ISOTEIAIntegrated System for the promotion Of Territorial / EnvironmentalImpact Assessment in the framework of spatial planningwww.isoteia.orgMeeting of the ISOTEIA projectProject DescriptionThe aim of the ISOTEIA project is the establishmentof an integrated system designed to promotethe best means and instruments to assess Territorialand Environmental Impacts (TEIA) within theframework of resource management and regionalplanning in the CADSES region for environmentalprotection.During the project run-time, eight TEIA case studieswhich are based on alternative scenarios generatedby the Spatial Decision Support Systems(SDSS) in national and transnational study areasin different environmental fields such as surfacewater management, ecosystem protection, forestmanagement, integrated irrigation management,water supply optimisation and precision farmingare planned. They will serve as examples and asfeedback to further improve the methodology andtools. The main expected result of the project isthe promotion of an effective and sustainable managementof natural resources in CADSES.Results and EffectsISOTEIA will and has already achieved the followingresults:i Establishment of a network comprising researchand technological institutions as well as localand regional authorities and organisations,i Integration of methodologies and tools for TEIAusing the Spatial Decision Support Systems(SDSS) in national and transnational study areas,i Eight case studies (two transnational) based onthe application of SDSS in different environmentalfields,i Ten researchers among the project partnerstrained in Geographical Information Systemsand Remote Sensing (GIS-RS) tools and applications,i Training of researchers and professionals onbest practices in TEIA using SDSS,i One multi-task digital service offering all thenecessary documentation and sources of updatedinformation to planners, stakeholders andprofessionals for TEIA and SDSS applications aswell as a forum for consultancy,i Course curricula related to GIS-RS, SDSS andTEIA.DurationStart ....................................................... 01/2004End ......................................................... 12/2006Budget (EUR)Total Budget ....................................1,194,136.00thereof ERDF ......................................799,891.55EU Regions/Member StatesNon EU Member StatesLead PartnerProject Partner0 200 kmLead PartnerCIHEAM - Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of ChaniaPO Box 85, Makedonias Str. 173100 ChaniaGREECEContact PersonMr. Alkinoos NikolaidisTel +30 282 1035000Fax +30 282 1035001E-Mail alkinoos@maich.grProject PartnersAlbaniaInstitute of Informatics and Applied Mathematics, TiranaBosnia and HerzegovinaHydro-Engineering Institute of Civil-Engineering Faculty ofSarajevo, SarajevoBulgariaTechnical University of Sofia, Faculty of Computer Science,SofiaGreeceAristotle University of Thessaloniki, Department of Forestryand Natural Environment, Laboratory of Forest Managementand GIS, ThessalonikiAristotle University of Thessaloniki, ThessalonikiOrganisation for the Development of Western Crete, ChaniaMunicipality of Kolymbari, Crete, ChaniaMunicipality of Archanes, Crete, IrakleioItalyUniversity of Trieste, TriesteCIHEAM- Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari, ValenzanoRegional Government of Friuli Venezia Giulia, TriesteRomaniaTechnical University of Bucarest, BucharestENVIRONMENTMEASURE 4.1INTERREG III B CADSES / PROJECT BOOK129
