Information System as a Tool for Marine Spatial Planning: The SmartSea Vision and Prototype

Authors : Ari Jolma, Ville Karvinen, Markku Viitasalo, Riikka Venesjärvi, Jari Haapala

Published in: Environmental Software Systems. Computer Science for Environmental Protection

Publisher: Springer International Publishing

Abstract

Planning the use of marine areas requires support in allocating space to particular activities, assessing impacts and cumulative effects of activities, and generic decision making. The SmartSea project studies the Gulf of Bothnia, the northernmost arm of the Baltic Sea, as resource for sustainable growth. One objective of the project is to provide an open source and open access toolbox for marine spatial planning. Here we present a vision for the toolbox and an initial prototype. The vision is based on a model of information system as a meeting point of users, information providers, and tasks. A central technical requirement for the system was found to be a data model and related database of spatial planning and a programmable map service. An initial prototype of the system exists comprising a database, data browser/editor, dynamic tile map service, web mapping application, and extensions for a desktop GIS.

The description may, depending on what kind of MSP policy is adopted, include temporal and other conditions and thus be quite complex in the end.

These are mostly projects done within the HELCOM collaboration and include projects HOLAS II, TAPAS, and MARISPLAN.

It is possible to create such a raster layer or input for one from a vector layer on-the-fly using rasterization.
