Brief information concerning the state of the art of GIS

adopted for coastal management in Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy):

In order to support the Integrated Coastal Zone Management programme carried out by Emilia-Romagna Authority during last 4 years it was decided to create a Coast Information system (called SIC).

SIC was implemented by RER (Geological Survey) as part of the EU Cadsealand

Project (2004-2006).

For the database design we have referred to the guidelines issued by European

Commission within EUROSION programme (eu commission, 2004).

The Coast Information System contains data produced by different

Institutions during the last 100 years, and several information resulting

from projects recently carried out by RER Geological Survey, such as:

· Morphological and land use evolution

· Morphodynamic classification of beaches

· Coastal and marine digital model

· Coastal defences catalogue

· Risks analysis etc..

The structure of S.I.C., at present, consists of the following topic

groups:

· 1. Administrative boundaries

· 2. Topography

· 3. Geomorphology, geology and sedimentology

· 4. Hydrodynamics

· 5. Land cover

· 6. Coastal defence

· 7. Educational products

whereas other layers such as economic assets, have to be implemented.

The data mainly consists in cartographic products covering the entire

regional coastal area, such as historical maps, bathymetry, ortophotoes,

morphological and geological maps, etc., and performed in a GIS environment

using ESRI products .

Each spatial data is supplied with metadata, compiled following ISO 19115

procedure, according to 'Intesa GIS Stato Regioni' standard.

Metadata include all information about acquisition, property, processing

procedures, accuracy and many other specifics.
