Study / analysis "navigability" Usti n. L., South Bohemia, Central Bohemia and Saxony-Anhalt

The pilot actions, developed in cooperation of German and Czech partners, are in many ways an interesting challenge. First, transnational focuses were identified that are related to navigability, such as flood risk, environment, climate change and economic aspects. Each region must meet specific requirements – for some regions spatial planning issues are of special importance, for others social cohesion is more important. Another challenge is the fact that the issue of navigability of the Rivers Elbe and Saale has in the recent past became a "hot topic" in public debate, especially in Germany: Many studies since the flood in year 2002 testify that in this respect ecological and economic interests are diverging. The LABEL actions should sum up the very complex debate with the objective to consolidate economical and ecological aspects. Moreover, a process involving stakeholders from different areas has already been started.
