Generally, the development of a dedicated UCIT system involves a four-step approach,
preceded by an initial step. The approach must be iterative, meaning that the various steps are filled in (partly) simultaneously and steps may influence each other.
...
This initial step is used to figure out whether it is possible to define the main management
problems in terms of the "frame of reference". Especially three items are important:
- Fill in the 'basic' frame of reference for the coastal area under consideration:
...
- is it possible to define relevant CSIs?
...
- is data available to realise the CSIs?
...
- is it possible to define and develop methods to quantify the CSIs from data?
*After it is concluded that it is really possible to develop a UCIT the next steps can be
implemented.
- is it possible to define and develop methods to quantify the CSIs from data?
Step 1: Initialising the UCIT environment
