Sea
Level Change Affecting the Spatial
Development in the Baltic Sea Region
The
SEAREG-project focuses on the socio-economic and environmental
assessment of climate change in the Baltic Sea region (BSR) specially
the sea level rise and the changing runoff patterns of rivers.
These can both lead to major flooding events having severe impacts
on the spatial development of cities and regions as well as sustainable
development of entire BSR.
The
results of the project will be summarized in decision support system
for impact assessment. This decision support system will be addressed
to both local and regional planning authorities in the case study areas
and the BSR cooperation on spatial planning in general.
The
project results will be achieved with the help of a multi-disciplinary
discussion platform, where the expertise of the scientists and spatial
planners meet and support a mutual learning process. Via group interviews
and workshops both sides become aware of the challenges related to fruitful
presentation and interpretation of possessed information.
Budget: 1 591 940 €, ERDF funding: 870 970
Project duration: 2˝ years (July 2002 - March 2005)
