| Zusammenfassung |
Today it is evident that there are many contrasting demands on our landscape
(e.g. food security, more sustainable agriculture, higher income in rural
areas, etc.) as well as many land degradation problems.
It has been proved that providing operational answers to these demands and
problems is extremely difficult.
Here we aim to demonstrate that a spatial decision support system based on
geospatial cyberinfrastructure (GCI) can address all of the above, so
producing a smart system for supporting decision making for agriculture,
forestry, and urban planning with respect to the landscape.
In this paper, we discuss methods and results of a special kind of GCI
architecture, one that is highly focused on land management and soil
conservation. The system allows us to obtain dynamic, multidisciplinary,
multiscale, and multifunctional answers to agriculture, forestry, and urban
planning issues through the Web. The system has been applied to and tested
in an area of about 20 000 ha in the south of Italy, within the framework of
a European LIFE+ project (SOILCONSWEB).
The paper reports – as a case study – results from two different
applications dealing with agriculture (olive growth tool) and environmental
protection (soil capability to protect groundwater).
Developed with the help of end users, the system is starting to be adopted
by local communities. The system indirectly explores a change of paradigm
for soil and landscape scientists. Indeed, the potential benefit is shown of
overcoming current disciplinary fragmentation over landscape issues by
offering – through a smart Web-based system – truly integrated geospatial
knowledge that may be directly and freely used by any end user
(www.landconsultingweb.eu). This may help bridge the last very important
divide between scientists working on the landscape and end users. |
