Interest in VGI / COs

General• Potential of VGI/COs for supporting urban and environmental decision-

making (e.g. risk, management, planning, ..)Technical• Integration of official “expert” data (i.e. INSPIRE) with VGI/COs  "local

knowledge"Societal• Fostering diffusion of VGI/COs practices within environmental protection and

sustainable spatial (i.e. urban) governance

Interest in the ENV call

General:• Application of VGI/COs in environmental and urban risk management and

planning• Integration of expert knowledge and experiential "local knowledge" in spatial

and environmental decision-making processes  Specific:• Running pilots involving local communities (eg. municipal/provincial/regional)• Contribution to design and testing of VGIRisk• Awareness raising and involvement of local community (incl. Local

Authorities, planners/experts, and citizens) in Sardinia• Integration of expert (Regional) and local knowledge (VGI/COs) data sources,

validation  and reliability assessment for decision-support
