“…For dredging projects in general a wide range of concepts and decision-making frameworks have been proposed (Bates et al, 2015;Manap and Voulvoulis, 2014;Palermo et al, 2008) in an attempt to limit and reduce the environmental consequences. The complex legislation and the negative public perception of dredging make managing the process a challenge (Cutroneo et al, 2014;Hamburger, 2002). Conflicts can appear between the different stakeholders and projects are consequently subjected to delays or cancellation.…”

The aim of the research was to create a decision-making model, which would be able to support planning, organizing and conducting the dredging works in the port area. The proposed solution is a multiple element system which enables to verify, in a comprehensive way, the majority of the aspects determining the quality and the time of dredging enterprise realization. The paper presents an original approach to the decision-making process during the organization of dredging works, using the computer program. In order to achieve the main goal of the study, the conditions of dredging works were considered. Furthermore, the factors that have an influence on the schedule of the project were evaluated and algorithms, as well as process organization schemes, were developed. If it is not enough, the decision models corresponding to the discussed issue were analysed and the computer program was created. And last but not the least, the proposed project and equipment were verified using a simulation model. While creating this model, the method of multiple criteria AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) decision support was used. Moreover, the mass service model with the priority queue regulations, the expert study, and statistical analysis of the traffic flow, were provided. The model was developed in reliance to multiple criteria studies, based on the opinions of multinational experts. These enabled to adjust each element of the system in accordance with various locations. As a result of the research, the following thesis has been proven, that detailed analysis of the conditions of dredging works and taking into account the received conclusions enables to reduce the costs and shorten the time of dredging projects realizations.

“…One of the main aims of this WebGIS interface is a fluid and efficient communication between the stakeholders involved in the dredging (technical communication).WebGIS streamlines the monitoring process as data input, integration of data from different sources, map representation and database queries (Cutroneo et al 2014). This tool accessible anytime and anywhere offers a decision support system to the SPW.…”

“…As in most European countries (Cutroneo et al 2014), a large number of stakeholders are involved in the management of rivers and lakes in Wallonia. They are in charge of technical aspects (client and dredging operators, organisations involved in the treatment of waste…), management aspects (managers involved in WFD implementation at communal, provincial or regional level) or policy aspects (people responsible for policy compliance or legislation revision).…”

ABSTRACT:This paper describes a WebGIS prototype developed for the Walloon administration to improve the communication and the management of sediments dredging actions carried out in rivers and lakes. In Wallonia, levelling dredged sediments on banks requires an official authorization from the administration. This request refers to geospatial datasets such as the official land use map, the cadastral map or the distance to potential pollution sources. Centralising geodatabases within a web interface facilitate the management of these authorizations for the managers and the central administration. The proposed system integrates various data from disparate sources. Some issues in map scale, spatial search quality and cartographic visualisation are discussed in this paper with the solutions provided. The prototype web application is currently discussed with some potential users in order to understand in which way this tool facilitate the communication, the management and the quality of the authorisation process. The structure of the paper states the why, what, who and how of this communication tool with a special focus on errors and uncertainties.
