Geo-Information Technologies in Support of Environmental and Landscape Planning

Abstract

Knowledge bases have been built to support three environment and landscape planning processes to assess and decide where and how to: locate environmental systems (waste disposal and processing, water supply and processing) in areas included within the EU's Objective 2 programmes for the Liguria Region;design strategies, zoning and rules for the plan of the Cinque Terre National Park, which prioritise high value landscape preservation; andestablish a new layout for strategic railway and motorway infrastructures for the metropolitan area of Genoa, tackling the question of compatibility with the affected areas
