    Citizen-oriented Environmental Information Services: Usage and Impact
    (Informatics for Environmental Protection - Networking Environmental Information, 2005) Karatzas, Kostas; Endregard, Geir; Fløisand, Inga
    Citizens are interested in making use of EI services that allow them to have a better overview of the quality of the environment they live in. In addition, such services support environmental awareness and advance the understanding concerning the result that everyday human activity and tasks have to the quality of human life. Yet, the lack of sufficient EI services being made available to citizens, poses difficulties when one needs to draw certain qualitative or quantitative conclusions concerning their usage and impact. An additional difficulty results from the complexity of the human behaviour and the parameters influencing it, as part of the approach that one needs to apply when trying to study changes in human behaviour as resulting from the usage of contemporary electronic EI services. In the frame of the present paper, information concerning the usage, content variation and perception of air quality related, stateof- the-art, electronic information services, are presented, on the basis of the APNEE-TU project outcomes. For this purpose, information resulting from the field trials of certain EI services is used. Conclusions are drawn concerning the concept, the content and the acceptance of such services.

    ENV-e-CITY is a European Commission supported e-content project that aims to develop an internet-based service for environmental information related applications. The motivation of this project lies in the need of European cities to perform assessments for complying with the EU environmental legislation, as well as the requirement for efficient environmental impact assessments. The e-content domain considered extends over four environmental application areas: air emission, air quality, topography, and meteorology. The application framework includes meta-data structures for these domains, export and import filters, interfaces and typical e-content services. The user community of the platform envisaged consists of city authorities, consultants involved in environmental impact assessment studies as well as citizens desiring valid information on the state of the atmospheric environment. An initial set of electronic information services is currently under development and will be demonstrated on the basis of the various user categories.
