The Target Audience
The Fourth Framework Programme on telematics
applications has promoted an exploratory action on
the environment. This action has demonstrated the
usefulness of telematics solutions for protecting and
improving the environment. At the same time the
action has enhanced the role of the users in the up-take
of technological solutions for an environmental
friendly and sustainable Information Society.The Good Practice report can assist anyone working in the environmental field where telematics can be a considerable assistance. Specifically, the report is intended to reach those with either a professional interest in the latest research or those to whom the latest telematic systems in environmental management are of importance.
The report has not been prepared as a technical report on the complexities of telematics, but as an accessible entry into a technical subject. It is envisaged that the report will be of importance both for telematics experts with a need to broaden the application of their expertise into environmental management,and for environmentalists with a requirement to use the latest in telematic research to further their environmental interests.
The report will be of particular importance to:
- Air and water quality managers, in the fields of pollution abatement, public information supply and cross-discipline liaison
- Water resource managers, in relation to supply and emergency management
- Environmental regulators with particular reference to transport and industrial management
- Public watchdogs,community organisations and NGOs with interests in environmental management and information supply
