FROM THE COMMON GOAL TO THE AIM OF PROVINCE OF VERCELLI
COMMON GOAL limit and offset the
negative effects of RES plants in the
territories and landscapes of the
Mediterranean
TOOL find a valuation method that can
integrate landscapes with the planning
and energy policies
THE PROVINCE WILL:
- Conform the PTCP Legislative Decree
387/2003 (the national rule that
promotes and regulates the installation
of RES plants).
- Update the provincial guidelines
energy.
THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE PROVINCIAL PLAN
OF TERRITORIAL COORDINATION (PTCP)
The PTCP considers the totality of the province
and is the planning tool that defines the land with
reference to the interests above the local level.
The PTCP was drawn up with particular attention
to landscape and sets out prescriptive rules.
The PTCP is a useful tool for evaluating the
spatial coherence of new RES plants.
The PTCP defines regulations, compensations
and environmental mitigations.
The aim is to supplement PTCP with rules
usefull for evaluation method
UPDATING OF PROVINCIAL GUIDELINES
The Energetic Provincial
Guidelines contain information to
protect the soil with good and
excellent productivity.
The PTCP will have legal
significance while the Energetic
Provincial Guidelines will provide
directions and trend.
PROPOSED METHOD
Through the method that we intend to propose and discuss
together, we should arrive to define a set of homogeneous
areas, from a landscape point of view, more or less suitable
to accommodate the different types of RES plants.
This method will be experimented with the settlement of an
Action Plan developed in the Pilot Project Area.
VERCELLI PILOT PROJECT AREA
Through the method that we intend to
propose and discuss together, we should
arrive to define a set of homogeneous
areas, from a landscape point of view, more
or less suitable to accommodate the
different types of RES plants.
This method will be experimented with the
settlement of an Action Plan developed in
the Pilot Project Area.
TYPES OF RES PLANTS
Our territory is mainly suited to
accommodate photovoltaic and biomass
RES plants.
Also if Vercelli is called “the land of water”
nowadays water is not used to produce
energy at all.
The plan aims to “prohibit” the issuance of
new permits to protect water resources.
A PROPOSED METHOD
What it is important to stress is that the Province of Vercelli has a much detailed
and updated information and data base system, both concerning landscape and
energy.
Thus recently the Province has worked to the Landscape Regional Plan. In this
occasion the Province tested and specified data and information of the Plan
referring also to the provision of the General Province Plan
The method to develop referring to the pilot project area is as follow:
Defining the knowledge framework
The aim is to identify the information needed to define the kowledge framework,
the Province of Vercelli first analyzes and develops the information system in the
various instruments operating in the area of landscape planning.
ANALYSIS AND MAKING SYSTEM OF INFORMATION IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPE
a) analysis of the information compraised in the existing instruments of landscape
planning , referring to the area of intervention at various levels (PPR - PTCP - plans to
redevelop an area…);
b) the supply system of the data provided by the various instruments so that they are
constantly confronted in a common matrix;
c) Homogenization of the data entered (either by reference to the detail of the
information-metadata, both in relation to the scale of representation);
In order to build a strong and shared knowledge framework, it will be necessary to
develop or "systematize" a wide range of thematic analysis that aims to organize the
following main areas:
• nature (physical and ecosystem);
• historical and cultural;
•urban settlements;
• perceptual identity.
The structural framework, organized on these four key issues, will be represented on
one or more thematic maps that could be compiled on a scale of 1:25,000 and a level of
data capture at the 1:10.000 scale.
In the future steps of the project they will come to define the objectives of landscape, the
actions for achieving these objectives and the regulatory framework (guidelines,
directives and regulations).
In parallel with the analysis carried out on landscape, we will proceed with the analysis,
the development system and the definition of the objectives referring to RES, related the
pilot project area.
The outline of procedure, similar to that described for the landscape, start from the
analysis of the information contained in the existing energy planning, , at various levels
referring to the area of intervention (Regional Energy Plan, Provincial Guidelines);
The thematic analysis proposed for the construction of the available knowledge in the
field of RES will be shown in the interventions that follow.
All the information necessary to define the knowledge framework will be put together
into a Geo Database.
In the following speech will be shown the GIS system used by the Province of Vercelli.
The next intervention will describe our pilot project area, starting from the representation
of the current situation and proposes an initial review of the application of the proposed
method described above.
