Zusammenfassung
The EPSILON project introduces a model and a tool to assess sustainability at regional level for the EU countries. The sustainability model uses a significant number of indicators organized in a four-level hierarchy. It is based on readily available data found in EU and international databases. A software tool integrates the EPSILON model into a Geographic Information System (GIS), operational via the Web. This paper presents different models and techniques which have been developed within the framework of the EPSILON project: a model for assessing regional sustainability, a model for measuring data quality, a space model including a new clustering algorithm and data generation through GIS techniques.
