Abstract:

The present project represents an original approach, from an inter-, pluri-, multi- and transdisciplinary perspective of the 6th domains - Patrimony and cultural identity. Through the structure of the consortium, the management of the project, the objectives proposed by the component projects, through the synergies and complementarities obtained, undoubtedly presents a high degree of feasibility, being a sophisticated, integrative and exhaustive approach for Romania. Its results will have an impact both on the national and international scientific communities, but also on the broad public, contributing through the proposed activities to the consolidation, development, and improvement of the RDI system in our country, and indirectly to the training of the future specialists from the Romanian research.

The final goal of the project is to create a complex interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary platform for integrated and systematic research of tangible and non-tangible cultural identities and heritage in Romania.

The consortium that will implement this complex project is coordinated by the University of Bucharest (CO-UB), in partnership with the "Vasile Parvan" Institute of Archeology of the Romanian Academy (P1-IAB), the National Institute for Research and Development for Physics and Nuclear Engineering " Horia Hulubei "(P2-IFIN-HH)," Al. I. Cuza "University of Iasi (P3-UAIC), West University of Timisoara (P4-UVT), National Institute of Research and Development for Material Physics (P5-INCDFM), the "Ovidius" University of Constanta (P6-UOC) and the University of Oradea (P7-UO). The way of geographic distribution at the level of Romania ensures a good regional representation of the legal entities represented within the consortium in this project. The combination of five universities and three national research institutes is the ideal combination to support and implement such a complex project.

Abstract:

European seas are subject to rapid development. With its Blue Growth strategy and Maritime Spatial Planning Directive, the European Union seeks to strengthen the economy, increase jobs and income, and secure long-term wealth by “unlocking the potential of the sea”. This triggers interest in interactive platforms, with complex features like to technology, governance, and financial, socioeconomic, and environmental aspects. The perception of maritime subjects and issues are different between groups of people, and depends on the information available to either party. The communication of scientific results is thus crucial to increase literacy and allow informed decision-making. This proposal will develop and evaluate how the participatory approaches contribute to the Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) directive implementation. To identify realistic and sustainable solutions and designs for MSP, the TEAM4SEAS project will adopt a participatory approach involving all stakeholders representing companies, authorities, researchers, locals, fishermen, NGOs, etc. The main aim is to illustrate how a web-GIS system can be applied as a sound basis for practically incorporating an ecosystem approach within maritime spatial planning initiatives. Key-benefits include effective data management, increased spatial understanding and the definition of conflicts across the Romanian Black Sea region. On the other hand, the progress recently made in framing the MSP process together with the stakeholders’ involvement and the new advancement (supported by our team) related to MSP issues prepared the ground for the current project which is the first conceived as an innovative and operational study to support spatially-based analyses of the Romanian Black Sea region. Moreover, our interdisciplinary approach will be conducted and presented in cordial ways that will increase stakeholder understanding of information generated thus supporting marine governance.

Abstract:

Increasing demands on marine resources and activities taking place in the marine area are compromising the future use and viability of the marine environment. Marine spatial planning is a useful and cost-effective tool for the regulation and protection of the marine environment. In this context, our project covers highly actual aspects concerning the way the marine spatial planning process evolves. The need to pursue new approaches and commitments for a sustainable utilization of marine resources has become very clear. We aim at an integrated approach of the social, economic, and ecological factors affecting the Romanian Black Sea coast via implemention of the ecosystem approach to marine management. The activities of this project are structured on three directions: (1) Setting up the scene for MSP in Romania, (2) Mapping and demonstrating MSP in the pilot area - between Mamaia and Eforie Nord (wildlife distribution and human uses, current and future), and (3) Create an enabling environment for participatory marine and coastal resource management and capacity building. We will provide guidelines on how to join and use spatial information in all steps of marine spatial planning. Effective and integrated marine spatial planning will contribute to deliver a coherent spatial plan that reduce conflicts of the Romanian marine environment, as well as minimising the pressure and impact on the marine environment.

Abstract:

Romania, as many other EU countries, faces difficulties with common policy implementation and the rate of absorption of structural, regional and cohesion funds. We believe these difficulties are caused by the fact that respective policies and strategic projects are designed in the countries of EU core and take into account local context of the periphery to a lesser extent. In order to overpass this drawback, and without militating for the dichotomy between the policies-for-the-rich and policies-for-the-poor, we propose original approach, which will help to better contextualize common policies. Our goal is to assess the way of response of the local social-economic and mixed natural-anthropic systems to two external stressors: regional environmental change and post-socialist transformations. Achieving the goal will help us to identify systems’ components more receptive to outside interventions (dynamic components) and more repulsive ones (stable components). The assessment of the degree of receptiveness / repulsiveness will be done through the lens of vulnerability-resilience concepts. These components will serve as benchmarks of local specificity. In order to maximize its impact, any contextualized policy will have to refer to these benchmarks by focusing on the most vulnerable (receptive) components and by avoiding the repulsive (stable) ones. The general-purpose recommendations, based on the findings of our project, will facilitate contextualization of the common policies

Abstract:

Urban settlements cause complex and significant perturbations in the regional climate as a result of an overlap of anthropic factors and natural climate, by generating the Urban Heat Islands which cause tragedies and damage to property. Relatively recent events ended in more than 38,000 victims in West European countries and the East Coast of the USA (August 2003). We are considering climatic hazards related to thermal extremes, with significant occurrence in Romania as well, especially in large urban agglomerations (Bucharest Municipality), mainly over the last decade. The building vulnerability is expressed in terms of transfer function between the climatic conditions and the inhabited indoor environment. High building vulnerability leads to an increase in the intensity of climatic hazards due to the anthropogenic component, as a result of installation of air conditioning equipment and systems in the buildings. This is the typical kind of acceleration of environmental disorder, namely of increase in the environmental entropy. The first major target of the project is the methodology for forecasting climate and energy risks correlated with the intensity of the urban heat island of the Bucharest Municipality (UHI), using representative experimental climatic zones. The selection of the climatic zones will be performed by means of satellite teledetection and by determination of air and land surface temperatures in various areas of the city (mobile laboratories and stationary sensors). Multicriteria correlations between UHI and the architectural and urban solutions parameters (climatic hazard function) are determined according to the characteristics of the urban solutions (street geometry, green areas, characteristics of buildings – optical, thermal etc.). Adjusted climate predictions are developed based on the UHI intensity, determined by using the climatic hazard function. The probable value of the climate risk, as well as the energy risk are assessed for the reference buildings from the experimental climatic zones, based on the adjusted climate predictions, in case of exceeding the peak demand of the electricity supply network. The risk forecast is developed using the GIS platform, which includes the GIS-R module (for climate risk) and the GIS-Energ module (for the energy risk), and this is the first major practical outcome of the project. An impact analysis of the technical solutions for sustainable urban improvement will be performed using the GIS platform, followed by development of scenarios (urban planning and buildings) specific to the experimental climatic zone characterised by major climate risk. A Compendium of technical solutions for UHI effect mitigation and sustainable reconfiguration of urban settlements and a comparative analysis with the state of the art from the climate risk perspective will represent the second major outcome of the project. The solutions aim both at the buildings and at the planning of the existing urban space. The methodology proposed by the project may be multiplied at the level of any urban settlement affected (or potentially affected) by climate and energy risks during the summer. A system for sending/receiving the weather alert and for sending the climate and energy risk alert to the public authorities will be in place by means of developing a Virtual Studio for the management of climate risk situations and modelling technical solutions to reduce the effects of the urban heat island. This product is the third major outcome of the project. The pilot applicative support is a District City Hall (a beneficiary of the climate alert by means of using a terminal connected to the Virtual Studio). The studio will also have a training and dissemination function due to its role as a laboratory used for the advanced courses provided by the Doctoral School of UAUIM, with the purpose to reduce the urban heat island effects and to contribute to sustainable urban design.
