WP 4 Action Plan


WP 4 MilestonesNovember 2006: Detailed pilot project plans and Terms of Reference developed; tenders prepared, personal and/or external expertise contractedSept.-Dec. 2007: Main activities within all pilot projects completed; start of analysis and evaluation of pilot project resultsOct. 2007-Feb. 2008: Discussion of pilot projects results for national and transnational recommendations


WP 4 Common activities (?)Analysis of pilot projects in compliance with national strategies defined in Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2002Definition of a set of indicators to evaluate pilot project efficiency in ICZM Final evaluation of pilot projects results and development of best practices for Spatial Planning in ICZM


Recommendation 30 May 2002 (1)Identify the roles of the different administrative actors within the country or region whose competence includes activities or resources related to the coastal zone, as well as mechanisms for their coordinationIdentify the appropriate mix of instruments for implementation of the principles of integrated coastal zone management within the national, regional or local legal and administrative context


Recommendation 30 May 2002 (2)Identify measures to promote bottom-up initiatives and public participation in integrated management of the coastal zones and its resourcesIdentify sources of durable financing for integrated coastal zone management initiatives where needed, and examine how to make the best use of existing financing mechanisms both at Community and at national level


Recommendation 30 May 2002 (3)Include adequate systems for monitoring and disseminating information to the public about their coastal zonesDetermine how appropriate national training and education programmes can support implementation of integrated management principles in the coastal zones

Emilia-Romagna ICZM


Emilia-Romagna Region


Emilia-Romagna ICZMICZM represents the advanced tool to address all coastal activities towards economic, social and environmental sustainabilityThe integrated approach will be the driving force to the social and economical development of coastal zones The management of coastal areas focussed on sustainability can be successful only by adopting a complete set of juridical, economic tools, technological solutions, education and training


Institutional BuildingInstitutional Committee (6 Regional Ministers, 4 Province Presidents, 14 Mayors)Integrated Project Management Board of Directors (Environment, Soil, Industry, Tourism, Spatial Planning, Agriculture)10 WGs (almost 200 experts, scientists and stakeholders)


Thematic areasThe physical system, defence strategyIntegrated water management at basin scalePort, transport, navigation related risks and managementEnlargements of natural habitats and improvement of biodiversitySustainable tourismFishing and aquacultureSustainable agricultureEnergy policyCoastal urbanisation and transportEducation and dissemination


State-of-play in implementingEmilia-Romagna Region Council has adopted, Act n. 645, 20 January 2005, ICZM Guidelines for the long term sustainability of its coast and seaDuring the 2005 and 2006 all coastal provinces (Ravenna, Forl-Cesena, Rimini, Ferrara) have adopted the Guidelines at local levelBy the end of the year 2006 the adoption of the guidelines is foreseen for all 14 coastal Municipalities> 5.000.000 Euro for ICZM pilot projects


Emilia-Romagna Pilot Project


A short backgroundThe ICZM Guidelines consider the settlement system as one of the strategic sectors on which actions should be focussed by administration involved in spatial planningLand use and settlement system are therefore the first context of implementation of guidelines, and local authorities are the territorial references for the full-fledged and effective implementation of ICZM contents


Regional Law n. 20/2000The Regional Law recognises a relationship based on interaction between action in the field of planning competence and environmental, settlement, networked infrastructure, and mobility systemThe Regional Law identifies in the preventive evaluation of plan sustainability the tool for the assessment of interactions and impacts of planning choicesIt also establishes the mandatory monitoring of effects and regular drafting of implementation reports


Ferrara coastal area

Total extent: 604 km2

Coast length: 35 km

Population: 50.967 inhabitants (2/3 inland located)

Density: 84 inhabitants/Km2

Pilot project objectives

Adopting and deepening of ICZM guidelines in Territorial Coordination Plan (TCP) of Ferrara ProvinceDeepening of nine thematic areas defined by ICZM guidelines at provincial scaleCharacterisation of interactions between the TCP and environmental systemMain aim: TCP will be an integrated tool of different plans and policies regulating the coastal zones


Pilot project activities Coordination and integration of the existing geographical data;Creation and development of a common GIS database in order to promote an integrated spatial planning approach; Defining of environmental, territorial/social, health and safety, and landscape qualification indicators of sustainability;Characterisation of interactions between the territorial plans and the environmental systems;Characterisation of mitigation actions and their evaluation in term of sustainability;Defining of monitoring indicators to evaluate TCPs effects.


Pilot Project actionsCommon rules for large - area planning (TCP) andUrban Planning (Structural Plan of municipality)Strategic assessment of territorial, environmental andsocial/economical sustainabilityEvaluation of territorial impacts and definition of alternative scenarios respect to ICZM objectives
