Identifying opportunities for intervention Sample Clauses

Identifying opportunities for intervention. Chapters 4 and 5 have described a spectre of methodologies to identify opportunities, related to modelling and simulation, impact assessment diagrams, databases and simplified design guidelines, all based on each other but valid for distinct purposes, detail and target groups. During the third workshop exercise these approaches and methodologies were discussed for their capacity to identify opportunities for intervention and assess the correct type and extent of action: Simplified design guidelines Simulation, modelling and mapping Quantitative indicators Impact and connectivity diagrams A first approach “Simplified design guidelines” was represented by an illustration of a generic urban built environment surrounded by guidelines for improving its resilience (Figure 11) Figure 11: An example of simplified design guidelines for resilient architecture and infrastructure The second approach “Simulation, modelling and mapping” was represented by an ESPON map of potential climate change on settlements (ESPON Climate 2011), as shown in Figure 12 (see also §10.2). Figure 12: ESPON Climate, 2011. ESPON Climate - Climate Change and Territorial Effects on Regions and Local Economies. Scientific Report (Final Report No. Version 31/5/2011), Applied Research 2013/1/4. ESPON 2013 Programme: European observation network on territorial development and cohesion, Luxembourg. As an example of a third type of approach “Quantitative indicators” a spatial indicator system by Bourdic et al (2012) was shown (see Table 12 for partial representation, and §10.10 for the entire table).
