SmartConservation
• A method of identifying, evaluating and prioritizing landscape resources for their potential habitat health and viability.
• A weighted hierarchical model for evaluating arbitrary areas of land in Southeast Pennsylvania for their conservation value.

What is SmartConservation?A Decision Support System for assessing the ecological/conservation value of a given site:
- Model- Web-based assessment tool- Data Sets – existing + derived maps- Green Infrastructure Plan

Objectives
Score any arbitrary polygon in Piedmont region Use publicly available data (mostly) Generate Comparable Scores Make all assessments available to all users Integrate data with processes and make available
to organizations that don’t have access to analysis tools.

Watershed Land Cover1. Buffer site by 2 miles
2. Using site as pour point, calculate upstream watershed
3. Clip to 2 mile buffer.
4. Calculate Zonal mean of aquatic land cover

Avencia12 March 2004: Int’l Conf. on Community Indicators
Riparian Corridor Fragmentation
1. Clip Land Cover to Site Boundary
2. Clip Site Land Cover to the Stream Corridor
3. Reclass using Aquatic Land Cover and site survey adjustments
4. Average the Land Cover Values
5. Calculate NeighborhoodVariety
6. Convert to a 0-10 scale and Average for corridors
7. Lather, Rinse, Repeat….

Marginal Value Analysis
This map will identify areas where the scenario is in greatest conflict with conservation goals.
Consequently it identifies places where conservation will have the greatest benefit based on:
•Their ability to contribute toward goals.•The threat to them based on expected change in condition from current.•Their net cost (acquisition, incentives, lost economic activity, etc.)• Confidence values can be applied to determine the confidence that altering the land use in a planning unit will have the desired effect.

Lessons
Partnerships: Public-Private-Academic partnerships work Funding: Funding is not scarce, but funders want measurable
results. Web: Web-based systems cost more initially and have user
interaction limitations, but they cost less to care and feed. (though this is changing…)
GIS: It’s essential but shouldn’t be the center. Requirements change: Design modular, hierarchical systems. Testing: Involve prospective audience before systems are
‘complete’. Security and Privacy: Logins, differential access, PNDI, land
deals. Integration: It’s is harder than it looks. System Metrics: Design them into the system. Multi-Lingual: Consider if it’s important for your project. Intellectual Property

Challenges
User Interface: Providing sophisticated functionality in an easy-to-use interface is difficult.
Privacy/Security: Legal/Cultural challenges around privacy and security.
Integration: Common interface vs. Universal Information Store Computer Power: Complex Geoprocessing and Statistical
routines are hard on the web with multiple simultaneous users. Metric Documentation and Calculation Infrastructure Technology Licensing Costs Changing Technology Modeling Uncertainty Versioning Interpretation vs. ‘Raw’ Data Outcomes / Evaluation
