Parks resources information management via environmental remotely sensed data analysis

Objective



The objective of PRIMAVERA Project is to provide operational support to the Natural Parks and Protected Areas Management organizations by means of introducing modern satellite remote sensing technologies in the process of generating synthetic environmental information products forpark managers.
Protected Areas, although often seen as a unique category for the sake of legislation, are extremely varied from the point of view of the territory extension and characteristics, and therefore present problems and priorities that can be significantly different from case to case.
In this context, PRIMAVERA proposes a series of basic applications, mainly built on consolidated techniques for hi-res visible and SAR images processing and interpretation, aimed at supporting the resolution of specific problems highlighted by different types of end-users pertaining to the same wide category of Protected Areas.
PRIMAVERA collects 4 application themes, corresponding to 4 pilot sites, 2 in Italy, 1 in Greece and 1 in the United Kingdom.
Each application theme shall satisfy the operational need of its respective end-users, which can be informally classified as follows:
Category
1) Sub-Urban PA
2) Coastal PA
3) Mountain PA
4) Rural PA
Description
1) Protected Area with extensive internal urbanisation and high anthropic pressure.
2) Protected Area with public accessible coastline.
3) Protected Area with a wide extension of non easily accessible mountain territory.
4) Protected Area with extensive internal cultivated territory.
Pilot Site
1) Italy 1
2) Italy 2
3) Greece
4) United Kingdom
Despite the specificity of the single applications, an important by-product of the project shall be the demonstration of remote sensing use within the Protected Areas management organizations, that in principle could be supported by one or more of the proposed applications. For this reason, all the application results shall be integrated with standard cartography within a dedicated, CEO interfaced and configuration controlled Project information Database, mounted or a GIS client - server. The Database shall also include all other project relevant information, such as specific calibration information and other in-situ information, as well as the used monitoring data sets.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
