CYBERPARK PROJECT: MULTITEMPORAL SATELLITE DATA SET FOR<br />
PRE-OPERATIONAL FIRE SUSCEPTIBILITY MONITORING AND POST-FIRE<br />
RECOVERY ESTIMATION<br />
Abstract: This paper describes a system for the m<strong>on</strong>itoring of natural protected<br />
areas in the Foggia Province (Apulia Regi<strong>on</strong> South of Italy) which was<br />
developed in the framework of the Cyberpark 2000 project (2007-2008). The<br />
project was funded by the UE Regi<strong>on</strong>al Operating Program of the Apulia<br />
Regi<strong>on</strong> (2000-2006). The system fulfills three main aims: it acts as a preventive<br />
tool by m<strong>on</strong>itoring fire susceptibility, it backs up the forest fire<br />
detecti<strong>on</strong> using and integrated approach, and it assists in planning the recuperati<strong>on</strong><br />
of the burned areas and m<strong>on</strong>itoring post-fire vegetati<strong>on</strong> recovery.<br />

This paper presents the knowledge-based system we developed in the c<strong>on</strong>text<br />
of Cyberpark 2000 project funded by the UE Regi<strong>on</strong>al Operating<br />
Program of the Apulia Regi<strong>on</strong> (2000-2006).The project aim was to support<br />
decisi<strong>on</strong> making for the management and m<strong>on</strong>itoring of the natural protected<br />
areas located in the Foggia Province (Apulia Regi<strong>on</strong>). The system<br />
includes four different modules, from A to D. In this paper we will focus <strong>on</strong><br />
modules A and D.<br />
A satellite time series of high spatial resoluti<strong>on</strong> data for supporting the<br />
analysis of fire static danger factors through land use mapping and<br />
spectral/quantitative characterizati<strong>on</strong> of vegetati<strong>on</strong> fuels;<br />
B satellite time series of MODIS for supporting fire dynamic risk evaluati<strong>on</strong><br />
of study area – Integrated fire detecti<strong>on</strong> by using thermal imaging<br />
cameras placed <strong>on</strong> panoramic view-points;<br />
C integrated high spatial and high temporal satellite time series for supporting<br />
studies in change detecti<strong>on</strong> factors or anomalies in vegetati<strong>on</strong><br />
covers;<br />
D satellite time-series for m<strong>on</strong>itoring: (i) post fire vegetati<strong>on</strong> recovery<br />
and (ii) spatio/temporal vegetati<strong>on</strong> dynamics in unburned and burned<br />
vegetati<strong>on</strong> covers.<br />
