2. What’s GIS ?  Integration of 5 basic components People Data Procedures www.esri.com

3. GIS Technology  GIS platforms provide a useful tool to organize, analyze and illustrate geographically linked data  GIS technology facilitates:  handling objects in geographic space  better knowledge based on spatial data and events  maps digital storage as database structured in layers of spatial referenced information, based on international units (metter)   automatic scale transformation  software conversion between Geographic Coordinate Systems  spatial analysis functions for multiple correlations inside or between layers

4. GIS - Benefits  Improvement of organisational and planning activities  Support for decision making  Improvement of geodatabase design and management  Reduction of redundant information in geodatabase  Integration of information from multiple data sources  New data providing by queries and complex analyses of geographical (related) data

5. GIS - Integrated Approach Noise levels distribution Residential areas Industrial areas Roads Hydrology Landscape Level lines  Various types of information  Geographical information  Industrial facilities  Demography  Hydrology  Land use  Roads, railways  Human health and safety information  Natural risk areas  Risk areas  Environmental monitoring networks  Protected areas  Habitats and biotops  Meteo data, aso

7. Nuclear Power Plants & Environmental Protection  Finding the appropriate location :  Risks:  Seismic (Geomorphology and seismic maps)  Hydrology (Floods, Drought)  Exposed population (localities, no. of inhabitants)  Protected areas (special protected areas, sites of community interest)  Estimated areas of impact (air, water, soil) under ordinary conditions and/or accident  Others:  Access (railways, roads, landscape, waterways)

8. Nuclear Power Plants & Environmental Protection  During operation and after closure:  Monitoring networks (radioactivity levels in air, soil, water) – sources / receptors  Health and safety monitoring (effects of human exposure by radioactivity intake, incidence of related diseases a.s.o.)  Survey on the site for nuclear waste storage  Register of events
