Decision Support for TT Hue

• 1) Decision support needs experts for application
  of tools, analysis of results and advise to
  government.
• 2) Therefore we propose to create a local base of
  trained people and sustainable basis for training
  and education in Hue.
• 3) This can be achieved by involving the
  University and strengthening the capability of
  the College of Sciences.

A Decision Support System (DSS) project for TT Hue

• ? supports ICZM Strategy and Action Plan
• ? fills the gap between VNICZM project and its
  successor VICZMP
• ? has long term scope, but interim results
  possible each year (modular architecture)
• ? gives input to socio-econ. development plan 2009

Why do we need a DSS?

• To assist the decision maker in pursuing
  sustainable development of the Hue area
• To better understand the natural and
  socio-economic systems, their relations and
  drivers
• To provide a framework for cooperation between
  different institutes (sharing of knowledge and
  data)
• To use as a basis for modernized environmental
  education, training and research

What do we require for Decision Support?

• Implementation of tools for TT-Hue, within
  framework of ICZM Strategy and Action plans.
• Co-operation between departments and
  universities.
• Centre of expertise to maintain, apply tools and
  analyse results and provide advise
• Training and education strategy to provide long
  term people base to allow self sustaining
  decision support (involvement of Hue University
  College of Science).
