  10. Kroumirie & Mogods, Grand Sfax, Tunisie • Prendre en compte les attentes de tout le monde, reduire les conflicts, faire converger les interets des differents secteurs • Outils: Comitésintersectoriels, GIS, Think Tools, scenarios partagés, SDGS, Protocole suivi des indicateurs du processus GIZC SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  11. IMAC, Lebanon • Bringing all sectors to work together on an agreed vision to sustainably manage the costal zone for the well being of all concerned through a well devised incremental action plan • Data integration • Tools : inception workshop, stakeholder analysis, conflict analysis, economic valuation of CZ, legal and institutional analysis, sector analysis of needs and percpetions by holding separate sectorial discussion, Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping Analysis, Coastal health indicators (for risk assessment and awareness raising), Anaysis of coastline development over long term with GIS • identify common denominators (identifying issues), analyse information, draw conclusion on real state of CZ, identify opportunities for sector commonality • Sectorial integration • Tools : workshops using common opportunities from all studies, create consensus, start on commonalities to develop common plan, intersectoral advisory committee (to rule the process) SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  12. Different aspects of Integration emerge : • Institutional integration (vertical / horizontal) • Stakeholder’s « integration » • Integrating environment and socio-economic issues • Sectoral planning integration (tourism, fisheries, transport, housing, industry etc.) • Data integration SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  13. Main Findings • Integration has become a fashionable buzz-word but, in reality, there is very limited practical guidance in the scientific litterature and elsewhere on how to actually work towards its achievement. • Most ICZM projects witnessed a concrete difficulty to « change gear » and move from analysismode into planning mode. SMAPIII TA provided guidance resulting in the development and testing of methods and tools SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  14. MIND THE GAP ! UNCERTAINTY SECTORAL ANALYSIS INTEGRATION !?? CROSS-SECTORAL PLAN SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  15. Suggestions : Analysis Physical CURRENT STATE OF THE « ENVIRONMENT » Socio-economic (institutional) Biological SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  16. A critical view at theavailable information • Can we clearly identify and address main issues/problems within each discipline/sector ? • Can we identify and/or investigate boundaries ? • Can we identify and/or investigate the causes of change ? • Can we identify which causes are “given” and which are still subject to change ? • Can we identify and/or investigate the effects of change ? • Did we ask ourselves the question : So what …. ? SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  17. The « SO WHAT !!!?? » Method • Never forget an ICZM Plan is addressed to decision-makers, which are genrally more concerned with money than the disappearence of the odd rare species of bird ! • Consult with decision makers BEFORE undertaking any analysis • Focus your analysis to collect management relevant information and not any information • Always push your analysis to the identification of the socio-economic causes and effects of each issue SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  18. Problem Trees : a useful tool http://www.odi.org.uk/RAPID/Tools/Toolkits/Communication/Problem_tree.html SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  19. DPSIR Model(EEA) Response Driver STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGICAL Impact MITIGATION / COMPENSATION Pressure State SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  20. Suggestion : Integration of information Tourism Water resources Land use KEY ISSUES Sand extraction LEVEL OF INFLUENCE Waste water LEVEL OF DEPENDENCE SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  21. One word on GIS • GIS as a tool to assist decision-making is as good as the quality and appropriateness of the data collected and as useful as the clarity of the management purposes that it was designed to serve. • The overall cost and time required to develop a GIS application remains relatively high compared with the current hardware and software costs. • It is always necessary to evaluate if the investment in a GIS is cost/effective with respect to the management goals. • Do not forget GIS outputs can be a powerful participatory tool. SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  22. The Planner’s fundamental questions • Q1 : what is likely to happen ? • Q2 : what can I do ? • Q3 : Whta will I do ? • Q4 : How will I do it ? • Preliminary question (Q0) : Who am I ? Definition of our identity, our limits of competence, our objectives SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  23. Essential plan definition steps What could happen ? What can I do ? What will I do ? How will I do it ? Q 1 • Analysis to identify the key critical issues • Develop scenarios • Identify objectives • Identify actions/projects • Prioritise projects based on feasibility • Define priority actions/projects in detail • Define M&E indicators Q 2 Q 3 Q 4 SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  24. One word on Scenarios • Scenario development could provide an alternative approach to integration : • Imagine the future we wish to see for ourselves (e.g. a family picnic on the beach) • analyze all the enabling factors that would be required to allow that vision to become reality (e.g. a beach, access to the beach, transport infrastructure to the beach etc.). • Stakeholders (especially technical ones) need to be “enabled” SECTORAL ANALYSIS GOAL(S) SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France

  25. Second iterative management cycle IntegrationProcess Overview Step 1 Brainstorm main issues/problems Step 10 Estimate cost/benefit of solutions (scenarios) to address the problem Step 2 Organize issues/ problems by “sector” Step 9 Identify responsibilities, legal basis, existing activities for each element Step 3 De-structure to determine paths of cause to effect Step 8 Identify potential solution(s) Step 4 Define scope or boundaries Step 5 Re-structure to determine relationship between sector cause/effect pathways Step 7 Rephrase issues/problems in context of management goals Step 6 Identify key challenge elements (causes of change) SMAPIII Regional Seminar – 29-30 June 2009 – Marseilles, France
