Project overview

 
   
 

Content

Problems of foothill and hill countries regarding integrated management of water resources, risk and landscape management can be solved sustainably only in an interdisciplinary way. ILUP pursues the basic concept of a holistic, network-oriented landscape assessment from the problem solving approach to the implementation of measures.

Objectives

  • Harmonisation and integration of existing sectoral methodologies: Implementation of an integrated river basin management as a new efficient planning tool
  • Preparation and implementing integrated strategies for evaluating foothill and hill country, based on surface assessment regarding natural hazards and use potentials and the ensuring conflicts, as well as prevention support (floods, mudflows, etc.) with transnational coordination (transferability of valuation approaches)

  • Development of new methods for identifying future risk scenarios and effects of foods (early detection and reactivity to risks) with special consideration for the climate change
  • Preparation of medium- and long-term concepts for land use and landscape management (i.a. to minimise use conflicts) for a sustainable development and transnational cooperation
  • Increasing the acceptance among population for river basin management through new market and communication mechanism by simultaneously setting river-related impulses for regional development

 

Expected effects

  • Integrated water management - coordinated management system transferable to several countries and Good Practice guides
  • Ccoordinated planning in the disciplines will be integrated into the instruments of regional planning (regional development, risk prevention)
  • First implementation of interdisciplinary regional assessment of natural hazard and use potential for these regions as decision-making base for a sustainable land use
  • Development of mutual proposals for guidelines and comments on the implementation programmes for regional planning

 

Activities

Planning activities (transnational studies and strategies, land use plans, etc.), networking, pilot actions, information, training, awareness raising.
