ATLAS of European coastal heritage landscapes typologies and climate change impacts
expand_more
RescueME is a Research Action funded by the Horizon Europe programme, focusing on enhancing the resilience of coastal cultural landscapes in Europe. RescueME mobilizes resources, engages stakeholders, facilitates decision making, and enhances the implementation of co-created and just resilience solutions to protect our common heritage.
Extended Data Description
The RescueME Atlas contains two types of information:
a) Five typologies of landscapes characterising the 513 coastal NUTS3 regions with regards to their natural, built, social, human and financial capital.
b) Risk assessments for the 513 coastal NUTS3 regions with regards to the risk of pluvial and river floods, landslides, coastal floods, droughts, wildfires, heatwaves and poor air quality.
With respect to the typologies, it is important to note that the resulting clusters do not imply any judgment or sequence, they are descriptive of the underlying indicators. Further, clusters can only be interpreted relative to each other. For example, if a region is characterised as having a male dominated workforce (with a gender employment gap > 15%), the term “male dominated” is relative to the other coastal NUTS3 regions analysed. It is possible that inland NUTS3 regions outside the scope of the analyses feature an even higher gender employment gap.
Overview:
Explore the **ATLAS** and **Integrated Spatial Decision Support System (ISDSS)** to gain insights into different indicators and make data-driven decisions.
**ATLAS** provides a high-level overview at the NUTS3 level, ideal for broader regional analysis and comparisons.
**ISDSS**, on the other hand, operates at more granular levels, enabling localized decision-making and in-depth analysis tailored to specific areas.
Key Features:
- ATLAS: High-level visualization of indicators at NUTS3.
- ISDSS: Detailed spatial decision support at local, regional, and provincial levels.
The RescueME ISDSS: Integrated Spatial Decision Support System
Overview: The Integrated Spatial Decision Support System (ISDSS) is an advanced analytical tool designed to facilitate complex decision-making processes at various administrative levels. Unlike ATLAS, which operates at the NUTS3 level, ISDSS provides a more granular approach by functioning at local, regional, and provincial levels. This allows for more detailed and specific analysis tailored to the unique needs of smaller administrative units.
Key features:
Multi-Level Functionality: ISDSS supports decision-making at local, regional, and provincial levels, enabling users to conduct detailed analyses tailored to specific geographic areas.
Granular Data Analysis: By working at more localized levels compared to the broader NUTS3 level of ATLAS, ISDSS can incorporate finer details and more specific data, resulting in more accurate and relevant insights.
User-Friendly Interface: The system features an intuitive interface that simplifies complex spatial data analysis, making it accessible for users with varying levels of technical expertise.
Advanced GIS Capabilities: Leverage powerful Geographic Information System (GIS) functionalities to map, analyze, and visualize spatial data effectively.
Scenario Analysis: Conduct what-if scenarios to predict outcomes and assess the impact of different decision-making options.
