“…For example, in port n • 45, material must be dried before dumping. To deal with these environmental issues, new research on the reutilization of dredged material is being performed [36,37]. 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009…”

Engineering infrastructures require regular maintenance and/or repair activities that have important social, environmental, and economic impacts. Despite their growing importance, few studies have focused on fully integrated analyses. This work presents a general methodological approach to design databases of engineering maintenance activities for their assessment. This methodology was applied to the case of dredging projects in the ports managed by the Andalusian Regional Government (Spain). The resulting database contains 87 fields of information obtained from the analysis of 70 activities performed between 1993 and 2015. This database is free, public, and available to the scientific community, and it was implemented in PostgreSQL using the PostGIS extension for spatial data; therefore, it can be integrated in a GIS. The assessment of deviations from the initial projects and the comparison between locations enhanced our methodology, which represents a valuable tool not only for scientists and managers to improve the decision-making process when planning future strategies, but also to evaluate the environmental impacts.

“…DTM'ler, ince kum, silt-kil, besin elementleri ve az da olsa organik madde içermeleri sebebiyle iyileştirilmiş yüzey toprağı olarak kentsel peyzaj uygulamalarında kullanılabilir; ancak, tuz giderimi, susuzlaştırma, eleme, organik iyileştirme, pH ayarı gibi işlemlerden geçirilmeleri gerekmektedir [63,64]. Gerek beton gerekse karayolu dolgu malzemesi uygulamalarında kullanılan agregaların silt-kil fraksiyonu, Klorür ve Sülfat içerikleri de önemli olup [65,66], beton basınç dayanımında ve yol taşıma gücünde zayıflama, donatı korozyonu, genleşme, yer altı sularına kontaminasyon vb.…”

“…In the 1980's a soil factory was established by the Scottish Development Agency and the Clyde Port Authority along the river Clyde, Scotland, which produced 2000 tonnes of topsoil per week; feasibility studies have also been conducted in the USA and Republic of Ireland (Sheehan et al, 2010).…”

The ecosystem services approach endeavours to incorporate the economic value of ecosystems into decision making. This is because many natural resources are subject to market failure. As a result many economic decisions omit the impact that natural resource use has on the earth's resources and the life support system it provides. Hence, one of the objectives of the ecosystem services approach is to employ economic valuation of natural resources in micro-and macro-economic policy design, implementation and evaluation.
