Zusammenfassung |
During the centuries, the seaside has represented a crucial pole for future human
development and civilization. The use of the sea for transport and trade and
the overwhelming availability of food derived from coastal waters have
encouraged and strengthened the growth of urban settlements. In the same
time, the human pressure menaces to destroy coastal habitats and
consequently their carrying capacity that allows for many essential
functions.
Low-impact activities are often replaced, on the surface, by new intensive
ones that are attractive in the short term, but that in the long term
undermine by reducing the resilience of the coast. It is clear that, in a
perspective of sustainable development, economically efficient and socially
equitable use of coastal areas need to be supported inside strategies to
correct these weaknesses. The definition of such strategies and their
implementation in the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is an
essential tool for supporting decisions and of monitoring.
The issues of monitoring, more in particular, have been the subject of study and
modelling by the use of Dynamic Spatial Data Analysis (DSDA), in the case of
the SEA of the Coastal Plan of the Italian Apulia Region, as an information
instrument for regulating the anthropogenic changes; a possibility to
implement the analysis of environmental sensitivity and propensity to
Coastal erosion has been explored, in order to control the level of human
pressure on land. The monitoring system should provide an automatic
"alert" when the dimension and the velocity of the change of land use overpass
some threshold of environmental pressure. |
