The SCAPEFIRE is a research project funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), reference n.º PCIF/MOS/0046/2017, in progress between 2019 and 2022. It aims to propose a landscape planning model that contributes to the prevention of rural fires, considering the landscape’s ecological, economic and social sustainability.
i) the involvement of stakeholders
ii) determining the ecological and socioeconomic conditions that lead to greater vulnerability to fire and associated soil loss;
iii) construction of a conceptual model that encompasses the assumptions underlying the team perspective;
iv) application of this conceptual model to case studies representative in terms of ecological diversity and vulnerability to fire;
v) economic evaluation of the model to be adopted based on the valuation of benefits (ecosystem services), including the ones that are not traded in the conventional markets;
vi) the rationale for a collective type of ethics that allows different levels of intervention on the landscape to be framed;
vii) critical evaluation of plans and policies with proposals for change.
i) Consult stakeholders and co-design solutions (task1)
ii) Mapping of landscape typologies, relating vulnerability to rural fires and its potential impacts e.g. runoff and soil loss (Task 2) based on ecological and socioeconomic variables. This data will allow the analysis of landscape’s vulnerability to fire and its potential impacts, allowing also prioritizing intervention areas.
iii) Developing a CONCEPTUAL MODEL of Land-use planning in the perspective of rural fires prevention and landscape sustainability (Task 3) for each of the most representative landscape typologies (Task 2) based on available scientific knowledge and the results of the stakeholder’s discussions (Task 1). These conceptual models will be tools for dissemination of the Project and public awareness (Task 3).
iv) Developing LAND-USE PLANS for every case study (Task 4), with different scenarios supported by economic analysis (Task 5). These plans include specific landscape plans for the villages and updating the land use plans in force, and supporting funding programs applications.
v) Valuating ecosystem services associated with multifunctional agroforestry systems, towards an economic support of the proposed land-use plans (Task 5).
vi) A dissertation on ethics of multi-level landscape intervention, with expert’s participation to complement the proposed intervention (Task 6)
vii) A report on a critical analysis of the land-use and forestry plans in force as well as the financial programs, focusing on the poor articulation between them (Task 7). This report will include proposals for amendments that may prove necessary.
viii) It is also expected to enrich the EPIC WebGIS platform and disseminate results (Task 8)
