The transnational report is your The transnational report is your report!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


Purpose of the transnational reportPurpose 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?


Proposed structure of the transnational Proposed structure of the transnational reportreport

• 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


Chapter 1: Why spatial planning? 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


Chapter 2: Spatial planning on which basis? Chapter 2: Spatial planning on which basis? Securing the necessary baseline information 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)


Chapter 3: How to carry out spatial planning 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


Chapter 4: Implementation of plans, monitoring and Chapter 4: Implementation of plans, monitoring and control 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


Chapter 5: Supporting processes 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


Chapter 6: Summary of recommendations Chapter 6: Summary of recommendations

…..


Annex 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!

Problem: Long tradition of illegal cave dwelling. Recently, cliff started to collapse, posing danger to people and their

property.Dwellers demand expensiveprotection 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.
