“…Cabe adelantar que estas herramientas han sido ampliamente desarrolladas en el ámbito de la planificación y evaluación ambiental. Los sistemas de indicadores han sido valorados como una de las mejores herramientas, ya que acumulan una experiencia importante en materia de seguimiento y evaluación de instrumentos de planificación territorial y ambiental (Gao, Kornov y Christensen, 2013). El éxito de los indicadores radica en su doble función como herramienta científica de medición y de comunicación entre actores territoriales.…”

Este artículo destaca la importancia de un buen marco conceptual para abordar los procesos de seguimiento y evaluación en la ordenación del territorio en España. El objetivo de este trabajo es el de coordinar las distintas aportaciones teóricas que tratan el seguimiento y la evaluación en la ordenación del territorio con el fin de proponer una serie de elementos y factores clave para esta práctica en España. A través de un examen de la literatura académica internacional y nacional pertinente, así como del análisis de casos en las comunidades autónomas españolas se obtienen los elementos y factores claves propuestos. Entre estos, destacan la importancia de la gobernanza territorial y la coordinación entre actores territoriales, la participación ciudadana, el aprendizaje mutuo durante todo el proceso de planificación y la importancia de las experiencias previas en esta materia.

“…Indicators reduce the complexity of the provided information and allow a more effective transmission of value-added messages, supporting decisions on different policy and planning options as well as monitoring progress towards objectives and targets (Caeiro et al, 2012;Donnelly et al, 2007;Mascarenhas et al, 2015;Niemeijer and de Groot, 2008;Therivel, 2004). As noted above, indicators can play an important role in supporting management, planning, and participative evaluation processes (Gao et al, 2013;Hák et al, 2012). In particular, indicators are suggested as appropriate instruments for supporting water resources planning processes and SEA (Carter and Howe, 2006;Donnelly et al, 2006a;Therivel, 2004;Valenzuela Montes and Matarán Ruiz, 2008;Wong, 2005).…”

“…Communication is one of the most emphasized goals of the use of indicators (European Environment Agency, 2005;Gao et al, 2013). In the study conducted by (Santos Coelho et al, 2018) the information reporting to the public and decision-makers on the basis of indicators was frequently mentioned and emphasized in the documents, and in most of the technical and environmental reports analyzed the relevant information was presented in a final synthesis matrix supported by indicators.…”

Water resources planning is currently designed to meet emerging challenges and encompassing a more comprehensive and integrated water management. The main focus of current water resources planning is to promote good water resource conditions through the * Corresponding author. implementation of innovative water policies. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to characterize and assess the status of water resources, monitor the implementation of planned actions, disseminate information and support the decision-making process. Indicators are often regarded as appropriate tools for supporting these tasks, although their use in this context is not imperative. The present study intends to explore the stakeholder perspective on the role of indicators in the water resources planning and management processes and their strategic environmental assessment process using a Portuguese case study. To achieve this objective, semi-structured interviews with the various stakeholder groups involved were conducted. The treatment of the obtained data using content analysis shows that the interviewees consider indicators to be an essential tool for supporting water resources planning. Some participants express concerns and suggest changes to the selection models and to the communication and decision-support capacity of the sets of indicators used. All stakeholders in the process consider that improvements to the indicators to be used in future processes are possible. In light of the results, it can be concluded that there is a long way to go for indicators to be used to promote better communication with stakeholders and to support decision-making processes; simultaneously, they can form the basis for the review and development of the subsequent cycle of the planning process.

“…According to Taiwan government SEA instructions, the impact considered in a SEA should include environmental capacity, natural ecology and landscape, human health and safety, the use of land resources, water resources system and its use, cultural assets, international environmental norms, Manuscript society and economy. One of the objectives of SEA is to establish indicators [1], [2] and to select the most appropriate alternative of possible policies. Once the indicators are established, a comprehensive evaluation of each alternative can be conducted to determine whether the main policy is the most preferred.…”

Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is a systematic decision support process by which environmental, economic and social considerations are considered effectively in policy, plan and programme. Taiwan SEA involves eight categories and 33 criteria. One of the objectives of SEA is to establish indicators and to select the most appropriate alternative of possible policies. Once the indicators are established, a comprehensive evaluation of each alternative can be conducted to determine whether the main policy is the most preferred. A total of 28 Taiwan SEA cases, from 2001 to 2016, are reviewed policy EIA specifications from 1990 to 105 and the result shows that most of the cases did not have a clear comprehensive assessment method. Another type of 7 cases has a clear and comprehensive assessment method, which is AHP. However, if their indicators are classified according to the sustainable development model, Drivers-Pressures-State-Impacts-Response, the relationship between indicators should be networked, non-independent, causal, and some indicators are midpoint and dome are endpoints, they are therefore not applicable to AHP because of double counting. Moreover, the impact of a policy is extensive, in addition to the direct effects on the regions in which the policy is implemented, the indirect and cumulative effects on the region and even the global should be considered. Therefore, the life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA), involving Life cycle assessment (LCA), Life cycle costing (LCC) and Social life cycle assessment (S-LCA), is used as the impact assessment tool for SEA because it can establish the impact pathway of its life cycle sustainability impact assessment (LCSIA) to clarify its causal relationship and midpoints and endpoints. Based on the midpoint indicators, the indicators for SEA are developed. Index Terms-Strategic environmental assessment, life cycle sustainability impact assessment, DPSIR framework.

Do indicators influence communication in SEA? — Experience from the Chinese practice

Abstract: (planning, energy, land use, forestry, etc.), the involvement of the public and NGOs is still not well implemented in Chinese SEA practice, and the direction of communication is mainly one-way channel of providing information rather than a two-way channel of dialogue and participation.
