Problem focussed
Present land use results in
drying land and exposed society and economy
in local communities.
Structural Trap
· effects
(eg. emissions or crime)
· functioning
(eg. land use, water mgmt.)
· structures
(eg. infrastr., patterns, policies)
· values
(eg. ,,consumer society")

Solution suggested
To reduce bad effects need big changes.
No way for big changes ( srtuctural trap)
Try to change locally. (ILD)
adaptive and water efficient LUC
in some parcells
in pilots
And disseminate

Project structure 1.
ICPDR Tisza Group,
UNDP administration
National parterns
(scientific and
aaministrative
organizations)

SZÖVET /ALT in Nagykör
(HU)
Local partners
(sectoral authorities,
Zenta municip.
Agora NGO
local governance,
farmers, etc.)
(RS)
(RO)

Project structure 2.
Output 1 - ILD protocol - institutional framework
(scientific,legal and management situation,
economic circumstances)

Output 2 - Implementation the ILD at Nagykör
sites (field works)
Output 3 - Dissemination both up and down
(multinational, national and local level)

Task 1
·
To summarise foundational works on LUC in
pilot sites (digesting and complementing data,
introducing results)

evaluating recent land use

demonstrating alternative land use (ILD
necessities and potentialities)

seeking out land users to inform them personally

scheduling works for LUC (for implementation of
ILD)

managing the implementation (setting lessons,
arranging dissemination)

Task 2
·
To complete LUC in selected pilot sites on the active
floodplain (arranging administration, setting parcells,
improving conditions for pasturage eg. removing
unproper vegetation, confining adventive species,
fencing)

arable land grazing forest

arable land floodplain lake

Task 3
·
To adapt selected canals to serve ILD on protected
floodplain

,,soft" improvement: adapting working method of
canals for water allocation

,,hard" improvement:
·
adapting morfological characteristics of canals to
natural channels (slope and course correction -
as far as possible)
·
building lateral outlets to let out the water and
collect the surplus volume (steering by sluices)

Task 4
·
To change the land use on selected sites, adapting vegetation to
elevation (arable land wetland in former riverbeds)

,,soft" improvement: administration of LUC, fitting parcels to
elevation

,,hard" improvement: morphological and biological
implementation
·
some earthworks to accentuate and actuate different
elevations (improving inland-water steering)
·
improving flora fit to elevations to promote evolution of the
natural pattern (implementing green corridors)

Task 5
·
To put improved ILD protocol into practice on regions
belonged to partners

evaluating the local land and circumstances
(identifying possible sites for case studies)

defining the locally adaptive ILD for establishing
LUC

informing the stakeholders about lessons learned,
getting a local initiative under way

Project sites and reach

Pilot areas in Nagykör (HU)
on protected floodplain
on active floodplain

Land consolidation
in the active floodplain
arable land OR
integrated fp. usage

Sluice to controll the water in lateral trench

water retention

pastoring in active floodplain
on a former arable land

pilot area
at the protected side of floodplain

present situation at protected floodplain

Project methods
· Adaptive land use and water management
· Stakeholder attitude survey & forming
· Soil and habitat evaluation & suggestion
· Legal background evaluation & suggestion
· International examples & learnings
· Implement in small size but in full circle
· ,,Be local" & ,,Traditions are sustainable"

Project activities
(2009 march-oct)
· Scientific background
· Legal framework (policies, Q for attitudes)
· Workshops (in all sites collect data &
disseminate methods/results)
· Field works (soil evaluation)
· administration...

A módszertan elemei
· Informatikai (térinformatikai) feladatok
Talajtani adatbázis építés
Mobil terepi felvételezi rendszer kialakítása
· Terepi talajtani felvételezés
Felvételi helyszínek kiválasztása és felkeresése
Részletes
talajtani,
szennyezettségi,
talajökológiai és talajhidrológiai felvételezés
Laboratóriumi vizsgálatok
· Térinformatikai munka
Talajtani adatbázis feltöltése
Talajfolt határok aktualizálása

A szelvény feltárása

A helyszín és a talajszelvény leírása

i
A talajrétegek jellemz inek dokumentálása

Mintavétel (talajszelvény alapú és tábla
szint)

...és mérések

Expectations & learnings
· Full demonstratation of LUC in the papers
· Full documentation of LUC in the field through different
problems
· Results on inplementation of LUC
· It is hard to do, beacuse of external circumstances (pol.,
econ., burokracy, attitudes //structural trap)
· Internal necessities (project reports HR)

Thank you for attention
