  1. ISTHARKICK OFF MEETING Rome - May 14-15, 2001 Bologna Province activities and the usefulness of a model suite Gabriele Bollini, Maria Angela Guizzardi Impact Assessment and Environmental Sustainability Department

  2. Planning tools implementation • Agenda 21 • Provincial Territorial Coordination Plan (Piano Territoriale di Coordinamento Provinciale, PTCP) • Metropolitan Mobility Plan (Piano della Mobilità Metropolitana, PUM) • Air Cleaning Plan (Piano di Risanamento della Qualità dell’Aria)

  3. Works in progress • Air quality monitoring • Monitoring network with 15 fixed stations (among which 6 are in Bologna Municipality) • Monitoring campaign with mobile station during 15 days repeated in each season • Benzene and BTX monitoring campaign with passive samplers in 23 Municipalities

  4. Works in progress • VOC 2 Project aiming at defining strategies to reduce VOC emissions • Emissions Inventory Analysis tool evaluating and disaggregating emissions amounts in space and time

  5. Works in progress • With reference to PTCP and with value of Clean Air Plan The activities of air pollution analysis and evaluation refer to: specific goals of air quality and health protection and promotion; analysis of the present state of the provincial territory (Air Quality Report); “forecasting” assessment (Environmental Strategic Assessment)

  6. Works in progress The present state analysis is articulated according to the model Driving Forces (mobility, development pattern) – Pressures (emissions) – State (concentrations, emission scenarios, reduction scenarios) – Impact (effects on health and air quality) – Response (actions for …).

  7. Works in progress • The Metropolitan Mobility Plan (interesting 15 Municipalities) is aiming at: • Answering and developing mobility demand • Environmental recovery – goals definition and indicators individuation • Transport safety • Service quality • Definition of scenarios (with reference to the General Transport Plan)

  8. Activities developed • ANPA Project Definition of a prototype of a highly automated decision support system aiming at the integration of sector planning with urban and spatial planning: • Managementof urban planning and of air pollution causes, with particular reference to mobility • Integration of objectives at the municipal and metropolitan scale in a national and regional framework in order to guarantee the monitoring of the actions and effects

  9. Activities developed Sector and general planning integration requires the application of environmental and territorial sustainability forecasting assessment methods to evaluate plan politics/actions. This means the possibility to make choices, select alternatives or alternative scenarios, both at the level of strategic goals, and at the level of actions to reach the goals.

  10. Activities developed The definition of criteria for the assessmentrequires: • the individuation of specific (or performance) goals and transformation actions to evaluate • Individuation of evaluation criteria: which evaluation to undergo requirements to take into consideration information to be used how to develop the evaluations

  11. Activities developed SSP: Scenario – Simulation – Performance The method consists in the simulation of different scenarios in order to quantify for each scenario performances to be compared with reference goals, that is to say in the application to urban and transport planning of techniques and tools used in the E.I.A. and Environmental Strategic Assessment. The implementation of the traffic simulation model with calculation algorithms and specific environmental model permits the calculation of environmental indicators.

  12. Activities developed SIMT (Mobility and Transport Information System) It consists in a decision support system for the Local Authorities: • Transport offer representation and time evolution • Simulation of the effects of the territory spontaneous evolution • Simulation of the effects of targeted interventions on urban and transport systems

  13. ISHTAR usefulness for the activities integration • Use/comparison of the model suite with the integrated system of air quality evaluation and management; in particular, integration with MAAM (Environmental Modelling Metropolitan Area - ARPA) • Use/comparison of the model suite for mobility and traffic scenarios analysis (SIMT e PMM) • Use/comparison of the model suite to support the Environmental Strategic Assessment on PTCP
