The SYMSITES Project

The SYMSITES project aims at developing new technologies and solutions based on the Industrial and Urban symbiosis (I-US) concept, for local and regional collaborations among diverse actors (Citizens, Municipalities and Enterprises) and sectors, improving the sustainability of the use of industrial and societal resources, starting from wastewater and waste materials. SYMSITES scope of action is Industrial Urban symbiosis and its social, economic and environmental impact on different European regions.

SYMSITES pillars are

• to enable new technology
• to develop the EcoSite model for regional implementation of I-US
• to enable High Value New Resources (HVNR) capability to leverage I-US adoption
• to develop an IT based Regional Management Platform (ITRMP) to conceive, check feasibility, plan and manage I-US Eco-Sites
• to involve Social Actors as part of the social, economic and environmental bottom line.

(Consult the official SYMSITES website for more information about the project.)

The ĸ-SDSS in the IT based Regional Management Platform (ITRMP)

The ITRMP is an advanced tools for decision and management support to foster replication and ease implementation during each phase of an I-US system evolution (scoping and feasibility, planning and development, ramp-up management and upgrade) for all key actors and stakeholders.

The DSS (Decision Support System) component helps the process of assessment, adoption, implementation and ramp-up of EcoSite based I-US.

The ĸ-SDSS is the DSS component for improving I-US policymaking by explicitly including the social dimension in decision-making.

ĸ-SDSS Documentation

ĸ-SDSS User’s Manual

This documentation is provided by KlinK within the scope of the SYMSITES project and is intended to help SYMSITES partners and users in the use and improvement of the k-SDSS module.

If you already know what to do, you can access the k-SDSS module of the ITRMP platform.

Otherwise, please keep on reading!

If you are planning to get the most out of this application, the k-SDSS User's Manual contains detailed information on the approach, its application, and best practice. Following this guidance you will understand and successfully utilise the system.
