本研究为立陶宛沿海地区开发了一个综合环境评估工具,该工具充分考虑了D-6石油钻井平台、波罗的海东南部船舶交通以及Būtingė石油码头运营所造成的重大石油泄漏风险。本文的目标是提出一种基于四个具体指标的环境敏感性指数(ESI)制图方法:海岸特征(ESIC)、社会经济因素(ESISE)、生物(ESIB)和渔业资源(ESIF)。选择了相关的方法。核心数据集由基于GIS的环境地图集提供,该地图集与立陶宛沿海资源的其他相关GIS数据一起更新。绘制了四张ESI图,并绘制了一张总体环境敏感性指数(OESI)图。结果表明,在发生石油泄漏的情况下,由于其生物和社会经济资源,需要优先考虑两个地区:库伦斯皮特岛上Nida–Juodkrantė定居点(CS)与帕兰加和什文托吉定居点之间的大陆海岸线(MC)之间25公里长的海岸线。
This research develops an integrated environmental assessment tool for Lithuanian coastal area that takes due account of the major oil spill risks posed by the D-6 oil drilling platform, vessel traffic in the southeastern Baltic Sea, and operation of the Būtingė oil terminal. The goal of this paper is to present an environmental sensitivity index (ESI) mapping approach based on four specific indexes: coastal features (ESIC), socio–economic aspects (ESISE), biological (ESIB) and fishery resources (ESIF). The relevant methodology approach was selected. The core dataset is provided by GIS–based environmental atlas updated with other relevant GIS data of Lithuanian coastal resources. Four ESI maps were developed and an overall environmental sensitivity index (OESI) map produced. Results indicate that in the case of an oil spill, two areas need to be prioritized due to their biologic and socio–economic resources: the 25 km long shoreline between the settlements of Nida–Juodkrantė on the Curonian Spit (CS) and the mainland coast (MC) between the settlements Palanga and Šventoji.
