1. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 The Transnational PlanCoast Study: A closer look at structure and content Presentation 4th July 2007 / Schwerin Kira Gee sustainable projects

2. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 The transnational report is your report! Our role: Co-ordinators, co-authors, editors -Today: agree on overall structure and purpose -s.Pro will then: -Keep developing that structure in response to your needs -Pull together information from various sources -Write and edit the final text

3. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Purpose of the transnational report Main target group: SPATIAL PLANNERS responsible for Coastal Zones / Maritime Areas, additional target groups at policy level, decision-makers, researchers etc. Purpose: to provide hands-on guidance (tools/instruments) on how to realise effective planning for coastal zones / maritime areas Who do we want to address? What are the needs of our chosen target groups? What messages are particularly important? What are the expectations: Yours, of target groups?

4. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Proposed structure of the transnational report Why spatial planning in coastal zones/maritime areas? Securing the necessary baseline information How to carry out spatial planning Implementation, monitoring and control Supporting processes Summary of recommendations Annex: CD Rom

5. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Chapter 1: Why spatial planning? Coasts and seas: some global trends Climate change Sea level rise Increasing pressure on coastal and marine systems Coasts and seas : increasing complexity of demands on space Some national trends and examples The need for an integrated perspective: Land and sea are closely interconnected Interdependent impacts The international context of the sea

6. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Chapter 2: Spatial planning on which basis? Securing the necessary baseline information Stocktaking What is it? Taking stock of the coast and the sea: –Stocktake of coastal and marine systems –Stocktake of systems interchanges –Stocktake of spatially relevant impacts –Stocktake of the administrative framework From stocktaking to assessment How to rate trends and impacts? Developing a needs-based planning approach The importance of clear planning aims and objectives (Visions) Data needs Available data and information Collecting and exchanging data (results of the PlanCoast GIS group)

7. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Chapter 3: How to carry out spatial planning Establishing the framework From stocktakes to policy frameworks to implementation and control The special role of monitoring and respective data needs Preparing spatial plans: core issues Practical considerations: –Appropriateness of scale and delineation of planning space –Integration of land and sea –Maps The planning process –Who to involve how and when? –Access to information –Outcomes and outputs –Process monitoring and timescale Responsibilities: Who is tasked with what? Practical examples at different scales

8. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Chapter 4: Implementation of plans, monitoring and control The regulatory/legal context for implementation General information from the countries Problems with implementation Essential prerequisites for successful implementation The importance of context: what works in one country may not work in another Participation and acceptance Participation as a key driver of acceptance Public participation in decision-making Examples of participative processes

9. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Chapter 5: Supporting processes Supporting decision-making structures at a national and regional level The role of international projects and processes EU Green Paper HELCOM UNEP-MAP Black Sea Commission etc. Integrating different decision-making processes and generating involvement Finances

10. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Chapter 6: Summary of recommendations …..

11. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Annex National reports Adria-report Detailed case studies Important: This structure is just a mental aid and can be adapted! Issues-based approach Every chapter to have case study examples! Handbook rather than desktop study!

12. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Structure of Report Chapters Synthesis of State of Art in respective PLANCOAST countries / regions: Description Problems Analysis Similarities Differences Advantages Conclusions (taken from National Reports and other sources) Related samples taken from a PlanCoast Reports / Pilot Projects: The case of information collection in Emilia Romagna Functioning of ICZM National Committee in Romania Illegal Housing in Poland Conflict Resolution via Zoning in MV Short Recommendations to Spatial Planners (i.e. Checklists) Conclusions / Demands to Policy Makers

13. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Back to you: Where to you see your case study contribution to the transnational study? Where do you see a specific contribution/lesson/example from your national study?

14.

17. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Example 1: Portonovo beach Problem: Long tradition of illegal cave dwelling. Recently, cliff started to collapse, posing danger to people and their property. Dwellers demand expensive protection measures from the state. Cave dwellers have a cultural and touristic value, Besides they are the richest community members - cannot be kicked out. Solution: dialogue with the dwellers. Searching for compromise, time and space phased solutions.

19. Partner Meeting 4th July 2007 Example 2: Emilia Romagna GIS Problem: DG Environment wants to prepare a Coastal Defence Catalogue of the existing coastal information. Data from many different administrations and private companies such as enrgy providers is needed but they a)dont have a digital database b)not always willing to share information Solution: creating win-win situations. Offering the product (catalogue) in exchange for information in exchange for information WEB-GIS as an instrument.
