Applying Geospatial Technologies to Sustainable Development Analysis: The cas...Laurent Lacaze Santos
The aim of this dissertation is to present an approach for identifying land use and land cover changes, applying remote sensing techniques to compare data and identify trends in land change from multispectral satellite sensors. It also aims to demonstrate the potential of remotely sensed imagery to the monitoring of sustainable development of UNESCO’s biosphere reserves and contributes to protected area management policies by understanding landscape changes in time and space.
The research provides an analysis of the conservation zones of the BR and evaluates the behavior and trends of conservation and expansion of the biodiversity within the reserve. To this aim, it applies quantitative methods to carry out the investigation. More precisely, the study makes use of Geographical Information System [GIS] methodology to investigate ongoing patterns in the landscape scale of the BR Laguna-Peñuelas.
Landscape is both a physical reality and the representation that we make of it. It is the face of a land with all its natural and anthropological elements and, at the same time, the feelings and emotions that it arouses in us when we see it. Therefor the European Landscape Convention indicates that assessment of all these different dimensions that exist in landscapes should be considered by public authorities while adopting policies and measures at local, regional, national and international level for protecting, managing and planning landscapes throughout Europe.
With this situation in mind, GEOLAND – an Erasmus+ KA2 Higher Education project -focuses on NATURA 2000 sites, with as goal to establish a learning path for the HE students and professors in order to apply their geospatial analysis knowledge in Landscape monitoring and protection, using digital skills like public participation GIS, and low-cost geoinformatic. In particular the main aim of the project is to develop a web based GIS platform where numerous geospatial data may be uploaded, analyzed and students' opinion about landscape will be asked through questionnaires and crowdsourcing.
The project will thus provide the opportunity to students and professors, being interested in definition and implementation of landscape policies, to play an active part in setting sustainability indicators of desirable landscape quality objectives (LQOs). In addition, GEOLAND will attempt to train the future employees to identify and summarize the environmental and cultural stratification in the examined landscapes through a sophisticated GIS oriented Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) methodology. . In this direction, the project will develop a new methodological framework for monitoring Landscape tailored to the needs of the new digital era, safeguarding thus the inclusive nature of learning opportunities. Moreover, the project will provide training content matching the digital education needs.

Volcanic eruptions are among the most spectacular and dangerous phenomena on Earth, capable of generating disasters at various scales. The Geohazard Supersites and Natural Laboratories initiatives (GSNL) today is a network of 11 Supersites, including volcanoes and seismic areas. Complex algorithms are used to analyse these data and important information on the volcano activity. In addition to computing power and resources, researchers from the geo-gnsl community, as many other data-intensive science communities, are calling for innovative ways to manage their data, methods and other resources, which can enhance the visibility of scientific breakthroughs, encourage reuse, and foster a broader research accessibility. In this contribution we present the results of EVER-EST project (H2020-EINFRA-2015-1), in which we created in collaboration with different partners a virtual research environment (VRE) for Earth Science (https://vre.ever-est.eu/), embracing the research object concept and technologies at its core.

“The true journey of discovery does
not look for new lands, but has new
eyes”.
Marcel Proust
3. FERGUS-ON
Phase I - Data collection
A knowledge of the territory makes up the first phase.
This is obtained through a collection of data in situ
whose main topics are:
Climatology
Environmental geology
Water resources
Pedology
Vegetation
Fauna
Real property
4. FERGUS-ON
Phase II - Data analysis and arrangement of
management tools
This phase will imply the creation of:
• a Digital Elevation Model (D.E.M.)
• a Geographic Information System (G.I.S.),
in order to make:
• an Ecologic Map of the Landscape
• a Bio-diversity Map.
5. FERGUS-ON
The collected data will be useful for the arrangement of
a referential structure for the landscape planning via
successive inter-linked modelling phases:
• representational models
• process models
• evaluation models
• changing models
• impact models
• choice models.
6. FERGUS-ON
The modelling results are examined according to some
evolving cultural sceneries: i.e. an ‘Arcadia-type’
tourism or return to an idyllic state, a ‘Disneyland-type’
tourism or alienated enjoyment of free time, an
‘ecologic-type’ tourism and so on.
Such analyses will lead to:
• a Portofino Knowledge System (P.K.S.)
• and, from it, to a Decision Support System
(D.S.S.)
The D.S.S. is a system which will allow the competent
public authorities to identify and solve the problems by
taking the most appropriate decisions
when dealing with landscape management.
7. FERGUS-ON
Decision Support System (D.S.S.)
The Decision Support System (D.S.S.) will in specific
allow:
• to co-ordinate the production and spread processes
of knowledge and information;
• to evaluate the consequences of different actions
(simulations);
• to use a learning instrument which will allow
communication, interpretation and experimentation,
in order to develop coherent solutions with the
desired environmental quality;
• to support (rather than substitute) the expressed
technical evaluations;
• to improve the quality level of the decision making.
8. FERGUS-ON
Phase III - Creation of the EcoCentre and
training activities
In this last phase, as well as the knowledge and
instrument system, the Foundation has the aim of
creating an ‘EcoCentre’:
an operational factor for the entire project, a
support and place which will generate innovation,
an independent but at the same time inter-linked
centre with all the subjects able to pick up the
behavioural changing signs dictated by the new
millennium.
The aim of the Centre will be to transform the
know-how acquired in situ into a stronger
environmental sensitivity of the local authorities
and communities.
9. FERGUS-ON
Phase III - Creation of the EcoCentre and
training activities
10. FERGUS-ON
Within this phase, the activity of the Fergus
Foundation will focus on the training and
development of technical-administrative people
and of operators in the educational sector, with
the aim of:
• spreading the subjects linked to environment
education;
• awakening society to the environmental
problems of the lived area.
11. FERGUS-ON
Expected activities:
• A centre for a confrontation at European level,
between experts on eco-economics, able to give
information on the convenience of the present
model of resource withdrawal.
• The management of forums on specific
subjects, ‘the conversations on Portofino’,
and of annual meetings of assessment and
confrontation between the most advanced
European experiences.
• Organised relations with universities, suggesting
innovative research lines: from intelligent
instrumental monitoring, to bio-monitoring.
12. FERGUS-ON
• A laboratory for the preservation, maintenance
and valorisation of the bio-diversity (e.g.
arboreal archaeology).
• A support for the environmental preservation
intervention (e.g. ‘eco-software’).
• The ecologic conversion of the productive
activities:
• possible agriculture (a new agricultural
landscape);
• re-conversion of tourist activities based on
‘bio-centred’ free time consumption schemes
(e.g. ‘bio-watching’).
14. FERGUS-ON
What is under development
Within Phase II (Data analysis and arrangement of
management tools), the following points are still under
development:
• Ecologic Landscape Map;
• faunal research for the compilation of the Bio-diversities
Map;
• census of the agricultural terracing;
• photographic investigation for the compilation of a
computerised herbarium;
• the web site;
• the entire modelling phase.
The completion of the analyses regarding the
promontory of the Monte of Portofino and the annexed
Sea Preserve, and all Phase III (Creation of the
EcoCentre and training activities) still have to be
carried out.
15. FERGUS-ON
Educational role of the EcoCentre
The EcoCentre is also an educational place for:
• observations of the natural and cultivated
environments (bio-watching);
• organised technical-scientific activities;
• selected ecologic solutions, as well as for
individualisation of the training paths of new
environment professions, for modalities and
permanent training techniques integrated by new
computerised environmental and telecom
technologies (eco-software) which will allow net-
work connections and distance-working locations;
• promotion of a holistic approach for environmental
problems;
• organisation of conferences and training for the
reception of environmental tourism.
