COASTAL GOVERNANCE,PLANNING
AND DESIGN AND GI
This working group will deal about the sustainable management
of coastal resources, through the different phases of a ICM programme.
On the governance level it includes the definition of the policies
for the coastal area, the choices and the needs that lead to start an
ICM programme, and its general objectives.
In the planning phase, strategies, the specific objectives and
the extension of the intervention are outlined, in an operational perspective.
At this stage of the process the integration among scientists, actors,
planners and decision makers must be carefully set out to ensure the comprehensiveness
of the following actions. Moreover, budget, timing, available skills,
conflicting situation are key issues to discuss.
The premises and the strategies set in the previous phases are implemented
in the design phase through specific actions. The operational scale
is often local and integration is required especially between the ICM
promoters and operators and local communities.
In this working group the features of GIS techniques able to build the
base framework for the developing of an ICM programme will be discussed
as well as the GIS capability to face evolving situations, expressed either
at the proposal level, forecasting and showing the expected outputs and
consequences of the different management options, or at the assessment
level, evaluating the effectiveness of the interventions, and the impact
of the management on the coastal area. Moreover, since ICM involves the
participation of local communities, GIS will be presented also as an useful
way to keep them in touch with operators and planners, either by collecting
and including local inputs, or by supplying user friendly representations
of the different options and the expected results of the management.
