“…This procedure, done within an open source QGIS has allowed to directly connect the results deriving from complex elaborations done on satellite imagery directly with Open geospatial data provided by the local authorities. This method was chosen also because, due to its characteristics, satellite remote sensing imagery is particularly compatible and easily integrated with other geospatial data sources within common geospatial infrastructure system environments , Franci 2016.…”

ABSTRACT:Coupling of Climate change effects with management and protection of cultural and natural heritage has been brought to the attention of policy makers since several years. On the worldwide level, UNESCO has identified several phenomena as the major geo-hazards possibly induced by climate change and their possible hazardous impact to natural and cultural heritage: Hurricane, storms; Sea-level rise; Erosion; Flooding; Rainfall increase; Drought; Desertification and Rise in temperature. The same document further referrers to satellite Remote Sensing (EO) as one of the valuable tools, useful for development of "professional monitoring strategies". More recently, other studies have highlighted on the impact of climate change effects on tourism, an economic sector related to build environment and traditionally linked to heritage. The results suggest that, in case of emergency the concrete threat could be given by the hazardous event itself; in case of ordinary administration, however, the threat seems to be a "hazardous attitude" towards cultural assets that could lead to inadequate maintenance and thus to a risk of an improper management of cultural heritage sites. This paper aims to illustrate potential benefits that advancements of Earth Observation technologies can bring to the domain of monitoring landscape heritage and to the management strategies, including practices of preventive maintenance. The attempt here is to raise awareness on the importance of integrating satellite remote sensing imagery and the deriving products with other geospatial information (even geo-referenced historic maps) for a more complete insight on the environmental dynamics of landscapes.

“…Flood simulation and modelling can be used to provide relevant information on the dynamics of flood risk at a location and therefore the consequences for people living there. Simulating and modelling flood hazard are rapidly developing fields in hydrology [15] [19], remote sensing approaches [20] [21], rainfall data estimation [22] and flood simulation based on geographic information system (GIS) [23] [24]. Although these methods can solve some important problems, there are still two disadvantages in terms of risk communication: i) the flood prevention system is constructed in 2D environments other than 3D real world; ii) flood risk forecasts are mainly based on the analysis of historical data.…”

The Sponge City concept has been promoted as a major programme of work to address increasing flood risk in urban areas, in combination with wider benefits for water resources and urban renewal. However, realization of the concept requires collaborative engagement with a wide range of professionals and with affected communities. Visualization can play an important role in this process. In this research, a sponge city flood simulation and forecasting system has been built which combines hydrological data, topographic data, GIS data and hydrodynamic models in real-time and interactive display in a three-dimensional environment. Actual and design flood events in a pilot sponge city have been simulated. The validation results show that the simulated urban water accumulation process is consistent with the actual monitoring data. Use of advanced virtual reality technology can enable simulations to be placed in the wider design context including enhanced awareness of multiple functions of urban ecosystems. This procedure can therefore reduce the information communication gap and encourage innovation regarding low impact development required for sponge city construction.

“…Monitoring of land cover temporal changes is very important because it allows for the evaluation of anthropogenic effects on the environment, e.g., urbanization and deforestation [1,2]. Moreover, this type of monitoring provides a spatial estimation of such natural phenomena as flooding, a succession of natural vegetation and coastline change [3][4][5][6]. Land cover monitoring at the regional level over the long-term is also very useful for the assessment of sustainable development of rural areas [7].…”

In this study, we assess the land cover changes in southwestern Lithuania from 1984 to 2018. These changes were examined using data derived from Landsat 5, Landsat 8, and Sentinel-2 multispectral images. The study area encompasses the Nemunas Delta, which is affected by river-induced floods leading to seasonal variations in water coverage. The water-covered area was found to be quite stable across the years during the dry seasons, i.e., in summer and early autumn. A significant increase in forested areas was observed during the study period (from 15.1% to 19.0% of the total area). During the examined period, the average size of agricultural parcels decreased several times (from approximately 35 ha to approximately 5 ha), which was caused by the transition from socialist to private ownershipbased agricultural practices in the early 1990s. Almost all changes observed had rather positive environmental impacts (for biodiversity and maintenance of wildlife). Positive impacts included the establishment of several new protected territories between analysed periods. Negative impacts included the construction of wind turbines (approximately 50 in the area of study), which were not present at the beginning of the study period and may negatively affect the natural (agricultural and wetland) landscape of the region.
