This article aims at addressing the future challenges in Sustainability and Information Technology (IT) by reversing order of conventional prioritization social objectives technology, placing aim first means second. In engineering historically, there has been greater focus on developing technologies (means) then determining their potential (aim), how to tame unintended consequences. The greatest challenge confronting humanity coming decades is sustainability. Therefore, question can IT...
The aim of this paper is to provide the foundations for development a spatial decision-support toolset that combines cumulative impacts and ecosystem service supply assessments support what-if scenario analysis in maritime planning context. Specifically, conceptual framework has been designed order introduce new approach place-based change relative multiple services at time due changes impacts. Central are two pre-existing approaches impact tools facilitate them. take advantage available...
With growing pressures on marine ecosystems and space, an increasingly needed strategy to optimise the use of space is co-locate synergic human uses in close spatial–temporal proximity while separating conflicting uses. The ArcMap toolbox SEANERGY a new, cross-sectoral spatial decision support tool (DST) that enables maritime planners consider synergies conflicts between assessments co-location options. Cross-sectoral approaches are important reach more integrative planning (MSP) processes....
Spatial tools to calculate cumulative impact assessments on the environment (CIA) are important contributors implementation of an ecosystem-based approach maritime spatial planning (MSP). Ecosystem dynamics increasingly understand as activities and pressures in marine areas increase. Results from application a new training set for CIA tool MYTILUS, developed capacity-building MSP projects active learning environments, illustrate points how method can be used systematic scenario design. The...
Data repositories such as Eurostat and OECD provide important socioeconomic datasets useful to guide decision support towards reaching sustainable development goals. However, data are typically available at a limited spatiotemporal scale. In the Horizon Europe-funded AquaINFRA project, specific scope is make EU more analysis ready. As part of this, transformations into common spatial entities needed facilitate cross-analysis in, for example, social-ecological modelling. This paper uses...
With the blue economic sectors growing, marine macroalgae cultivation plays an important role in securing food and energy supplies, as well better water quality sustainable ways, whether alone or part of a cluster solution to mitigate effects fish farming. While exists Europe, it is not that widely distributed yet; with increasing activities at sea, Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) needs ensure social recognition spatial representation for such new activity. This comparative case study...
Abstract . Collaborative spatial decision support tools can contribute with setups for including stakeholders into marine planning (MSP) processes the purpose of increasing trust in outcomes, facilitate shared goals, and provide transparent, scientific, inclusive, technical foundations planning. A new collaborative setup based on combination functionalities from two called SEANERGY Baltic Explorer was designed tested a workshop 2020 targeted local authorities, NGOs, citizens Denmark an...
