Daniella Novis Vatine
Daniella Novis Vatine is a doctoral candidate at the Technion’s Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, where she studies integrated coastal and marine spatial planning. Her current research focuses on assessing how planning strategies in the Gulf of Eilat integrate land (terrestrial), intertidal, and submerged marine areas in alignment with sustainable planning principles. The study emphasizes the interactions between human activities and the natural environment within Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) and Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), which can effectively contribute to the conservation of sensitive ecosystems.
Daniella has over 15 years of experience in architectural and environmental planning, primarily with the consulting firm Aviv, where she has led environmental consulting for large-scale projects involving governmental bodies. She has served as an environmental consultant on various national plans and policy programs, including those related to open space and biodiversity, sustainable infrastructure and urban regeneration, climate change and renewable energy initiatives, in addition to conducting environmental impact assessments.
She holds a Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) from the Technion and a Master of Arts (MA) from the Porter School of Environmental Studies at Tel Aviv University.
