Social and Economic Effects of Investments in Primorsko-goranska County Broadband Network

The paper deals with the methodology applied to data collection, as well as social, economic, and financial analysis of broadband investments’ effects related to the planning of broadband infrastructure development of the Primorsko- goranska County (PGC), with the City of Rijeka in focus. The analysis of the collected data and derived indicators has yielded results which can be significant for local and regional policy makers. It has been shown that investments in broadband infrastructure have a relatively high social return on investment and produce multiple socioeconomic benefits that can not only accelerate the development of cities and municipalities in PGC, but also contribute to inhibiting or turning negative demographic trends around.
