islands, only a few regions in the whole area are characterised by medium- or high-intensity of flows (usually capitals), and a few others with low intensity have balanced flows or belong to receivers. These are areas with established international historical relations (Opolskie in Poland, Transylvania in Romania), or border areas with Western European countries (in both NUTS2 regions in Slovenia, Zachodniopomorskie in Poland).
