Urban expansion creates increasing pressure on coastal areas, along with land use change, growing tourism and construction of large infrastructures.
To control this phenomenon it is absolutely imperative to characterize and monitor the physical situation of the coastal system, from the prospective of sustainable growth at regional, provincial and local level.

Preciso coast (eng) by Planetek Italia
Tecnical characteristicPreciso® coast permits the classification of every length of coast regarding its morphology and other variations (expansion, retraction or stability).
Works on ports are identified and classified according to type and use (industrial/commercial port, quay, dock, military port, etc.), while public defence works are surveyed and categorized by type (submerged and raised rocks, armoured delta, etc.)
Informative content
Preciso® coast is made up of geometrically congruent georeferenced layers*:
- Coastline
- Beach limit
- Raised beaches
- Port works
- Defence works
- Statistical indicators
- Preciso® Italia orthoimages
It is also possible to add DTM, where available, which permits the 3D visualization of data.
(*) Where there are historical data, informative levels can be supplied for each era, giving the dynamic trend of the coast.
