| dc.description.abstract | Light pollution represents a global environmental issue which is currently less acknowledged than other forms of pollution, while having direct negative consequences on energy consumption, human health, fauna, flora, and safety. Solutions to mitigate light pollution from existing lighting systems, or to design new light pollutionfree systems can be clearly identified based on a review of available technologies and regulations. However, an actual change in the approach to light pollution is yet to happen. One of the approaches to this problem in Italy has been represented by the BuioMetria Partecipativa (participatory dark sky monitoring) project, an original initiative now in its fourth year. This project provides an original combination of information techno logies, environmental monitoring techniques, and communication, oriented to the collection of scientific light pollution data, and to awareness raising of citizens on this issue. The article provides a basic description of this project and of its planned developments at the national and European level. | de |
