Planning and management in the Baltic sea region with land information from eo

Objetivo



The aim of the BALANS project is to carry out a pre-operational demonstration of the use of information relating to land management from Earth observation by organisations with responsibilities relating to environmental protection and management in the Baltic Sea Region. The project is a preparatory step towards the establishment of a sustainable land information system for such organisations. The actions targeted are guided by priorities set at a regional level, and are designed to contribute to the sustainable planning and management of the whole region. The Co-ordinator for the BALANS project is the Swedish Space Corporation. Other partners, of which several are customer organisations, are the Finnish Environmental Institute, the National Land Survey of Finland, GRID-Arendal (Norway), the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, the Environmental Satellite Data Centre (Sweden) and UNEP/GRID-Warsaw (Poland). The goal of the project is to produce and test the generation and use of land cover information from EO for the Baltic Sea Region, tailored to the needs of specific organisations. Such information must be readily updatable and include information on changes. Secondary to this, the project will also generate information, materials and experiences of benefit to the development of the CEO programme and its services. Customer-specific products are required that must have a relatively high spatial and thematic information content, while the approach adopted must make it technically and economically possible to establish a sustainable information service in the longer term that regularly provides such products for the whole region.

These requirements suggest the creation of a Baltic Sea land information database, based upon medium-resolution EO data, from which a range of customer-adapted products can be generated. The project involves seven demonstration case studies design to test the generation of customer-specific products from the source database, carried out in co-operation with seven different customers. The measurable objectives of the project are intended to form the basis for a possible future land monitoring system for the Baltic Sea Region:- documentation of the detailed requirements of specific customer organisations for land information relevant to sustainable management initiatives in the region- documentation of the state of the art in regional land cover mapping and monitoring from EO, including land cover nomenclature issues- design and creation of a prototype land cover database and derived products- validation of the database and products for specific test areas in the region- execution of demonstration case studies in the region with specific customer organisations using tailored prototype products- a cost-benefit analysis carried out in close c-operation with the customer organisations- feedback and contributions to the CEO-programme, including provision of project information, news, results, expertise and access to on-line datasets.
