Abstract: | Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is based on the results of effect prediction. In general, there is much diversity in
the expertise in the field of environmental prediction between the different categories of actors involved in EIA. In practice
it became obvious in The Netherlands that the accessibility and comprehensibility of existing relevant information was insufficient.
For improvement, a series of systematic handbooks on effect prediction, useful for all categories of actors, has been developed
in The Netherlands. In this way, the selection of effect prediction methods to be used in concrete circumstances is improved
and speeded up for all parties involved in environmental prediction. After a discussion of the purpose of the handbook, the
realization and structure of the series are presented. Finally, the use and (potential) benefits of the handbooks for environmental
management are indicated. |
