L'obiettivo di questa tesi è stato quello di creare e sistematizzare set di dati ambientali acquisiti durante quasi due decenni in siti costieri del Vietnam Centrale, (laguna di Tam Giang-Cau Hai) nelle Provincie di Thua Thien Hue e Quang Tri. Oltre ai parametri fisico-chimici, nel database sono stati inclusi indicatori biologici di integrità dell'ecosistema, nel tentativo di sviluppare un prontuario e linee guida per rivelare il grado di efficacia delle funzioni e dei servizi ecosistemici offerti dagli ambienti lagunari e zone umide Le pianure costiere e le zone umide offrono habitat e risorse naturali fondamentali per lo sviluppo e la sopravvivenza dell'umanità. Gli ecosistemi delle zone umide costiere offrono all’ uomo risorse naturali e servizi per un valore di trilioni di dollari ogni anno e apportando un contributo fondamentale alla prosperità delle comunità rivierasche. Con l'aumento della pressione demografica e la società moderna che brama acqua e risorse alimentari, la necessità di massimizzare questi benefici non è mai stata così grande o urgente. Nei paesi in via di sviluppo è fondamentale l'armonizzazione della conservazione ambientale e del progresso sociale. Le valutazioni del Millennium Ecosystem Assessment sono basate sul presupposto che esista una stretta relazione tra benessere e prosperità di una comunità e la sua sicurezza e resilienza: queste due condizioni sono strettamente legate alla salubrità dell'ambiente, alla sua efficacia nello svolgimento di funzioni indispensabili all’uomo e alla fornitura di servizi di supporto alla vita. Il seguente approccio è stato seguito per istituire un protocollo di analisi ambientale: - inventario degli ecosistemi e degli habitat; - sviluppo di indicatori oggettivamente verificabili e quantificabili per valutare lo stato di salute degli ecosistemi; - costruzione di un database relazionale ambientale a base GIS per scopi di pianificazione e gestione; - sviluppo di mappe tematiche utilizzando il telerilevamento.

Abstract
The objective of this thesis is to create and systematize environmental datasets acquired during a period of nearly two decades at set locations in Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon of Thua Thien Hue and Quang Tri Provinces. In addition to physico-chemical parameters, biological proxy indicators of ecosystem integrity were incorporated in the database, in attempt to develop a tool-box methodology to reveal the degree of effectiveness of lagoon and wetland ecosystem functions Coastal plains and wetlands have been privileged sites for human civilizations for millennia. Their habitats and resources have been critical to the development and survival of humanity. Wetland ecosystems are part of our natural assets, providing services worth trillions of US dollars every year and making a vital contribution to life. With increasing demographic pressure and modern society craving for water and food resources, the need to maximize these benefits has never been greater or more urgent. An issue in developing countries is to harmonize environmental conservation and social progress. Human conditions are linked to the state of the environmental where economic activities and social life are carried out. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment stemmed from the assumption that a close relationship between welfare and prosperity of a community, its security and resilience is related in a multi-faceted way to the salubrity of the environment and its effectiveness in performing functions and providing services supportive to human life. The following approach has been followed to set up a framework environmental conservation and human well-being: - inventory of ecosystems and habitats; - development objectively verifiable and quantifiable indicators to appraise the state of ecosystems; - establish a GIS-based environmental relational database to serve the purpose of planning, management and policy drafting; - develop thematic mapping for planning, using remote-sensing techniques.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
