Use of integrated air quality management tools in urban areas as an improvement in environmental decision making process from the game theory point of view
- Aristotle Univ., Thessaloniki (Greece)
Until now air quality information and management systems dealt mainly with air domain related issues, thus not including the influence of other environmental domains on the urban air quality. In addition, air quality modelling tools usage is limited due to the constrains in time and hardware at the application domain, the complexity in the use of full 3D air quality models being also a disadvantage from the end-user point of view. The air quality related environmental decision making process in urban areas is supported by management facilities and takes place in an administrative layer (division or department). In the present paper the development of a dynamic modular urban air quality management methodology and tool is presented, making use of Web based applications and telematics aspects. The use of such tools for the improvement of decision making is validated via a game theory approach.
