Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Development and territorial cohesion in island regions constitute tricky planning and policy issues due to the inherent structural problems such fragmented places exhibit. Dealing with these issues implies the need to
\ncapture, comprehend and properly manage island territories in a holistic and integrated way, taking into consideration both their spectacular and valuable natural and cultural assets, and the physical barriers and their impacts on the economy, society, government, accessibility, etc.
\nIn handling islands\u2019 inefficiencies, this workshop aims to get insight into the strengths but also the structural weaknesses of various types of island regions; and explore the potential of technological developments and their applications for effectively dealing with such inefficiencies in these, largely neglected, European territories.
\nFocusing on the main strengths and weaknesses of insular territories as well as the current technological developments and their potential for coping with islands\u2019 development lag, the concept of \u201cSmart Islands\u201d is explored by critically focusing on (but not limited to) the following issues:<\/div>\n
[1]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Exploration of current national and international initiatives, knowledge and practice on the topic of smart islands\u2019 development;
\n[2]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Identification of strengths and structural weaknesses of various types of island regions;
\n[3]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Exploration of the use of technological advances for establishing strong links among productive sectors in insular communities and creating value chains as a driving force for adding value in the economy and society of island territories;
\n[4]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Potential smart applications for serving environmental, societal and sectoral needs and goals of island regions, with special emphasis on smart governance and spatial data management for place-based decision-making and monitoring of spatial dynamics in island contexts.
\n[5]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Integrated participatory planning in island regions as essential tool for setting up effective strategies and related policy paths for sustainable and resilient resource management and more promising future development trails of island communities.
\n[6]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Delineation of practical or theoretical guidelines or strategies for establishing smartness in “fragile” insular spatial contexts, also in terms of mobility and distributive logistics.
\n[7]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Consideration of technology at the service of islands\u2019 sustainability, resilience, cultural development, citizens\u2019 empowerment and engagement, strengthening of identity and social ties, etc.Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.
\nEngineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.<\/div>\n
