  1. ICZM Criteria for Spatial Plans 1 June 2007 Dipl.Ing. Katarzyna Scibior

  2. Background of this study • Regional Spatial Planning Office Słupsk • Technical University Berlin Faculty of Environmental Planning

  3. ICZM Criteria • Substantial • Formal • Procedural

  4. 1 ICZM Themes Substantial Criteria • “ ICZM should based on a broad overall perspective (thematic and geographic), which will take into account the interdependence and disparity of natural systems and human activities with an impact on coastal areas” (2002/413/EC). • Key issues of the Polish National ICZM Strategy:1. Population welfare2. Safety of the coast3. State of environment How profoundly do following issues find consideration: a) socio-economy b) coastal protection and c) environment, including nature protection

  5. 2 Thematic Integration Substantial Criteria • Practical approach • ↓ • Integration • ↓ • Creating synergies Are the thematic parts well integrated with each-other? Are synergies between them identified?

  6. 3 Local specificity Substantial Criteria In particular, coastal zone management should be based on: “… local specificity and the great diversity of European coastal zones” (2002/413/EC) Is local specificity described in the Study? Alternatively, does the document show a distinct thematic dominant?

  7. 4 Goals and measures Substantial Criteria • ‘Smart’ formula: Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic, Time-phased. • E.g. “Special attention should be paid to maximal protection of coastal forests against damage caused by human pressure” • Better: “Coastal forest in Zone A1 should be protected by effective visitor-steering mechanisms (signs, pick-nick area, attractive paths etc.) in Zone A2” • NO SECTOR-GOALS! • Better: small-scale zoning for cumulative goals and measures How smart and cumulative are the goals and measures?

  8. 5 Legibility Formal Criteria Understandable text ↓ Better integration ↓ Participation ↓ Implementation Is the language simple and concise? Is the layout clear? Are the chapters structured and labelled in a logical manner??

  9. 6 Accessibility Formal Criteria • “ICZM process should be open and transparent” (HYDER 1999) • “Environmental information has to be available without an interest having to be stated; and, if possible, in the requested form” (Art 4. Aarhus Convention) • Essencial condition for -> Participation Is the plan available online? Is it easily accessible in the municipality council?

  10. 7 Maps Formal Criteria or Has GIS been applied? Is unmistakable linkage with the text possible?Are all goals legibly covered by the Plan?

  11. 8 Public Participation Procedural Criteria

  12. 9 Authority co-operation Procedural Criteria Do authorities co-operatate in a negotiative way?

  13. Conclusions There are no one-and only ICZM criteria yet. Diverse sources of ICZM criteria: • EC Recommendation 2002 • National / Regional ICZM Strategy • Results of the EU Demonstration Projects • Evaluation of ICZM in Europe • UNESCO? • ? • ?
