Book excerpt: As an outcome of our research project, we developed software and data for the Lakebed Alteration Decision Support Tool (LADST), a web-based decision support program to assist resource managers in making siting decisions for offshore wind farms (as well as other lakebed-altering projects) in the United States' waters of the Great Lakes. Users of the LADST can create their own offshore wind farm suitability maps, based upon suitability criteria of their own choosing by visiting a public web site. The LADST can be used to represent the different priorities or values of different Great Lakes stakeholders for wind farm siting, as well as the different suitability requirements of wind farms (or different types of development projects) in a single suitability analysis system. The LADST makes this type of customized suitability analysis easily accessible to users who have no specialized software or experience with geographic information systems (GIS). It also may increase the transparency of the siting and permitting process for offshore wind farms, as it makes the suitability analysis equally accessible to resource managers, wind farm developers, and concerned citizens.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the design and implementation of a web-based Participatory Geographic Information System (PGIS) framework intended for offshore wind suitability analysis. The PGIS prototype presented here integrates GIS and decision-making tools that are intended to involve different stakeholders and the public for solving complex planning problems and building consensus. Public involvement from the early planning stage of projects with a spatial nature is very important for future legitimacy and acceptance of these projects. Therefore, developing and executing a system that facilitates effective public involvement for resolving contentious issues can help fostering long-lasting agreements. The prototype here is a distributed and asynchronous PGIS that combines a discussion forum, mapping tool and decision tool. The PGIS is implemented following a thin-client server environment with three-tier architecture and the potential strengths and benefits of this PGIS are demonstrated in a hypothetical case study in Lake Erie, northern Ohio. In the hypothetical case study, participants evaluate the importance of three decision alternatives using different evaluation criteria for expressing their individual preferences. The individual preferences are aggregated by the Borda Count (BC) method for generating the group solution, which is used for synthesizing the different evaluation aspects such as the importance of criteria, ranking of the decision alternatives and planning issues related to environmental and socio-economic concerns from the participants.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a prototype methodology for use in the Great Lakes for pre- and post-development assessment of inshore fish habitat, focusing on shoreline development projects that involve construction of headlands or offshore structures such as islands. The purpose of the methodology is to provide a quantitative, defensible assessment protocol which project proponents and fish managers can use to assess compliance of projects with the federal policy of no net loss of fish habitat in development. The protocol combines published habitat requirements of three thermal guilds of Great Lakes fishes with areal estimation of lost or modified inshore habitat. The method also attempts to estimate adjacent habitat indirectly affected by the structures. A case study of a marina in Hamilton Harbour illustrates use of the protocol in assessing such matters as the effect of the development on fish habitat suitability and fish productivity.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land-use conflicts in facility siting can trigger public opposition in communities. A negative public perception, such as the Not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) attitude, is a planning issue that is strongly associated with some types of siting decisions. After the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) program through the Green Energy Act was introduced in Ontario in 2009, a large number of wind farm developments were proposed and implemented. Public concerns regarding the noise and aesthetic impacts of wind turbines have created public resistance and caused project delays. More importantly, the wind farm siting decision making process is a top-down process, which overrides the power of municipalities and ignores public concerns towards wind farms. In this thesis, a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) siting approach has been developed, which is capable of representing the potential noise and visual impacts caused by wind turbines in a wind farm siting process. After identifying a sample of feasible sites in Southern Ontario, the noise and visual impact assessment approaches were applied to estimate the affected-population by wind farm sites. The changes of suitability levels within each feasible site can be determined after the integration of noise and visual criteria with the common siting criteria, which include physical, environmental, planning and economic factors. This siting approach is generalizable, which means it can be applied to other facility developments that have potential noise and visual impacts to the public. The results illustrate the spatial changes of suitability level before and after introducing the noise and visual criteria into the siting process. Planners and decision makers could potentially apply this siting approach to address public concerns in the future wind farm siting decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to assist scientists, engineers, technicians and other resource managers in the evaluation of wetland boundaries and characteristics. Powerful tools - GIS, mapping, remote sensing - are described and demonstrated using practical applications and combined to yield landscape ecological data, and ecological risk assessments. Using numerous technical methods, Wetland Landscape Characterization shows you how to evaluate the presence of wetlands, and the stressors, exposures and ecological systems - streams, lakes, terrestial - that influence their condition. A vital component of the book is the variety of quality assurance/quality control and accuracy assessment techniques presented throughout the text. A thorough understanding of these methods is critical to the success of your project.
