dc.description.abstractFor the most effective and efficient management of certain natural resources (e.g. protected areas) and disasters (e.g.wildfires) transboundary approaches are needed. In addition in the management of protected areas, the role of wildfireshould be incorporated, something that was ignored in the past and led to catastrophic wildfires. The Black Sea is aregion that wildfires in the protected areas are expected to increase. This has to do with the abandonment of rural areasand the higher temperatures, especially during summer, due to climate change. Interesting is also the fact that somecountries of the region have extensive experience while other do not have neither the experience nor the necessaryinfrastructures to face large wildfires. A transboundary collaboration would be very beneficial to the countries withlimited experiences and capacities to suppress wildfires. The objective of this study is to be proactive by developinginnovative tools to help suppress wildfires and enhancing the knowledge on wildfires and protected areas. Theinnovative tools included 4 different research activities and products. Firstly, an online Digital Geodatabase for the sixpilot areas was developed. Next forest fire fuels and maps were developed while a forest fire behavior model was run tocreate the overall fire risk maps for the pilot areas. To estimate water resources and watershed streamflows thehydrologic model SWAT was validated and calibrated for the pilot areas. The final activities included a multi-criteriadecision analysis to select the optimal location of the water reservoirs and the use of spatial analyst to provide theoptimal routes to reach reservoirs by the fire vehicles. To enhance the responsible agency personnel along withstakeholders knowledge of the region, a Neighborhood Network with regular quarterly meetings was established.Participants for all six project countries were present in the meetings. Overall, new tool that will enhance wildfiresuppression in protected area were developed while the awareness of wildfire danger and the importance of protectedareas increased
