Preciso coast
Cognitive Framework of marine and coastal areas and public defense works.
Urban expansion creates increasing pressure on coastal
areas, along with land use change, growing tourism and
construction of large infrastructures.

Applications

To control this phenomenon it is absolutely imperative to

characterize and monitor the physical situation of the
coastal system, from the prospective of sustainable
growth at regional, provincial and local level.

Coastal defence

Territorial Planning

SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment)

Tourism management

Monitoring of Posidonia

Preciso coast offers an update cognitive framework on

the state of the coast and public defence works.

Quality of water

It is designed to support Urban Planning in coastal areas,

planning and management of natural areas and parks,
monitoring of Posidonia and management of state
maritime property.

Key Benefits

Target
Public administration (State Maritime Property Office,
Coastal Departments, Territorial Planning); Planners and
Professionals.

Support tools for territorial planning

Clarity in criteria for the management of coastal

tourism

Easy and careful analysis of coastal changes

Immediate identification of anthropic and natural

changes

Technical characteristics
Preciso coast permits the classification of every
length of coast regarding its morphology and other
variations (expansion, retraction or stability).
Works on ports are identified and classified
according to type and use (industrial/commercial
port, quay, dock, military port, etc.), while public
defence works are surveyed and categorized by type
(submerged and raised rocks, armoured delta, etc.)

It is also possible to add DTM, where available,

which permits the 3D visualization of data.
(*)

Where there are historical data, informative levels

can be supplied for each era, giving the dynamic
trend of the coast.

Case History

The product is made up of geometrically congruent

georeferenced layers(*):

Preciso coast was created for the local

administration of Comune di Follonica to support
urban planning.

Statistical indicators

Preciso Italia orthoimages

Through Preciso italia orthophoto, photointerpretation and classification of the coastline, the
beach limited and the raised beaches was possible,
as well as a census of maritime works.
Using comparative analysis with 2007 aerial
orthophotos, coastal trend were defined, represented
through geospatial indicators which were used to
support planning for new interventions and works.
