Exploring geovisualisations as place based planning tools for collaborative marine and coastal management

海洋和沿海系统提供广泛的生态系统服务，具有重要的经济和社会意义。对这些复杂和高度动态领域的有效管理需要对这些系统、它们的过程、影响它们的各种空间和时间因素以及如何感知它们有广泛的了解。因此，该项目的目的是利用尖端制图技术开发工具和情景，使广泛的海洋利益相关者和沿海社区了解管理方案对环境、社会和经济价值和利益的潜在影响，并使其参与其中。被任命的人还将与利益攸关方合作，评估他们设计的工具，以评估其潜在用途及其对海洋场所的代表性。他们将获得与海洋素养、利益相关者参与、生态影响和地理可视化相关的理论知识。此外，他们还将获得与处理、分析和评估各种大型空间数据集相关的应用知识和技术专长，以及开发现实地理可视化的高级技能。他们还将与一个由研究人员、规划人员、利益相关者和管理人员组成的跨学科团队合作，进一步发展他们在利益相关者参与方面的技能，并发展他们更广泛的专业网络。

Marine and coastal systems provide a wide range of ecosystem services that have significant economic and societal importance. Effective management of these complex and highly dynamic areas requires a broad understanding of these systems, their processes, the various spatial and temporal factors that influence them and how they are perceived. Therefore the aim of this project is to develop tools and scenarios using cutting edge mapping technology to both inform and engage a broad range of marine stakeholders and coastal communities about the implications of management options in terms of their potential effects on environmental, social and economic values and interests. The appointed person will also work with stakeholders to evaluate the tools they design to assess their potential usefulness and their representation of marine places. They will obtain both theoretical knowledge related to ocean literacy, stakeholder participation, ecological impact, and geovisualisation. In addition, they will also gain applied knowledge and technical expertise associated with handling, analysing and assessing a variety of large spatial datasets as well as advanced skills in developing realistic geovisualisations. They will also work and engage with a transdisciplinary team of researchers, planners, stakeholders and managers to further develop their skills in stakeholder engagement and develop their wider professional networks.
