Report on indicator sets and touristic processes
This Deliverable reports on operationalising the concept of Urban Metabolism and therefore summarises the developed pragmatic approach to evaluate the environmental and socio‐economic characteristics of pilot cases. The finally selected indicator sets, cross‐checked with the 11 URBANWASTE Pilot Cases regarding suitability, practicability and data availability, that will be used for assessing the status quo in the URBANWASTE pilot cases within Task 2.6 are presented. Information regarding which indicator sets are aligned to those touristic processes that are considered as the relevant hotspots in touristic processes in terms of waste generation (“accommodation” and “food and beverage provision for tourists”) is provided. The connection between the final selected methodology (D2.2) and the chosen indicators is given. This deliverable summarises the URBANWASTE conceptual framework as well as chosen methodology to describe and assess the tourism related waste flows and their environmental impacts in urban areas. Based on the basic metabolism concept the ependencies of waste flows on specific determinants like lifestyle, infrastructure and capacities are included. Urban Patterns, Drivers and Lifestyle therefore were included in the waste related final set of multi layered indicators. This Deliverable is an important input for the development of the database template within WP 2 Task 2.4 as it produces as an output a list of data (indicator sets) that have to be collected from the pilot cities/partner municipalities (within Task 2.5). These indicator sets represent the underlying data needed to calculate the impacts for the status quo assessment performed within Task 2.6.
