战略环境评价中战略筛选研究

战略环境评价是对战略及其替代方案的环境影响进行系统、正式的评价过程，在分析评价战略的类型和特点的基础上提出评价战略筛选的三个原则，即必要性、可行性和时效性原则；分析了五种具体的筛选方法；最后提出筛选工作程序。     

战略环境评价指标体系建立及实证研究

在分析战略环境评价指标体系建立及5个指标类型的基础上，指出了指标筛选8项原则，筛选过程以及指标仅值确定方法。以中国能源战略环境评价实例进行了实证研究。     

实施战略环境评价(SEA)的基本框架设计及SEA管理模式的实现

根据中国实际状况，提出实施SEA的基本框架及应遵循的基本原则，从内部评价和外部评价两方面设计了相应的SEA管理模式。同时，以上海即将实施规划层次环境影响评价为背景，以ASP技术为手段，开发了一个基于B／S模式的SEA管理信息系统(SEA-MIS)原型。     

东北地区地下水资源可持续利用与发展战略决策研究

建立东北地区水资源优化配置模型,得出东北地区地下水可持续开发利用方案,提出适合东北地区地下水可持续发展的战略决策。     

战略环评中环境合理性综合论证要点分析——以矿产资源总体规划环评为例

对矿产资源总体规划环评中的环境影响识别与预测评价以及资源环境承载力影响评价进行了简述,提出了矿产资源总体规划环评中环境合理性综合论证要点。其结论可为国内开展矿产资源总体规划环评提供技术参考,对于其他针对空间规划的环境影响评价也具有较强的借鉴意义。     

城市规划的战略环境影响评价方法研究

在分析城市规划环评基本程序的基础上,总结了城市规划环评应关注的重点内容,并针对城市规划的核心问题——用地布局的环境影响评价,提出了以环境问题为导向的评价方法。     

规划环评工作存在的问题及应对策略

规划环评符合科学发展观的要求,因此要从战略的高度认识和推进规划环评工作。规划环评的缺失隐含巨大的环境风险,我国的规划环评工作进展缓慢,制度中存在许多问题。为此政府部门必须依法开展规划环评工作;改革完善现有的规划环评体制;加快立法,严肃执法;建立社会公众参与环境保护的制度;加大对违法行为的惩处力度。     

First steps in strategic environmental assessment (SEA) adoption for coastal planning in Sicily (South Italy)

The Industrial District (I.D.) of Messina was the first public authority to consider useful the application of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) procedure for the development of an Industrial Plan regarding a coastal area. At the moment the I.D. includes six areas, but the application of the SEA concerns only the area of Pace del Mela (along the north-eastern coast of Sicily), where a “District of the two Seas” will be created, based on the synergetic development between an industrialized niche (shipbuilding) and touristic development (port and hotels). The area in which this type of intervention will occur is not in use at the moment and it was not possible to collect environmental data. For this reason, in order to describe the environmental features of this territory, we took into consideration a few indicators which could be easily identified, necessary for a post evaluation which considers the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the industrial and suburban structures to be built.     

Strategic Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programs: A Methodology for Estimating Effects on Biodiversity

We developed a methodology for biodiversity evaluations within the process of Strategic Environmental Assessment and we applied it to the estimation of the effect of two Regional Plans of Development on all bird species inhabiting the Castilla y León region (northwestern Spain). The methodology is based on the evaluation of the effects of main development actions on the habitat requirements of species. From these evaluations, and from data on the current distribution and population size (number of individuals) of each species, we estimated the most likely pattern of distribution and population size after the full implementation of the plans for each species. The impacts of the plans were quantified as the differences between the pre- and postproject patterns after codifying them to compensate for differences in the quality of the information available among species. Overall, we conclude that the proposed methodology fulfills the requirements for its use within the SEA process as it allows for the assessment of cumulative impacts on every species, highlighting the development directions and the habitat types with major impacts, and ascertaining whether impacts affect species with either low or high conservation and/or economic value. Generalization of the proposed methodology to other regions or species will require wildlife-habitat models adequate for SEA analyses, so that we also propose guidelines for the development and validation of these models.     

An analytical framework for strategic delta planning: negotiating consent for long-term sustainable delta development

Sectoral planning on water, agriculture and urban development has not been able to prevent increased flood risks and environmental degradation in many deltas. Governments conceive strategic delta planning as a promising planning approach and develop strategic delta plans. Such plans are linked to actions and means for implementation in the short-term, in line with long-term strategic choices. This paper introduces an analytical framework that focuses on the role of actors, innovative solutions and participatory planning tools in negotiating consent for the strategic choices in a delta plan and its implementation. Cases of Bangladesh, the Netherlands and Vietnam are discussed as a plausibility probe to explore the framework's potential. The probe reveals that the framework is promising to explain the process and outcomes of strategic delta planning in urbanizing deltas. The paper ends with an initial research agenda to stimulate research and discussion on this new delta planning approach.
