Emilia-Romagna WP 2 –
Activities completed during Plancoast
The following WP2 objectives were successfully reached in the
PLANCOAST project:
1. SIC update focused on the relevant topics in Integrated Coastal Zone
Management (RER-ICZM ). New tematic fields and analytical tools were
created for territorial planning and GIS analysis of coastal zones.
Some of the implemented fields are:
•Heritage , SIC and ZPS
•Marine hydrodynamics monitoring
stations
•Marine hydrodynamics elaborations
• Coastal Aquifers
• Sea -use
• Regulation and planning
Off-shore gas
platforms &
territorial boundary
Hydrodinamic
stations:
real and virtual

3. Vulnerability assessment carried out within WP4 pilot project, with particular detail to
the physical coastal system of Ferrara Province.
• Ferrara coastal area lies in
the Po delta plain and is
characterized by:
•low topography with large
areas below sea level;
•intense morphodinamic
evolution;
•High human pressure and
turistic exploitation of the
beach.

Emilia-Romagna WP 2 connected to WP4
Activities completed during Plancoast
Critical environmental factors acting in the coast were
identified. Vulnerability indicators were analysed and combined
using GIS technology.
Critical factors
Vulnerability idicators
River Flooding
Geomorphology
Events frequency
Coastal erosion
Beach width
Beach elevation
Coastal slope
Shoreline accretion/erosion rate
Subsidence rate
Artificial defence
Flooding due to sea-level rise
&/or storms
Topography
Subsidence rate
Wheather condition (sea state)
Sea level rise
Salt Intrusion of aquifers
Geological setting
Hydraulic parameters
Resistivity
Aquifers exploitation

Activities completed during Plancoast
The vulnerability assessment was built up on the base of the indicators ranking.
Several thematic maps, representing vulnerability classification relative to
specific factors, show the most critical zones of Ferrara coast e.g:
Shoreline changes due
to subsidence rate plus
sea-level rise (2090)
Coastal erosion
Elevation plus
subsidence rate

Emilia-Romagna WP 2 - GIS
Lessons learned
1.
We have enough data to support properly an ICZM and the future
IMSP (intagrated marine spatial planning)
2.
It is very difficult to find not-environmental data, i.e. socialeconomic data.
3.
A lot of time was spent to omogenized data format , compiled by
different organisations and regional departments. The resulting
integrated information system permits to carry out correct analysis of
data, up to identify impact and compatibility of different uses on the
coast and sea .
4.
Very important target was to establish a procedure for an accurate
vulnerability analysis, up to identify objective constrains and
permissions for the planners.

Discussion points
Comparing with the PlanCoast Handbook messages, concerning datamanagement we found:
Message 1: Carry out a regular stocktake of coastal and marine uses; maintain an updated
database of uses and their impacts. It‘s been confirmed; howewer many difficulties have
been encountered expecially to involve departments and institutions which are not organised
in data collection and management.
Message 2: Prepare integrated and constantly updated maps of marine spatial uses
everywhere (ongoing spatial observation/monitoring): we approached this theme but some
data are still lacking for completing the maps.
Message 7: a) Improve availability and accessibility to data and information. We implement
data according to EU Inspire Directive, giving information on the sources, availability, and
metadata. To promote accessibility and data exchange we have created a WEB-GIS
for public consultation of coastal data and cartography.
Message 7: b) Agree on systematic information exchange: it is important to underline the key
role of the regional institutions,
Message 7: c) Collect data according to need. It is important a regular monitoring survey and
database updating
