Sustainable Mobility and Tourism in Sensitive Areas of the Alps and the Carpathians (ACCESS2MOUNTAIN)

Start date: Apr 30, 2011, End date: Apr 29, 2014,

The Alpine and the Carpathian Conventions state sustainable tourism mobility as a challenge and call for cooperation on this topic among the countries of these mountain regions. In particular sustainable tourist mobility is not well-developed in mountainous regions, especially in South-East Europe, as mountain regions are lacking sufficient sustainable transport facilities and facing major ecologi ...

Central European Flood Risk Assessment and Management in CENTROPE (CE-FRAME)

Start date: Mar 31, 2010, End date: Mar 30, 2013,

The overall aim of CEframe is to ensure sustainable integrated flood protection management in a region with densely used small-areas by different national authorities. The focus of CEframe lies in flood protection facility operation and maintenance and flood protection measures elaboration for CENTROPE, namely in the river catchments of Danube, Thaya-Morava, and Leitha. The catchments span over th ...

imProved Accessibility: Reliability and security of Alpine transport infrastructure related to mountainous hazards in a changing climate (PARAmount)

Start date: Aug 31, 2009, End date: Aug 30, 2012,

Transport security and accessibility are essential for a balanced and sustainable development of ASP. Due to current climatic trends, the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural hazards has increased. But the specific threats to transport infrastructure have not yet been tackled in a systematic joint effort. Therefore the goal of PARAmount is to improve risk management strategies for ...

actical Use of MONITORing in Natural Disaster Management (MONITOR II)

Start date: May 31, 2009, End date: May 29, 2012,

Management of natural hazards constitutes a common challenge in the SEES. Until now, neither hazard mapping nor contingency planning have been transnationally coordinated and defined in a sufficient manner. These gaps will be tackled in MONITOR II with the development of a common methodology and a CSA ("Continuous Situation Awareness") system. The integration of monitoring systems facilitates peri ...

Stakeholder oriented flood risk assessment for the Danube floodplains (DANUBE FLOODRISK)

Start date: Apr 30, 2009, End date: Apr 29, 2012,

The Danube River is one of the most important natural axes in South-East-Europe. It links most of the countries in the SEE area. Thus the improvement and good examples of transnational cooperation of all countries at this river will be a brilliant signal for the whole region. This project has a far reaching strategic focus beyond risk management and could become a flagship project for the SEE prog ...

Climate Change Adaptation by Spatial Planning in the Alpine Space (CLISP)

Start date: Aug 31, 2008, End date: Aug 30, 2011,

Climate change impacts, esp. growing risks from natural hazards, increasingly threaten settlements, infrastructure, lives and future development in the Alpine Space. CLISP aims at preventing increasing climate change-related spatial conflicts, vulnerability, damages and costs by providing "climate proof" spatial planning solutions as a substantial basis for future sustainable territorial developme ...

Hazard Monitoring for Risk Assessment and Risk Communication (MONITOR)

Start date: Dec 31, 2005, End date: Dec 30, 2007,

The infrastructure in mountainous areas or regions with seismic activity is greatly threatened by hazards such as landslides, avalanches or earthquakes. MONITOR offers a basis for a standardised risk management of land-use activities threatened by natural hazards. The project's target groups and their regions vary in their risk exposure and their hazard potentials. MONITOR takes into account a bro ...

Integrated Land Use Planning and River Basin Management (ILUP)

Start date: Dec 31, 2001, End date: Dec 30, 2006,

The risk potential in river basins has increased strongly due to the enormous use pressure. In view of the demographic concentration in river basins and potential climate changes, safety in valleys is only possible if protective water management and other disciplines cooperate. In selected river basins, exemplary new methods are being tested, strategies developed and pilot projects implemented. Du ...
