investigating urban environmental conditions, informs us about the unsustainability and excessivedegradation of ecological context, which result in rising environmental concerns among the society. classifiedinformation about the status and trends of environmental components is needed as a rational tool to help urbansustainable planning and soer reports can help provide such information. prepari...

human habitat change is a complicated issue that many factors play different roles in its formation and distribution. considering this complication, a more comprehensive and holistic approach is needed for a better understanding and management of those factors. the causal frameworks are among systemic and integrated methods for addressing the causes of environmental problems and the relationshi...

This paper presents an original approach to Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for supporting decision-making processes in Local Land-Use Planning (LLUP) which integrates a set of frameworks and methodologies into technologies based on the use of Geographic Information. The technologies embrace the domain of Planning Support Systems (PSS), whose architecture is based on the Geodesign fram...

A decision support framework for the management of lagoon ecosystems was tested using four European Lagoons: Ria de Aveiro (Portugal), Mar Menor (Spain), Tyligulskyi Liman (Ukraine) and Vistula Lagoon (Poland/Russia). Our aim was to formulate integrated management recommendations for European lagoons. To achieve this we followed a DPSIR (Drivers-Pressures-State Change-Impacts-Responses) approac...

Determining and assessing the links between human pressures and state-changes in marine and coastal ecosystems remains a challenge. Although there are several conceptual frameworks for describing these links, the Drivers-Pressures-State change-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework has been widely adopted. Two possible reasons for this are: either the framework fulfills a major role, resulting from ...
