The aim of the ISHTAR Project is to build an advanced software suite for the analysis of the effects of measures implemented in time scales ranging from a few hours to one year to improve the quality of the environment, citizens' health and conservation of monuments. The suite will include both existing and newly developed models, covering the areas of citizens' behaviour in terms of movements, urban transport, vehicle emissions of noise and pollutants, accident occurrence, pollutants dispersion, noise propagation, population exposure and health risk assessment, monuments degradation, cost benefit and multicriteria analysis. These tools will be integrated with the use of a GIS and user-friendly interface software. The models suite will be an innovative tool for advanced urban management and will allow the integrated analysis of the various environmental effects of technical and non-technical measures. This will represent an attractive alternative to the usual separated analysis of the effects of such measures on the various elements of the urban environment.
