| Opis: | Light pollution is a serious problem in majority of European countries, with negative effects on the environment, animal life and human health. Not only light pollution is causing unnecessary electricity consumption, it also prevents the citizens to enjoy the dark night sky. Following the experience in Slovenia and Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy with approaching this problem, we proposed a joined effort to perform field measurements of the light pollution, increase the awareness of this issue to the public and the policy makers in Macedonia. Light pollution is a very interdisciplinary field that necessitates the collaboration of policy makers, environmentalist, amateur and professional astronomers.
The proposal was submitted to proESOF initiative in Trieste, Italy. This initiative consists of the organisation of collaborative events in North East Italy and the Balkan countries where the objective is to spread science for the benefit to the citizens. ProESOF events will happen before 2020, after which the main event “Trieste – European City of Science” will follow. Our proposal has been positively judged by the proESOF evaluators, and currently we are waiting for their decision regarding the financial support they will provide. The first step will to train a group of people to perform field measurements of light pollution. The second step is to share these results, so the target is the general public in Macedonia. To successfully fight light pollution, anti-light pollution laws have to be made and enforced, so relevant politicians and law makers in Macedonia will be included. We will use the local team who has experience and contacts with the media, so that this event gets covered well. This will be a first meeting of this kind in Skopje, Macedonia which will join experts of the region and offer new ideas to fight light pollution in Macedonia and the Balkans. Macedonia is one of the few countries that is lacking any initiative when it comes to light pollution. It is very important to act timely, also because in Macedonia there are still some regions with dark sky that can be saved. Italy and Slovenia have collaborated previously on several occasion regarding light pollution: the purpose of the project Public Lighting of the Future that was running from 2011 to 2014 was to create a common methodology and database. After our proposed workshop and measurement, the aim will be to include Macedonia in this common effort to fight light light pollution. |
