[[wiki:manfred|MANFRED]] and [[wiki:econnect|Econnect]] presented GIS based tool for sharing the spatial data related to projects’ topic ([[http://servizi.terraria.com/manfred/index.html|census of extreme events]]; [[http://www.alpine-space.eu/fileadmin/media/Running_Projects/Econnect/Econnect_-_Results/ECONNECT_Final_Booklet_EN.pdf|JECAMI]]). Enhancing landscape connectivity and reducing forest fragmentation would increase health, vitality and diversity of alpine forest ([[wiki:manfred|MANFRED]]) therefore JECAMI ([[wiki:econnect|Econnect]]) could be used wider, e.g. for forest management and monitoring purpose. [[wiki:econnect|Econnect]], [[wiki:share|SHARE]] and [[wiki:permanet|PermaNET]] presented different GIS based tool that could help spatial planers to use the space in a way to preserve the natural habitats and also to allow a sustainable production of “green energy” and a sustainable infrastructure development. The [[http://www.geo.uzh.ch/microsite/cryodata/PF_map_explanation.html|Alpine Permafrost Index Map]] ([[wiki:permanet|PermaNET]]), available as a GIS layer, is intended for practitioners such as public authorities or individuals involved in the construction and maintenance of infrastructure in mountain areas.
