Special Activities of each Partner in WP 8

LP: MUC

Lead Partner: city of Munich (D) – Department of Health and Environment

• MUC will contribute to the determination of the criteria to assess the evaluation procedure after implementation and for success control.
• MUC will apply the procedure in Munich on the basis of concrete pilot projects.
• MUC will assess its pilot projects on the basis of the previously fixed criteria.

EU-P1: BZ_EPA

Project partner: Autonomous Province of Bolzano (I) - Agency for Environment Protection and Industrial Safety

• --

EU-P2: FEA

Project partner: Federal Environment Agency Ltd. (A)

• Concerning WP 6 the FEA will contribute to the definition of criteria for the assessment of the evaluation tool. Furthermore the checking of application results can be carried out partially.
• In addition the FEA provides expertise and personnel resources for proving the evaluation tool for its practicability within the scope of current planning processes in the Austrian partner commune.
• The results of those case studies will be analysed and prepared for the documentation in cooperation with the Austrian partner commune.

EU-P3: IGUI

Project partner: University of Innsbruck (A)

• IGUI will accompany a planning procedure in two different municipalities of the Inn Valley and apply the evaluation technique.
• IGUI will support the municipalities in collecting data resp. collecting alternative soil relevant information.
• IGUI will evaluate and document the case studies.
• IGUI will make proposals for improving the technique.
• IGUI will make scenarios concerning the future settlement trends with and without the implementation of the soil evaluation technique in spatial planning of some selected municipalities of the Inn Valley.

EU-P4: LINZ

Project partner: city of Linz (A)

• LINZ together with RT are responsible for coordination of this WP and its smooth implementation.
• Contribution to the definition of criteria for the assessment of the evaluation tool.
• A selection of a set of different real test cases will be chosen under consideration of the discussed criteria. Eventually test cases of (an) other commune(s) in the city region can be included.
• The tests will be carried out and the evaluation of the test results will be done under the aspects of the defined criteria.

EU-P5: RT

Project partner: city of Reutlingen (D)

• LINZ together with RT are responsible for coordination of this WP and its smooth implementation
• Close Cooperation with LINZ
• Test of the evaluation method in 3 study cases, in consideration of limited capacity of different soil types, regarding to city backyards.
• Eventually test cases of (an) other commune(s) in the city region can be included.
• The in WP 5 developed checklist for soil evaluation will be reassessed by all partner communities headed by the group of LINZ and RT. Criteria comprise that the checklist is complete, manageable, comprehensible, well defined and easy to translate into public policy. Based on the results limitations and further developments will be discussed and optimised with each partner community.
• Additional requirements or instructions will be documented.

EU-P6: UHOH

Project partner: University of Hohenheim (D)

• UHOH will incorporate the results of WP 3 and 5.
• UHOH will give advices to each Project Partner in all case studies.
• UHOH will detect indicators for the evaluation of the procedure developed in TUSEC-IP.
• UHOH will evaluate and document the case studies.
• UHOH will detect guidelines and recommendations.

EU-P7: UNITO

Project partner: University of Torino (I)

• UNITO will define one or more case studies in cooperation with the Italian municipalities involved in the project and run the application of the methodology as defined in WP5. This will be done in close collaboration with the analogous experiments, which will be carried out in other countries.

NM-P1: MARIBOR

Project partner: municipality of Maribor (SLO)

• Determination of the criteria to evaluate the procedure in implementation and for success control.
• The evaluation the procedure in implementation will be tested on the basis of concrete case studies: protection of the quality of the soil in the underground water protection area is very important. So we are going to study how the soil evaluation technique can be used and implemented in the case of planning procedures on this water protection area.
• Assessment of case studies on the basis of fixed criteria.

NM-P2: ZRH

Project partner: city of Zurich (CH)

• ZRH will test and apply the instrument of soil evaluation in selected partner municipalities.
• ZRH will test the soil evaluation technique in the City of Zurich and in the City of Chur.
