3. The evolution of Earth Observation (EO) systems will make available new scenarios for the development of innovative methodologies aimed to the study of environmental phenomena. Scientific framework Dr Monica Salvia, SIEE 2012 – China-Italy Innovation Forum The main challenge is to develop new methodologies for the analysis and integration of data coming from multiplatform sensors with a different spatial, temporal and spectral resolution (Sensor Synergy) in order to analyze complex environmental processes in compliance with the guidelines of international programmes such as GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) and GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security). Integrating multiresolution observing systems with innovative technological platforms and ICT architectures in compliance with the contents of the Digital Earth and Citizen Science programs will pave the way for new applicative scenarios for the study of a wider range of environmental phenomena and the release to public authorities of innovative services and products.

4. Smart Cities in Italy and the Basilicata case study Dr Monica Salvia, SIEE 2012 – China-Italy Innovation Forum Up till now in Italy independent initiatives have been carried out by local governments without a common national strategy. A recent study on the Smart Cities in Italy (ABB, 2012) pointed out that: “ high fragmentation and dispersion of initiatives, tendency to organize initiatives in isolation and extremely disparate nature of solutions under the generic heading of “smart””. Basilicata is a small region of the Southern Italy representing only 3.3% of the Italian surface and with a population density of about 60.8 inhabitants per square kilometres, definitely under the Italian national average (about 200 inh./sq.km). Basilicata is divided into 2 provinces, Potenza and Matera, and includes 131 municipalities of which 100 falling under the Potenza Province’s administration. The regional territory is interested by two National Parks as well as the most large oil reservoir of continental Europe.

5. Peculiarities of SMART Basilicata Dr Monica Salvia, SIEE 2012 – China-Italy Innovation Forum Based on a careful analysis of the local economic, social and technological framework it intends to contribute to the main European initiatives on energy and climate issues at local/urban level. SMART Basilicata proposes a systemic approach to the Basilicata region as an “ urban sprawl " in order to move towards a “smart community" through the identification and development of innovative technology solutions for sustainable energy and environmental management, mobility, social participation and the use of smart services by Public Administrations and citizens. The aim is to provide a boost and a comprehensive framework to the transition towards a smart configuration of the local territorial system, by: developing experimental methods based on the integration of advanced technologies of Earth Observation and ICT. carrying out studies on the territory for Public Administrations, considering technical and economic feasibility of such projects implementing small-scale demonstrators, replicable in other contexts

8. Struttura generale del progetto Dr Monica Salvia, SIEE 2012 – China-Italy Innovation Forum This 30-month project (starting in early 2013) is structured around five main operating objectives which are smartly integrated in a systematic approach towards a more sustainable configuration of the regional “widespread town” WP1 SMART NATURAL RESOURCES WP2 SMART ENERGY WP3 SMART MOBILITY WP4 SMART CULTURE AND TOURISM WP5 SMART PARTICIPA TION Smart Environment represents the central core of this approach and is strictly interrelated with the other spheres of action. These operating objectives are split into several activities involving: - industrial research (IR), and - experimental development (ED) which will be carried out in strict synergy among the partners, taking out the most from the public and private competences available on the regional territory.
