Unified Identification of Landscape Vulnerability and Methodology for designing Adaptation Measures with Special Emphasis on Ecosystem Functions (JIZKES)
The main objective of the project is to create a joint mapping portal intended for assessing landscape vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, that contains a methodological framework for the design of various adaptation measures, based on prepared analyses of landscape vulnerability and a parallel assessment of the degree of fulfilment of selected ecosystem functions and services (EFS).
Specific objectives:
- To compare national landscape vulnerability analysis approaches.
- To apply national methodologies to the territory of the other country through pilot studies.
- To develop a unified approach for the entire area of interest in the cross-border regions of Czechia and Slovakia.
Project phases:
- Carrying out landscape vulnerability analysis in both the Czech and the Slovak Republics.
- Conducting ecosystem services analysis.
- Applying the ecosystem functions and services (EFS) concept approach.
- Development of a methodology for designing adaptation measures for individual categories of landscape vulnerability.
