= A Landscape System Analysis =

== A.1 Landscape layers and their system context ==
=== Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology ===
First of all in our area ,Dunquerke east, we identified the 3 keywords,as we can see, that return our image of thearea for us.
The first, ENVIRONMENTAL HERITAGE, highlights the strong presence of the natural historical heritage of the area which leads us to identify the second keyword:
TOURISM AND COMMERCE. Dunquerke area attracts a large tourist flow for its coast which performs a dual function, economic and environmental.
However, these two functions clashed with each other and the economic function prevailed over the environmental one. For these reasons the urbanized part subtracts soil from natural part; hence the choice of the third keyword is : LAND CONSUMPTION.

The characteristic elements of the coast are the sand dunes, are result of the natural effects produced by the wind and waves. The dunes outline the course of the soil which is slightly steep towards the sea. Moreover, these natural barriers mark the border between nature and urbanized environment, marked by docks.
The docks are the center of the anthropized system formed by the port and industries, tourist and economic centers.
These functions are in contrast with the surrounding naturalistic system but together they characterize the coast line of the area.

=== Land use ===
Dunkirk is characterized by three main functional areas: on the west side of our area, as we can see, there is an intensified presence of industrial activities because the port is the economic core of the area, the residential area is developed in the south area where there is a strong presence of historic buildings.
Therefore on the east side there is a residential area characterized by a resort because it is not industrialized and still in direct contact with the coast line.
All these functions, however, are not well connected to each other so in the future we assume that the predominant land use will be the infrastructure system.

File:Legenda1.JPG|''legend''
</gallery>

=== Green/blue infrastructure ===
The main green and blue infrastructure is the coast line. This is characterized, as previously mentioned, from the dunes and the largest run east of the Belgian coast. The "dunes flamandes" (Flemish dunes) run to the east on the Belgian border. It is an absolutely unique ecosystem that hosts hundreds of botanical species.
The beach is extended continuously over 15 km. Discovered at low tide, the vast zone is sometimes bordered by dunes.

The blue infrastructures are characterized by the presence of water channels that run into hinterland and by the port that divides the anthropic system from the naturalistic one. Green infrastructures are characterized by a large presence of green soil which differs from agricultural and woodland soil.
The connection between the green of the agricultural soils and the blue of the sea is interrupted by the presence of urbanized soil.

=== Actors and stakeholders ===
In Dunkerque the primary type of stakeholders is organizations and governmental associations in the area. The district is under the supervision of the municipality of Dunkerque which is one of the main stakeholders with a high level of interest and the influence. Therefore, the French National council for coastline is the highest-ranked interest organization in the area that is caring for landscape and it is responsible of the environmental issues of the area.
The council is nominee by the national government every 4 years.

Port industries also have a considerable influence as they strongly affect the economy of the area.
Local people, tourists, investors, and businessman are considering as the second type of stakeholders.
Each of them has a different role in the local society as they influence both social environmental and economic factors of the area.
They can lead by the first group of the stakeholders to improve and promote the development factors of the area of Dunkerque.

=== Sacred spaces and heritage ===

The place that more than any other in Dunkerque holds a strong cultural value is the port, which contributed to the birth and the development of the city itself over the centuries. It started out as a centre of herring fishing under the Counts of Flanders in the 11th century and began to engage in commercial traffic after 1350 as a result of contacts with Holland and England. Its expansion continued until the mid-18th century, alternating with the numerous bombings and reconstructions in the times of wars, which contributed to its modifications.

The skyline of Dunkerque is then spread out horizontally over the sea, that makes it easy to catch the vertical elements that rise over the civil buildings, like towers, bell towers and lighthouses, most of which are protected by '''UNESCO''' and represent a strong part of the cultural heritage of the city. Among the most relevant:

- La Tour du Leughenaer (1450)

- Le beffroi de Dunkerque (xv sec, monument historique depuis 1840)

- Le phare de Dunkerque ou phare du Risban (1842)

- L’hôtel de ville de Dunkerque (1897-1901, its belfry was declared a '''UNESCO World Heritage Site''' in 2005)

- Feu de Saint-Pol (1937)

Dunkirk was also the scene of the historic evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from France in May and June 1940. Known as Operation Dynamo, it was the largest evacuation of Allied forces during the Second World War. That's why the places of the wars that took place in Dunkerque had a great impact in changing the anthropic system of the city and, most of all, its symbolical value, with the introduction of many memorial sites and cemeteries (like the "Dunkirk Memorial", unveiled in Dunkerque on 29 June 1957 by Queen Elizabeth).

But the natural system of the city is rich in cultural heritage as well, thanks to the Dunes of the Flemish maritime plain, which characterize the coastline and are included in the List of Sites of Community interest for '''Natura 2000'''.

=== Visual appearance and landscape narrative ===

Due to its historical and symbolic value, Dunkerque has been the subject of several movies and visual artpieces:

'''“Week-end à Zuydcoote”''' (1964) and '''“Dunkirk”''' (2017), are just two of the famous movies which take place during Operation Dynamo in Second World War, under the German bombardments;

'''“Karnaval”''' (1999), instead, takes place during the traditional Dunkirk Carnival, catching another face of the cultural heritage of this land;

In the music field, the '''“Cantate à Jean Bart”''', popular "anthem" of Dunkerque, is a song played on the evening of the ''Dunkirk Band'' directly in front of the statue of the hero, where the crowd of "carnivals" meet and sing on their knees, with arms stretched towards the sky.

Also many painters, like ''Jean Baptiste Camille Corot'', ''Charles Ernest Cundall'', ''Paul Signac'' and many other local and contemporary artists, celebrated the beauty of Dunkerque’s landscape in their paintings, focusing on the coastal landscape with the sea and the sand dunes.

== A.2 Summary of your landscape system analysis and your development targets ==
''After our analysis we can explain the weakness and the strongness of Dunkerque by the DPSIR analysis model.
Surely our Driving Forces are the cultural points like Museum Dunkerque, Lieù d’Art et Action Contemporane de Dunkerque, FRAC and the two ship Duchesse Anne and Sandettiè. Another strenght is the turist beach like Malo les Bains.
About the Pressure, instead, one of the weakness is the impact given by the industries and the urban contest fragmentation. The States of the Green and Blu infrastructure are interrupted by the urban contest. A great value to improve the urban contest is given by the municipality that institueted the “Free Public Transport” which caused the economic growth and a less impact on the Climate change.
By this way the municipality try to Response to the problems that we have shown before.''

== A.3 Theory reflection ==
* ''Reflect on at least three international policy documents in relation to their local landscape case''
* ''choose one international, one European and one national document''
* ''You can choose references from our [[Reading_List_Coastal_Landscapes|reading list]]''
* ''Scope: 250 words''

== A.4 References ==
* ''give a full list of the references you have used for this section''

= Phase B: Landscape Evaluation and Assessment =
== B.1 Assessment Strategy ==
*''In the face of the analysis that we made on the area we found that we could operate at best on the zone by powering biodiversity, landuse and accessibility. This analysis has been confirmed by a survey addressed to Danquerke citizien which validate that we have been able to identify the focal points to ensure a densest and closer process of development and protection of the territory.''

== B.2 Mapping ==
*''As defined by your assessment strategy you conduct the mapping and present your findings here''
*''As a minimum, at least three different themes need to be mapped, you may choose more if needed''

<gallery caption=" " widths="500px" heights="200px" perrow="1">
File:Connections.jpg|''Two important themes emerge on this map. There are horizontal and vertical connections that connect Hinteland and the sea. Just a single axis does not reach the sea because it is closed by the barrier formed by the industrial area. A proposed project could be to connect the western part of the Dunkirk canal with the eastern part to bring it closer to the waterfront.''
File:Land use b2.jpg|''This map represents land use in terms of inhabited buildings, accommodation facilities, industries, agriculture and public green as they appear today. We observed these data on the basis of our previous analyzes and the questionnaire we submitted to the population of the area. The main urban changes date back to the second post-war period till 70s, however an increase in urbanized land in the coastal area can be noted in the last twenty years with a consequent increase in accommodation facilities, especially airbnbs (shown on the map with the red icon).''
File:Ecosysterm service dune.jpg|''From the mapping of ecosystem services and from the study on the biodiversity of the territory, it emerged that our study area, by its nature, offers many benefits. In particular, the coast has a great biodiversity with the presence of tree species on its dunes and the fauna of its waters. In the hinterland there are various protected green areas where the typical fauna of the area is safeguarded but unfortunately, there is a great economic tendency to exploit the coast through the port which makes polluted waters at the expense of the species that live there.''
</gallery>

== B.3 Problem definition and priority setting ==

By mapping the three major aspects we chose to focus on ('''ACCESSIBILITY''', '''LAND USE''', '''BIODIVERSITY'''), what we were able to deduce was that:

- There are different connections from the waterfront to the inner city and back at the moment, which might be a good starting point to work on to, in order to reclose the split which there is now between the coastline and the interland, due to the uncontrolled urbanisation of some activities.

- In fact, the predominance of the industrial areas and the big port, in addition to the tourist urbanisation, are causing a deep cut in the landscape, making the coast not so easy to access.

- Moreover, the industrial and harbour activity, got the pollution increasing over the years, having the local population to fear for the safety of the typical beach dunes which characterize the landscape.

For each of these aspects, we deduced, then, the risks and the potentials, as two pieces of a coin.

In fact, as it’s important to be aware of the dangers of the uncontrolled expansion of the industrial and harbour activities and of the tourist urbanization, so it is necessary to consider their role in the economy growth of the city and their potential in terms of agriculture and cultural heritage.

As well as the density of buildings in the center, which make it hard to get access to the coast today, it’s still well connected so it could be easily improved with the development of the existing infrastructures turned to green.

And in last, the biodiversity of the coast, whose risk is represented by pollution and climate change, has of course a great potential for its own nature.

After mapping this system of pros and cons, we could set the '''goals''' for assessing the landscape. Those are:

- Encouraging the '''agriculture''' and the '''local activities''', in order to try to balance the predominance of industry

- Protecting the '''sealife and the biodiversity''' of the landscape from water pollution caused by harbour and industries and studying possible measures of '''sea level rise''' '''prevention'''

- Finding a sustainable way of '''controlling urban development''', and reinforcing the '''existing connections''' to the waterfront with green infrastructures

- Finding possible solutions for '''sustainable tourism'''

</gallery>

== B.4 Theory reflection ==

The main difficulty we found during the second phase of the project was to set goals without having the possibility to study the area personally, so we tried to obtain updated datas about the environment and the perceptions of locals by writing a survey.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8qSJFpWRmuwB3UzMz0dC8Uo59d7tX_NnzY_K4_CfcRHEmfg/viewform?usp=sf_link

From this we could obtain interesting answers about the risks and potentials as felt by the population: most of the answers, in fact, were from people who have been living in Dunkerque since their birth.
We asked them about the importance of agriculture and the impact of harbour industry on the landscape and on the environment, getting very interesting answers, feeling the affection of locals for their city and their worry of losing the biodiversity due to pollution.
It also helped us evaluating their ideas about the safeguard of the landscape, the prevention of risks and the elements of potentials which were essential in setting the goals for the project.

=Phase C – Strategy and Master Plan =
== C.1 Goal Setting ==
Stepping back to the points we set previously [[https://colandwiki.hfwu.de/index.php?title=COLAND_Case_Study_2020_-_Dunkerque_(East)#B.3_Problem_definition_and_priority_setting| previously ]],

the goals we aimed to define in our project could be reflected as some of the points of '''SDGs (Agenda 2030)''' like as:

'''11. SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES ''' Supported by our will to set strategies to:

- ''Promote sustainable tourism'' (Organic agriculture / 0 km origin; Technologies for water saving; Ecologically oriented renovation of hotel facilities for the choice of renewable energy sources; Mobility and Public Transport; Promotion and Knowledge of monuments and areas of historical; artistic and natural interest; Highlighting territorial cultural heritage)

- ''Reinforcement of connections to the waterfront'' (green infrastructures);

'''12. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION''' with the ''encouragement of agriculture'' itself;

'''13. CLIMATE ACTION''' with the ''Redesign of the coastline'';

'''14. LIFE UNDER WATER & 15. LIFE ON LAND''' With ''actions against pollution'' and ''protection of the sealife and biodiversity'' of the landscape heritage (like the sand dunes).

== C.2 Spatial Strategy and Transect ==
*''translate your strategic goals into a vision''
*''develop a spatial translation of your vision''
*''exemplify your vision in the form of a transect with concrete interventions''
*''add map(s) and visualizations''

</gallery>

== C.3 From Theory of Change to Implementation ==
''For the interventions described above, it is necessary to comply with a gradual governance process that can involve a multiplicity of actors who have the role of financing the interventions. It is therefore necessary that these actors are associated with a common vision with respect to the interventions. The actors involved in the governance process are manifold, in our case the main ones are the region of upper France, the municipality of Dunkerque and the EU support programs to which are added the various stakeholders and private users who have a role functional in the success of the interventions. Taking into consideration the various political and bureaucratic procedures, we hypothesized a timetable for the realization of our main interventions.''

=== Green/blue infrastructure ===
The main green and blue infrastructure is the coast line. This is characterized, as previously mentioned, from the dunes and the largest run east of the Belgian coast. The "dunes flamandes" (Flemish dunes) run to the east on the Belgian border. It is an absolutely unique ecosystem that hosts hundreds of botanical species.
The beach is extended continuously over 15 km. Discovered at low tide, the vast zone is sometimes bordered by dunes.

The blue infrastructures are characterized by the presence of water channels that run into hinterland and by the port that divides the anthropic system from the naturalistic one. Green infrastructures are characterized by a large presence of green soil which differs from agricultural and woodland soil.
The connection between the green of the agricultural soils and the blue of the sea is interrupted by the presence of urbanized soil.

The place that more than any other in Dunkerque holds a strong cultural value is the port, which contributed to the birth and the development of the city itself over the centuries. It started out as a centre of herring fishing under the Counts of Flanders in the 11th century and began to engage in commercial traffic after 1350 as a result of contacts with Holland and England. Its expansion continued until the mid-18th century, alternating with the numerous bombings and reconstructions in the times of wars, which contributed to its modifications.

The skyline of Dunkerque is then spread out horizontally over the sea, that makes it easy to catch the vertical elements that rise over the civil buildings, like towers, bell towers and lighthouses, most of which are protected by '''UNESCO''' and represent a strong part of the cultural heritage of the city. Among the most relevant:

- La Tour du Leughenaer (1450)

- Le beffroi de Dunkerque (xv sec, monument historique depuis 1840)

- Le phare de Dunkerque ou phare du Risban (1842)

- L’hôtel de ville de Dunkerque (1897-1901, its belfry was declared a '''UNESCO World Heritage Site''' in 2005)

- Feu de Saint-Pol (1937)

Dunkirk was also the scene of the historic evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from France in May and June 1940. Known as Operation Dynamo, it was the largest evacuation of Allied forces during the Second World War. That's why the places of the wars that took place in Dunkerque had a great impact in changing the anthropic system of the city and, most of all, its symbolical value, with the introduction of many memorial sites and cemeteries (like the "Dunkirk Memorial", unveiled in Dunkerque on 29 June 1957 by Queen Elizabeth).

But the natural system of the city is rich in cultural heritage as well, thanks to the Dunes of the Flemish maritime plain, which characterize the coastline and are included in the List of Sites of Community interest for '''Natura 2000'''.

=== Visual appearance and landscape narrative ===

Due to its historical and symbolic value, Dunkerque has been the subject of several movies and visual artpieces:

'''“Week-end à Zuydcoote”''' (1964) and '''“Dunkirk”''' (2017), are just two of the famous movies which take place during Operation Dynamo in Second World War, under the German bombardments;

'''“Karnaval”''' (1999), instead, takes place during the traditional Dunkirk Carnival, catching another face of the cultural heritage of this land;

In the music field, the '''“Cantate à Jean Bart”''', popular "anthem" of Dunkerque, is a song played on the evening of the ''Dunkirk Band'' directly in front of the statue of the hero, where the crowd of "carnivals" meet and sing on their knees, with arms stretched towards the sky.

Also many painters, like ''Jean Baptiste Camille Corot'', ''Charles Ernest Cundall'', ''Paul Signac'' and many other local and contemporary artists, celebrated the beauty of Dunkerque’s landscape in their paintings, focusing on the coastal landscape with the sea and the sand dunes.

This analysis has been confirmed by a survey addressed to Danquerke citizien which validate that we have been able to identify the focal points to ensure a densest and closer process of development and protection of the territory.''

== B.2 Mapping ==
*''As defined by your assessment strategy you conduct the mapping and present your findings here''
*''As a minimum, at least three different themes need to be mapped, you may choose more if needed''

<gallery caption=" " widths="500px" heights="200px" perrow="1">
File:Connections.jpg|''Two important themes emerge on this map. There are horizontal and vertical connections that connect Hinteland and the sea. Just a single axis does not reach the sea because it is closed by the barrier formed by the industrial area. A proposed project could be to connect the western part of the Dunkirk canal with the eastern part to bring it closer to the waterfront.''
File:Land use b2.jpg|''This map represents land use in terms of inhabited buildings, accommodation facilities, industries, agriculture and public green as they appear today. We observed these data on the basis of our previous analyzes and the questionnaire we submitted to the population of the area. The main urban changes date back to the second post-war period till 70s, however an increase in urbanized land in the coastal area can be noted in the last twenty years with a consequent increase in accommodation facilities, especially airbnbs (shown on the map with the red icon).''
File:Ecosysterm service dune.jpg|''From the mapping of ecosystem services and from the study on the biodiversity of the territory, it emerged that our study area, by its nature, offers many benefits. In particular, the coast has a great biodiversity with the presence of tree species on its dunes and the fauna of its waters. In the hinterland there are various protected green areas where the typical fauna of the area is safeguarded but unfortunately, there is a great economic tendency to exploit the coast through the port which makes polluted waters at the expense of the species that live there.''
</gallery>

== B.3 Problem definition and priority setting ==

By mapping the three major aspects we chose to focus on ('''ACCESSIBILITY''', '''LAND USE''', '''BIODIVERSITY'''), what we were able to deduce was that:

- There are different connections from the waterfront to the inner city and back at the moment, which might be a good starting point to work on to, in order to reclose the split which there is now between the coastline and the interland, due to the uncontrolled urbanisation of some activities.

- In fact, the predominance of the industrial areas and the big port, in addition to the tourist urbanisation, are causing a deep cut in the landscape, making the coast not so easy to access.

- Moreover, the industrial and harbour activity, got the pollution increasing over the years, having the local population to fear for the safety of the typical beach dunes which characterize the landscape.

For each of these aspects, we deduced, then, the risks and the potentials, as two pieces of a coin.

In fact, as it’s important to be aware of the dangers of the uncontrolled expansion of the industrial and harbour activities and of the tourist urbanization, so it is necessary to consider their role in the economy growth of the city and their potential in terms of agriculture and cultural heritage.

As well as the density of buildings in the center, which make it hard to get access to the coast today, it’s still well connected so it could be easily improved with the development of the existing infrastructures turned to green.

And in last, the biodiversity of the coast, whose risk is represented by pollution and climate change, has of course a great potential for its own nature.

After mapping this system of pros and cons, we could set the '''goals''' for assessing the landscape. Those are:

- Encouraging the '''agriculture''' and the '''local activities''', in order to try to balance the predominance of industry

- Protecting the '''sealife and the biodiversity''' of the landscape from water pollution caused by harbour and industries and studying possible measures of '''sea level rise''' '''prevention'''

- Finding a sustainable way of '''controlling urban development''', and reinforcing the '''existing connections''' to the waterfront with green infrastructures

- Finding possible solutions for '''sustainable tourism'''

</gallery>

== B.4 Theory reflection ==

The main difficulty we found during the second phase of the project was to set goals without having the possibility to study the area personally, so we tried to obtain updated datas about the environment and the perceptions of locals by writing a survey.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8qSJFpWRmuwB3UzMz0dC8Uo59d7tX_NnzY_K4_CfcRHEmfg/viewform?usp=sf_link

From this we could obtain interesting answers about the risks and potentials as felt by the population: most of the answers, in fact, were from people who have been living in Dunkerque since their birth.
We asked them about the importance of agriculture and the impact of harbour industry on the landscape and on the environment, getting very interesting answers, feeling the affection of locals for their city and their worry of losing the biodiversity due to pollution.
It also helped us evaluating their ideas about the safeguard of the landscape, the prevention of risks and the elements of potentials which were essential in setting the goals for the project.

== C.1 Goal Setting ==
Stepping back to the points we set previously [[https://colandwiki.hfwu.de/index.php?title=COLAND_Case_Study_2020_-_Dunkerque_(East)#B.3_Problem_definition_and_priority_setting| previously ]],

the goals we aimed to define in our project could be reflected as some of the points of '''SDGs (Agenda 2030)''' like as:

'''11. SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES ''' Supported by our will to set strategies to:

- ''Promote sustainable tourism'' (Organic agriculture / 0 km origin; Technologies for water saving; Ecologically oriented renovation of hotel facilities for the choice of renewable energy sources; Mobility and Public Transport; Promotion and Knowledge of monuments and areas of historical; artistic and natural interest; Highlighting territorial cultural heritage)

- ''Reinforcement of connections to the waterfront'' (green infrastructures);

'''12. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION''' with the ''encouragement of agriculture'' itself;

'''13. CLIMATE ACTION''' with the ''Redesign of the coastline'';

'''14. LIFE UNDER WATER & 15. LIFE ON LAND''' With ''actions against pollution'' and ''protection of the sealife and biodiversity'' of the landscape heritage (like the sand dunes).

== C.2 Spatial Strategy and Transect ==
*''translate your strategic goals into a vision''
*''develop a spatial translation of your vision''
*''exemplify your vision in the form of a transect with concrete interventions''
*''add map(s) and visualizations''

== C.3 From Theory of Change to Implementation ==
''For the interventions described above, it is necessary to comply with a gradual governance process that can involve a multiplicity of actors who have the role of financing the interventions. It is therefore necessary that these actors are associated with a common vision with respect to the interventions. The actors involved in the governance process are manifold, in our case the main ones are the region of upper France, the municipality of Dunkerque and the EU support programs to which are added the various stakeholders and private users who have a role functional in the success of the interventions. Taking into consideration the various political and bureaucratic procedures, we hypothesized a timetable for the realization of our main interventions.''

= A Landscape System Analysis =

== A.1 Landscape layers and their system context ==
=== Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology ===
First of all in our area ,Dunquerke east, we identified the 3 keywords,as we can see, that return our image of thearea for us.
The first, ENVIRONMENTAL HERITAGE, highlights the strong presence of the natural historical heritage of the area which leads us to identify the second keyword:
TOURISM AND COMMERCE. Dunquerke area attracts a large tourist flow for its coast which performs a dual function, economic and environmental.
However, these two functions clashed with each other and the economic function prevailed over the environmental one. For these reasons the urbanized part subtracts soil from natural part; hence the choice of the third keyword is : LAND CONSUMPTION.

The characteristic elements of the coast are the sand dunes, are result of the natural effects produced by the wind and waves. The dunes outline the course of the soil which is slightly steep towards the sea. Moreover, these natural barriers mark the border between nature and urbanized environment, marked by docks.
The docks are the center of the anthropized system formed by the port and industries, tourist and economic centers.
These functions are in contrast with the surrounding naturalistic system but together they characterize the coast line of the area.

<gallery caption=" " widths="200px" heights="150px" perrow="5">
File:Slide 1 Giulia.jpg|''Key words''
File:Slide 2 Giulia.JPG|''Costal Typology''
</gallery>

=== Land use ===
Dunkirk is characterized by three main functional areas: on the west side of our area, as we can see, there is an intensified presence of industrial activities because the port is the economic core of the area, the residential area is developed in the south area where there is a strong presence of historic buildings.
Therefore on the east side there is a residential area characterized by a resort because it is not industrialized and still in direct contact with the coast line.
All these functions, however, are not well connected to each other so in the future we assume that the predominant land use will be the infrastructure system.

File:Costutio.jpg|''actual land use of the area''
File:Costruito.jpg|''actual top view of the area from google maps''
File:Legenda1.JPG|''legend''
</gallery>

=== Green/blue infrastructure ===
The main green and blue infrastructure is the coast line. This is characterized, as previously mentioned, from the dunes and the largest run east of the Belgian coast. The "dunes flamandes" (Flemish dunes) run to the east on the Belgian border. It is an absolutely unique ecosystem that hosts hundreds of botanical species.
The beach is extended continuously over 15 km. Discovered at low tide, the vast zone is sometimes bordered by dunes.

The blue infrastructures are characterized by the presence of water channels that run into hinterland and by the port that divides the anthropic system from the naturalistic one. Green infrastructures are characterized by a large presence of green soil which differs from agricultural and woodland soil.
The connection between the green of the agricultural soils and the blue of the sea is interrupted by the presence of urbanized soil.

</gallery>

=== Actors and stakeholders ===
In Dunkerque the primary type of stakeholders is organizations and governmental associations in the area. The district is under the supervision of the municipality of Dunkerque which is one of the main stakeholders with a high level of interest and the influence. Therefore, the French National council for coastline is the highest-ranked interest organization in the area that is caring for landscape and it is responsible of the environmental issues of the area.
The council is nominee by the national government every 4 years.

Port industries also have a considerable influence as they strongly affect the economy of the area.
Local people, tourists, investors, and businessman are considering as the second type of stakeholders.
Each of them has a different role in the local society as they influence both social environmental and economic factors of the area.
They can lead by the first group of the stakeholders to improve and promote the development factors of the area of Dunkerque.

== B.3 Problem definition and priority setting ==

By mapping the three major aspects we chose to focus on ('''ACCESSIBILITY''', '''LAND USE''', '''BIODIVERSITY'''), what we were able to deduce was that:

- There are different connections from the waterfront to the inner city and back at the moment, which might be a good starting point to work on to, in order to reclose the split which there is now between the coastline and the interland, due to the uncontrolled urbanisation of some activities.

- In fact, the predominance of the industrial areas and the big port, in addition to the tourist urbanisation, are causing a deep cut in the landscape, making the coast not so easy to access.

- Moreover, the industrial and harbour activity, got the pollution increasing over the years, having the local population to fear for the safety of the typical beach dunes which characterize the landscape.

For each of these aspects, we deduced, then, the risks and the potentials, as two pieces of a coin.

In fact, as it’s important to be aware of the dangers of the uncontrolled expansion of the industrial and harbour activities and of the tourist urbanization, so it is necessary to consider their role in the economy growth of the city and their potential in terms of agriculture and cultural heritage.

As well as the density of buildings in the center, which make it hard to get access to the coast today, it’s still well connected so it could be easily improved with the development of the existing infrastructures turned to green.

And in last, the biodiversity of the coast, whose risk is represented by pollution and climate change, has of course a great potential for its own nature.

After mapping this system of pros and cons, we could set the '''goals''' for assessing the landscape. Those are:

- Encouraging the '''agriculture''' and the '''local activities''', in order to try to balance the predominance of industry

- Protecting the '''sealife and the biodiversity''' of the landscape from water pollution caused by harbour and industries and studying possible measures of '''sea level rise''' '''prevention'''

- Finding a sustainable way of '''controlling urban development''', and reinforcing the '''existing connections''' to the waterfront with green infrastructures

- Finding possible solutions for '''sustainable tourism'''

== B.4 Theory reflection ==

The main difficulty we found during the second phase of the project was to set goals without having the possibility to study the area personally, so we tried to obtain updated datas about the environment and the perceptions of locals by writing a survey.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8qSJFpWRmuwB3UzMz0dC8Uo59d7tX_NnzY_K4_CfcRHEmfg/viewform?usp=sf_link

From this we could obtain interesting answers about the risks and potentials as felt by the population: most of the answers, in fact, were from people who have been living in Dunkerque since their birth.
We asked them about the importance of agriculture and the impact of harbour industry on the landscape and on the environment, getting very interesting answers, feeling the affection of locals for their city and their worry of losing the biodiversity due to pollution.
It also helped us evaluating their ideas about the safeguard of the landscape, the prevention of risks and the elements of potentials which were essential in setting the goals for the project.

Stepping back to the points we set previously [[https://colandwiki.hfwu.de/index.php?title=COLAND_Case_Study_2020_-_Dunkerque_(East)#B.3_Problem_definition_and_priority_setting| previously ]],

the goals we aimed to define in our project could be reflected as some of the points of '''SDGs (Agenda 2030)''' like as:

'''11. SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES ''' Supported by our will to set strategies to:

- ''Promote sustainable tourism'' (Organic agriculture / 0 km origin; Technologies for water saving; Ecologically oriented renovation of hotel facilities for the choice of renewable energy sources; Mobility and Public Transport; Promotion and Knowledge of monuments and areas of historical; artistic and natural interest; Highlighting territorial cultural heritage)

- ''Reinforcement of connections to the waterfront'' (green infrastructures);

'''12. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION''' with the ''encouragement of agriculture'' itself;

'''13. CLIMATE ACTION''' with the ''Redesign of the coastline'';

'''14. LIFE UNDER WATER & 15. LIFE ON LAND''' With ''actions against pollution'' and ''protection of the sealife and biodiversity'' of the landscape heritage (like the sand dunes).

''For the interventions described above, it is necessary to comply with a gradual governance process that can involve a multiplicity of actors who have the role of financing the interventions. It is therefore necessary that these actors are associated with a common vision with respect to the interventions. The actors involved in the governance process are manifold, in our case the main ones are the region of upper France, the municipality of Dunkerque and the EU support programs to which are added the various stakeholders and private users who have a role functional in the success of the interventions. Taking into consideration the various political and bureaucratic procedures, we hypothesized a timetable for the realization of our main interventions.''

= A Landscape System Analysis =

== A.1 Landscape layers and their system context ==
=== Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology ===
First of all in our area ,Dunquerke east, we identified the 3 keywords,as we can see, that return our image of thearea for us.
The first, ENVIRONMENTAL HERITAGE, highlights the strong presence of the natural historical heritage of the area which leads us to identify the second keyword:
TOURISM AND COMMERCE. Dunquerke area attracts a large tourist flow for its coast which performs a dual function, economic and environmental.
However, these two functions clashed with each other and the economic function prevailed over the environmental one. For these reasons the urbanized part subtracts soil from natural part; hence the choice of the third keyword is : LAND CONSUMPTION.

The characteristic elements of the coast are the sand dunes, are result of the natural effects produced by the wind and waves. The dunes outline the course of the soil which is slightly steep towards the sea. Moreover, these natural barriers mark the border between nature and urbanized environment, marked by docks.
The docks are the center of the anthropized system formed by the port and industries, tourist and economic centers.
These functions are in contrast with the surrounding naturalistic system but together they characterize the coast line of the area.

<gallery caption=" " widths="200px" heights="150px" perrow="5">
File:Slide 1 Giulia.jpg|''Key words''
File:Slide 2 Giulia.JPG|''Costal Typology''
</gallery>

=== Land use ===
Dunkirk is characterized by three main functional areas: on the west side of our area, as we can see, there is an intensified presence of industrial activities because the port is the economic core of the area, the residential area is developed in the south area where there is a strong presence of historic buildings.
Therefore on the east side there is a residential area characterized by a resort because it is not industrialized and still in direct contact with the coast line.
All these functions, however, are not well connected to each other so in the future we assume that the predominant land use will be the infrastructure system.

File:Costutio.jpg|''actual land use of the area''
File:Costruito.jpg|''actual top view of the area from google maps''
File:Legenda1.JPG|''legend''
</gallery>

=== Green/blue infrastructure ===
The main green and blue infrastructure is the coast line. This is characterized, as previously mentioned, from the dunes and the largest run east of the Belgian coast. The "dunes flamandes" (Flemish dunes) run to the east on the Belgian border. It is an absolutely unique ecosystem that hosts hundreds of botanical species.
The beach is extended continuously over 15 km. Discovered at low tide, the vast zone is sometimes bordered by dunes.

The blue infrastructures are characterized by the presence of water channels that run into hinterland and by the port that divides the anthropic system from the naturalistic one. Green infrastructures are characterized by a large presence of green soil which differs from agricultural and woodland soil.
The connection between the green of the agricultural soils and the blue of the sea is interrupted by the presence of urbanized soil.

File:Legenda verde.JPG|''legend''
</gallery>

=== Actors and stakeholders ===
In Dunkerque the primary type of stakeholders is organizations and governmental associations in the area. The district is under the supervision of the municipality of Dunkerque which is one of the main stakeholders with a high level of interest and the influence. Therefore, the French National council for coastline is the highest-ranked interest organization in the area that is caring for landscape and it is responsible of the environmental issues of the area.
The council is nominee by the national government every 4 years.

Port industries also have a considerable influence as they strongly affect the economy of the area.
Local people, tourists, investors, and businessman are considering as the second type of stakeholders.
Each of them has a different role in the local society as they influence both social environmental and economic factors of the area.
They can lead by the first group of the stakeholders to improve and promote the development factors of the area of Dunkerque.

</gallery>

=== Sacred spaces and heritage ===

The place that more than any other in Dunkerque holds a strong cultural value is the port, which contributed to the birth and the development of the city itself over the centuries. It started out as a centre of herring fishing under the Counts of Flanders in the 11th century and began to engage in commercial traffic after 1350 as a result of contacts with Holland and England. Its expansion continued until the mid-18th century, alternating with the numerous bombings and reconstructions in the times of wars, which contributed to its modifications.

The skyline of Dunkerque is then spread out horizontally over the sea, that makes it easy to catch the vertical elements that rise over the civil buildings, like towers, bell towers and lighthouses, most of which are protected by '''UNESCO''' and represent a strong part of the cultural heritage of the city. Among the most relevant:

- La Tour du Leughenaer (1450)

- Le beffroi de Dunkerque (xv sec, monument historique depuis 1840)

- Le phare de Dunkerque ou phare du Risban (1842)

- L’hôtel de ville de Dunkerque (1897-1901, its belfry was declared a '''UNESCO World Heritage Site''' in 2005)

- Feu de Saint-Pol (1937)

Dunkirk was also the scene of the historic evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from France in May and June 1940. Known as Operation Dynamo, it was the largest evacuation of Allied forces during the Second World War. That's why the places of the wars that took place in Dunkerque had a great impact in changing the anthropic system of the city and, most of all, its symbolical value, with the introduction of many memorial sites and cemeteries (like the "Dunkirk Memorial", unveiled in Dunkerque on 29 June 1957 by Queen Elizabeth).

But the natural system of the city is rich in cultural heritage as well, thanks to the Dunes of the Flemish maritime plain, which characterize the coastline and are included in the List of Sites of Community interest for '''Natura 2000'''.

=== Visual appearance and landscape narrative ===

Due to its historical and symbolic value, Dunkerque has been the subject of several movies and visual artpieces:

'''“Week-end à Zuydcoote”''' (1964) and '''“Dunkirk”''' (2017), are just two of the famous movies which take place during Operation Dynamo in Second World War, under the German bombardments;

'''“Karnaval”''' (1999), instead, takes place during the traditional Dunkirk Carnival, catching another face of the cultural heritage of this land;

In the music field, the '''“Cantate à Jean Bart”''', popular "anthem" of Dunkerque, is a song played on the evening of the ''Dunkirk Band'' directly in front of the statue of the hero, where the crowd of "carnivals" meet and sing on their knees, with arms stretched towards the sky.

Also many painters, like ''Jean Baptiste Camille Corot'', ''Charles Ernest Cundall'', ''Paul Signac'' and many other local and contemporary artists, celebrated the beauty of Dunkerque’s landscape in their paintings, focusing on the coastal landscape with the sea and the sand dunes.

== A.2 Summary of your landscape system analysis and your development targets ==
''After our analysis we can explain the weakness and the strongness of Dunkerque by the DPSIR analysis model.
Surely our Driving Forces are the cultural points like Museum Dunkerque, Lieù d’Art et Action Contemporane de Dunkerque, FRAC and the two ship Duchesse Anne and Sandettiè. Another strenght is the turist beach like Malo les Bains.
About the Pressure, instead, one of the weakness is the impact given by the industries and the urban contest fragmentation. The States of the Green and Blu infrastructure are interrupted by the urban contest. A great value to improve the urban contest is given by the municipality that institueted the “Free Public Transport” which caused the economic growth and a less impact on the Climate change.
By this way the municipality try to Response to the problems that we have shown before.''

*''For the interventions described above, it is necessary to comply with a gradual governance process that can involve a multiplicity of actors who have the role of financing the interventions. It is therefore necessary that these actors are associated with a common vision with respect to the interventions. The actors involved in the governance process are manifold, in our case the main ones are the region of upper France, the municipality of Dunkerque and the EU support programs to which are added the various stakeholders and private users who have a role functional in the success of the interventions. Taking into consideration the various political and bureaucratic procedures, we hypothesized a timetable for the realization of our main interventions.''

= A Landscape System Analysis =

== A.1 Landscape layers and their system context ==
=== Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology ===
First of all in our area ,Dunquerke east, we identified the 3 keywords,as we can see, that return our image of thearea for us.
The first, ENVIRONMENTAL HERITAGE, highlights the strong presence of the natural historical heritage of the area which leads us to identify the second keyword:
TOURISM AND COMMERCE. Dunquerke area attracts a large tourist flow for its coast which performs a dual function, economic and environmental.
However, these two functions clashed with each other and the economic function prevailed over the environmental one. For these reasons the urbanized part subtracts soil from natural part; hence the choice of the third keyword is : LAND CONSUMPTION.

The characteristic elements of the coast are the sand dunes, are result of the natural effects produced by the wind and waves. The dunes outline the course of the soil which is slightly steep towards the sea. Moreover, these natural barriers mark the border between nature and urbanized environment, marked by docks.
The docks are the center of the anthropized system formed by the port and industries, tourist and economic centers.
These functions are in contrast with the surrounding naturalistic system but together they characterize the coast line of the area.

File:Slide 2 Giulia.JPG|''Costal Typology''
</gallery>

=== Land use ===
Dunkirk is characterized by three main functional areas: on the west side of our area, as we can see, there is an intensified presence of industrial activities because the port is the economic core of the area, the residential area is developed in the south area where there is a strong presence of historic buildings.
Therefore on the east side there is a residential area characterized by a resort because it is not industrialized and still in direct contact with the coast line.
All these functions, however, are not well connected to each other so in the future we assume that the predominant land use will be the infrastructure system.

File:Legenda1.JPG|''legend''
</gallery>

=== Green/blue infrastructure ===
The main green and blue infrastructure is the coast line. This is characterized, as previously mentioned, from the dunes and the largest run east of the Belgian coast. The "dunes flamandes" (Flemish dunes) run to the east on the Belgian border. It is an absolutely unique ecosystem that hosts hundreds of botanical species.
The beach is extended continuously over 15 km. Discovered at low tide, the vast zone is sometimes bordered by dunes.

The blue infrastructures are characterized by the presence of water channels that run into hinterland and by the port that divides the anthropic system from the naturalistic one. Green infrastructures are characterized by a large presence of green soil which differs from agricultural and woodland soil.
The connection between the green of the agricultural soils and the blue of the sea is interrupted by the presence of urbanized soil.

File:Legenda verde.JPG|''legend''
</gallery>

=== Actors and stakeholders ===
In Dunkerque the primary type of stakeholders is organizations and governmental associations in the area. The district is under the supervision of the municipality of Dunkerque which is one of the main stakeholders with a high level of interest and the influence. Therefore, the French National council for coastline is the highest-ranked interest organization in the area that is caring for landscape and it is responsible of the environmental issues of the area.
The council is nominee by the national government every 4 years.

Port industries also have a considerable influence as they strongly affect the economy of the area.
Local people, tourists, investors, and businessman are considering as the second type of stakeholders.
Each of them has a different role in the local society as they influence both social environmental and economic factors of the area.
They can lead by the first group of the stakeholders to improve and promote the development factors of the area of Dunkerque.

=== Sacred spaces and heritage ===

The place that more than any other in Dunkerque holds a strong cultural value is the port, which contributed to the birth and the development of the city itself over the centuries. It started out as a centre of herring fishing under the Counts of Flanders in the 11th century and began to engage in commercial traffic after 1350 as a result of contacts with Holland and England. Its expansion continued until the mid-18th century, alternating with the numerous bombings and reconstructions in the times of wars, which contributed to its modifications.

The skyline of Dunkerque is then spread out horizontally over the sea, that makes it easy to catch the vertical elements that rise over the civil buildings, like towers, bell towers and lighthouses, most of which are protected by '''UNESCO''' and represent a strong part of the cultural heritage of the city. Among the most relevant:

- La Tour du Leughenaer (1450)

- Le beffroi de Dunkerque (xv sec, monument historique depuis 1840)

- Le phare de Dunkerque ou phare du Risban (1842)

- L’hôtel de ville de Dunkerque (1897-1901, its belfry was declared a '''UNESCO World Heritage Site''' in 2005)

- Feu de Saint-Pol (1937)

Dunkirk was also the scene of the historic evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from France in May and June 1940. Known as Operation Dynamo, it was the largest evacuation of Allied forces during the Second World War. That's why the places of the wars that took place in Dunkerque had a great impact in changing the anthropic system of the city and, most of all, its symbolical value, with the introduction of many memorial sites and cemeteries (like the "Dunkirk Memorial", unveiled in Dunkerque on 29 June 1957 by Queen Elizabeth).

But the natural system of the city is rich in cultural heritage as well, thanks to the Dunes of the Flemish maritime plain, which characterize the coastline and are included in the List of Sites of Community interest for '''Natura 2000'''.

=== Visual appearance and landscape narrative ===

Due to its historical and symbolic value, Dunkerque has been the subject of several movies and visual artpieces:

'''“Week-end à Zuydcoote”''' (1964) and '''“Dunkirk”''' (2017), are just two of the famous movies which take place during Operation Dynamo in Second World War, under the German bombardments;

'''“Karnaval”''' (1999), instead, takes place during the traditional Dunkirk Carnival, catching another face of the cultural heritage of this land;

In the music field, the '''“Cantate à Jean Bart”''', popular "anthem" of Dunkerque, is a song played on the evening of the ''Dunkirk Band'' directly in front of the statue of the hero, where the crowd of "carnivals" meet and sing on their knees, with arms stretched towards the sky.

Also many painters, like ''Jean Baptiste Camille Corot'', ''Charles Ernest Cundall'', ''Paul Signac'' and many other local and contemporary artists, celebrated the beauty of Dunkerque’s landscape in their paintings, focusing on the coastal landscape with the sea and the sand dunes.

== A.2 Summary of your landscape system analysis and your development targets ==
''After our analysis we can explain the weakness and the strongness of Dunkerque by the DPSIR analysis model.
Surely our Driving Forces are the cultural points like Museum Dunkerque, Lieù d’Art et Action Contemporane de Dunkerque, FRAC and the two ship Duchesse Anne and Sandettiè. Another strenght is the turist beach like Malo les Bains.
About the Pressure, instead, one of the weakness is the impact given by the industries and the urban contest fragmentation. The States of the Green and Blu infrastructure are interrupted by the urban contest. A great value to improve the urban contest is given by the municipality that institueted the “Free Public Transport” which caused the economic growth and a less impact on the Climate change.
By this way the municipality try to Response to the problems that we have shown before.''

= Phase B: Landscape Evaluation and Assessment =
== B.1 Assessment Strategy ==
*''In the face of the analysis that we made on the area we found that we could operate at best on the zone by powering biodiversity, landuse and accessibility. This analysis has been confirmed by a survey addressed to Danquerke citizien which validate that we have been able to identify the focal points to ensure a densest and closer process of development and protection of the territory.''

== B.2 Mapping ==
*''As defined by your assessment strategy you conduct the mapping and present your findings here''
*''As a minimum, at least three different themes need to be mapped, you may choose more if needed''

<gallery caption=" " widths="500px" heights="200px" perrow="1">
File:Accessibilità leg.jpg|''In this first map we developed our proposal in: main axes and strengthening of public spaces. The first point has great potential to promote the connection between the promenade and the interior, through the connection of existing networks of beaches, dunes, green areas, protected sites, canals, historic centers, agricultural areas etc. The final masterplan could also include a strategy for a continuous connection along the coast, both on a regional and metropolitan scale. A connection for cars, bicycles and pedestrians, one of these connections could cross the strengths of the coast which are the dunes that go east, and other green connections that add to the existing ones, to develop a connection from the waterfront to the 'neighborhood.''
File:Land use b2.jpg|''This map represents land use in terms of inhabited buildings, accommodation facilities, industries, agriculture and public green as they appear today. We observed these data on the basis of our previous analyzes and the questionnaire we submitted to the population of the area. The main urban changes date back to the second post-war period till 70s, however an increase in urbanized land in the coastal area can be noted in the last twenty years with a consequent increase in accommodation facilities, especially airbnbs (shown on the map with the red icon).''
File:Ecosysterm service dune.jpg|''From the mapping of ecosystem services and from the study on the biodiversity of the territory, it emerged that our study area, by its nature, offers many benefits. In particular, the coast has a great biodiversity with the presence of tree species on its dunes and the fauna of its waters. In the hinterland there are various protected green areas where the typical fauna of the area is safeguarded but unfortunately, there is a great economic tendency to exploit the coast through the port which makes polluted waters at the expense of the species that live there.''
</gallery>

== B.3 Problem definition and priority setting ==

By mapping the three major aspects we chose to focus on ('''ACCESSIBILITY''', '''LAND USE''', '''BIODIVERSITY'''), what we were able to deduce was that:

- There are different connections from the waterfront to the inner city and back at the moment, which might be a good starting point to work on to, in order to reclose the split which there is now between the coastline and the interland, due to the uncontrolled urbanisation of some activities.

- In fact, the predominance of the industrial areas and the big port, in addition to the tourist urbanisation, are causing a deep cut in the landscape, making the coast not so easy to access.

- Moreover, the industrial and harbour activity, got the pollution increasing over the years, having the local population to fear for the safety of the typical beach dunes which characterize the landscape.

For each of these aspects, we deduced, then, the risks and the potentials, as two pieces of a coin.

In fact, as it’s important to be aware of the dangers of the uncontrolled expansion of the industrial and harbour activities and of the tourist urbanization, so it is necessary to consider their role in the economy growth of the city and their potential in terms of agriculture and cultural heritage.

As well as the density of buildings in the center, which make it hard to get access to the coast today, it’s still well connected so it could be easily improved with the development of the existing infrastructures turned to green.

And in last, the biodiversity of the coast, whose risk is represented by pollution and climate change, has of course a great potential for its own nature.

After mapping this system of pros and cons, we could set the '''goals''' for assessing the landscape. Those are:

- Encouraging the '''agriculture''' and the '''local activities''', in order to try to balance the predominance of industry

- Protecting the '''sealife and the biodiversity''' of the landscape from water pollution caused by harbour and industries and studying possible measures of '''sea level rise''' '''prevention'''

- Finding a sustainable way of '''controlling urban development''', and reinforcing the '''existing connections''' to the waterfront with green infrastructures

- Finding possible solutions for '''sustainable tourism'''

</gallery>

== B.4 Theory reflection ==

The main difficulty we found during the second phase of the project was to set goals without having the possibility to study the area personally, so we tried to obtain updated datas about the environment and the perceptions of locals by writing a survey.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8qSJFpWRmuwB3UzMz0dC8Uo59d7tX_NnzY_K4_CfcRHEmfg/viewform?usp=sf_link

From this we could obtain interesting answers about the risks and potentials as felt by the population: most of the answers, in fact, were from people who have been living in Dunkerque since their birth.
We asked them about the importance of agriculture and the impact of harbour industry on the landscape and on the environment, getting very interesting answers, feeling the affection of locals for their city and their worry of losing the biodiversity due to pollution.
It also helped us evaluating their ideas about the safeguard of the landscape, the prevention of risks and the elements of potentials which were essential in setting the goals for the project.
