TY - GEN ED - Schmidt, Michael ED - João, Elsa ED - Albrecht, Eike T1 - Implementing strategic environmental assessment N2 - More countries are now using Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) than ever before. This timely and comprehensive Handbook describes the implementation of SEA in 18 countries around the world, as well as a critical analysis of different SEA methodologies. The Handbook starts by introducing key SEA principles and the legal requirements of the new European SEA Directive (which became law in 2004). It then describes the implementation of SEA in 11 European Union countries, as well as the USA, Canada and New Zealand. This is contrasted with SEA requirements of four developing countries. The Handbook explores public participation issues and the wide-range of SEA methodologies used in terms of resources (soils, water and biodiversity) and sectors of activity (transport, agriculture, waste management and industry). The Handbook concludes with a discussion on best practice, capacity building and the future of SEA.

N2 - Die hochwertige baulich-räumliche Gestaltung von Städten ist eine grundlegende Qualität, die nicht nur von der Allgemeinheit, sondern auch in der planerischen Ausbildung postuliert wird. Angesichts sich grundlegend wandelnder Rahmenbedingungen scheint die Realisierung städtebaulicher Qualitäten in der planerischen Praxis jedoch immer weniger möglich zu sein. Auf nahezu allen Maßstabsebenen wird die räumliche Planung zunehmend durch ökonomische, politische oder demographische Sachzwänge determiniert und das unter bereits erschwerenden Wachstums- wie Schrumpfungsbedingungen. Das Ergebnis, die real existierende Gestalt der Stadt, erscheint dabei mehr und mehr als zufälliges Nebenprodukt. Vor diesem Hintergrund gilt es, sich verstärkt mit den aktuellen und zukünftigen Herausforderungen für die räumlich-baulich gestaltenden Professionen auseinanderzusetzen. Wichtige Fragestellungen sind dabei: Welchen Spielraum kann städtebauliche Gestaltungskompetenz angesichts einer Dominanz von Sachzwängen und effizienzorientierter Entscheidungslogik noch besitzen? Welche Beiträge leistet die Qualität der Stadtgestaltung für die Zukunftsfähigkeit eines Raumes? Ist sie ein zu vernachlässigender "weicher Standortfaktor" oder weist sie eigene immanente Werte auf? Was bedeutet Gestaltungsqualität auf unterschiedlichen räumlichen Maßstabsebenen? Welche materiellen und institutionellen Investitionen sind für die Zukunft hochwertiger Planung und Raumgestaltung nötig? Diesen Fragen gingen Vertreter der Fachöffentlichkeit im Rahmen der Tagung "StadtQuartierRegion. Wie viel Gestaltung braucht Stadt?" nach, die anlässlich des 10-jährigen Bestehens des Studiengangs der Stadt- und Regionalplanung an der Brandenburgischen Technischen Universität Cottbus veranstaltet wurde. Der vorliegende Band stellt eine Dokumentation der Tagungsbeiträge und -diskussionen dar. Auf der Basis grundlegender Thesen zur Gestaltungskompetenz in der Planung werden die spezifischen Erfordernisse der räumlichen Bezugsgrößen Quartier, Stadt und Region behandelt.

In consideration of climate change and urban development interrelations, the research case for adapting to climate change and the risks and opportunities of adaptation are set out. Based on the in-depth assessment of the vulnerability of Ho Chi Minh City, the categorized urban environment in form of a spatially explicit information system will act as a matrix for the formulation of appropriate adaptation strategies for future development and redevelopmentpolicies. The resulting Adaptation Planning Framework should form the future basis for spatially-explicit decision-making processes related to sustainable urban planning and development in HCMC.

Eine marktoffene Geodateninfrastruktur auf der Basis international akzeptierter Standards (OGC, ISO) bildet hierbei die Voraussetzung für neue Wertschöpfungsketten bei der Gewinnung, Auswertung und Anwendung von Geoinformationen für Nutzer und Anbieter in den Verwaltungen, der Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft. Kernthese ist, dass in der neuen Wissens- und Informationsgesellschaft, auch Geoinformationen eine bedeutende Ressource darstellen. Eine Geoinformationsgesellschaft kann es sich nicht leisten, dass dieses bedeutende Wirtschaftsgut ineffektiv, d. h. in administrativen Strukturen, gemanagt wird. Es ist vielleicht nicht untypisch für ein Projekt „Geodateninfrastruktur“, dass es in der Initialphase von teilweise blindem technologischer Positivismus und einer unkritischen Marktideologie geprägt ist. Ohne das Auseinanderklaffen von Anspruch und Realität jedoch an Extrempositionen festzumachen, werden im Folgenden die wesentlichen Widersprüche des wertfreien Infrastrukturansatzes zur Erschließung der Ressource Geoinformation aufgezeigt.

This paper outlines the development contexts and the current barriers for adapted land-use planning within the city. The key challenge is how to affectively guide and influence the mainly individual developer driven urban development within a land-use planning system which aims to spatially and explicitly communicate the important functions and services of open and natural non built-up urban spaces. As the implementation of more spatially explicit non-structural adaptation measures is in strong contrast to the current market driven private and short-term developer interests, the main development trajectories are questioned and synergies identified.

In the real, terrain of the earth surface is always complicated by the natural and human made ground objects. Because of limitation of collecting and storing technologies in the past time, data are usually not detailed so that the data can not be full for the simulation. Besides computing power and simulation increase more day by day, the increasing requirements more detailed of topography surface simulation is a demand. In simulated flooding phenomenon or phenomena related to energy and momentum of water flow, the linear objects of ground surface such as roads, dikes, dams, etc. need to have their vertical dimension along continuously. However, these datas have often no height information alternately, there are only discrete elevation points that are extracted from topographic maps. Consequently, the demand of a suitable method for linear objects height interpolation is necessary. This paper aims to provide a method and evaluate its accuracy to meet this requirement.

T1 - Indicators for strategic environmental assessment in regional land use planning to assess conflicts with adaptation to global climate change T2 - Ecological Indicators N2 - The paper presents the use of indicators in a site-specific assessment method for strategic environmental assessment in regional land use planning (here: SEA-REP). It is explained with the example of the state of environment indicator ‘LUCCA 4—Urban Areas at Risk of Flooding’, how SEA as a decision-aiding instrument can contribute to the prevention of conflicts with policy for adaptation to climate change. The method begins with the determination of impact factors for SEA. In the presented study, the physical impact factors of land consumption, land use change, and directed flooding were recognised. A core problem during the selection of indicators for land uses for the adaptation to climate change (here: LUCCA) and the derivation of assessment thresholds was a lack of region-wide policy objectives for the protection of land and resources. Therefore, in a second step, regional environmental orientation objectives were derived from national and EU environmental policy. A standard method for the selection of LUCCA indicators and the derivation of assessment thresholds for conflict analysis is described. Three classes of conflict classification for regional plan designations on the individual site are proposed. It is recommended that future adaptation measures of regional land use planning should be designations of specific land uses as priority areas for urban areas prone to flood risk.

The rapid urbanisation and dense population growth in the past twenty years have significantly affected the city’s land use, and have had adverse effects on urban flooding, urban climate, and its vulnerability to climate change. Land-use planning, at the same time, is a key measure for adjusting and helping the city to adapt to the environmental consequences and climate change impacts through the integration of environmental components and urban climate management. The study included a literature review for the situation analysis, followed by in-depth, semi-structured interviews with the Ho Chi Minh City authorities to understand the challenges and potential for such integration. The results showed that planning authorities are facing challenges in incorporating environmental considerations due to a barrier of legislation, enforcement regime, and an absence of an integrated framework. The study also pointed out three relevant proposals that would support efforts, including environmental and climate issues in land-use planning: (1) a strong integrated framework regime for climate change strategies, with collaboration among authorities and planners with appropriate policies, management systems and norms; (2) the effective implementation of strategic environmental assessment for land-use planning; and (3) land-use zoning. While the framework regime and strategic environmental assessment require nationwide policy and enforcement as well as methodological tools, land-use zoning needs more careful management adjustment for acceptance and adoption at the city and local levels.

But they did not allow continuous settlement from antiquity until today. It is often assumed that breaks in settlement history were due to over-exploitation of the environment, e.g. overgrazing and soil erosion.

T1 - The Potential of Progressive Development T2 - Progressive Development : To Mitigate the Negative Impact of Global Warming on the Semi-arid Regions N2 - The overview of developments in the desert makes clear that Progressive Development is already implemented is many areas, although it is not acknowledged as such and a coordinating master plan is missing. International plans would be very desirable, since water is a transboundary issue. For example, exploitation of the Disi aquifer led to conflict between Jordan and Saudi Arabia [1]. Jordan, Syria, Israel and Palestine share the Yarmouk River as the primary freshwater resource, which is a very sensitive political issue.

Supposedly, overgrazing and farming caused erosion, and irrigation led to salinization. Considering the gaps in settlement history, mismanagement is considered a prime reason for abandonment [1–3]. If this is so, Progressive Development might be doomed to fail, because the soils are already degraded and will inevitably degrade further. Climate variations, however, can also lead to degradation, and might have caused the fluctuations of settlement history. The correct assessment of the past will be most important for evaluating the impact of Progressive Development. This and the geographic law of soil zonality allow predicting how soils and the environment will develop under irrigation and permanent vegetation.

T1 - The Socio-Economic Framework: What Can be Learned from Earlier Failures? T2 - Progressive Development : To Mitigate the Negative Impact of Global Warming on the Semi-arid Regions N2 - Large-scale irrigation projects are theoretically beneficial; however there are examples of outstanding failures which partly led to ecological catastrophes. We think that irrigation per se does not necessarily lead to land degradation. Even in the famous case of the Mesopotamian plains, the idea that ancient Sumerian irrigation caused irreversible salinization [1] is far less evident than often assumed in the public discussion[2].

T1 - Discussion and Conclusion T2 - Progressive Development : To Mitigate the Negative Impact of Global Warming on the Semi-arid Regions N2 - The current discussion of “sustainability” focuses on aspects of conserving the environmental status quo. However, the environmental history of the desert belts is characterized by strong environmental fluctuations, and modern technology started to irreversibly change societies living in arid regions, initiating a growth which long since crossed the limits that could be supported by renewable resources. Due to these conditions, it seems unlikely that “sustainability” in the conservative meaning of preserving the status quo will be feasible in the desert belts. In fact, Progressive Development is already implemented, though not recognised as such and without coordinating master plans.

T1 - Strategic Environmental Assessment to Assess and Monitor Sustainable Resource Use in Progressive Development: Potentials and Limitations T2 - Progressive Development : To Mitigate the Negative Impact of Global Warming on the Semi-arid Regions N2 - Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is recognised by a vast number of countries worldwide as an important instrument for integrating environmental concerns into development strategies – policies, plans and programmes [1]. SEA is a planning and decision-aiding tool that informs decision-makers about potential effects of development strategies on the environment. In the EU it is legally defined by the EC SEA Directive.

Bodenschutz bedeutet nicht nur, die Nutzungsfunktionen der Böden in ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit zu erhalten bzw. wiederherzustellen, sondern auch, die natürlichen Bodenfunktionen vorsorgend zu schützen. Dabei hat der präventive Bodenschutz vor allem eine standortgerechte Nutzung von Flächen zum Ziel. Vor allem für planerische Zwecke werden künftig verstärkt bodenbezogene Bewertungskriterien und -abläufe erforderlich, die die Fähigkeit von Boden zur Erfüllung verschiedener Funktionen im Naturhaushalt kennzeichnen. Die Funktionsfähigkeit eines Bodens laßt sich dabei beispielsweise recht gut mit Hilfe seiner natürlichen Bodenfunktionen Produktions-, Lebensraum- und Regelungsfunktion beschreiben und bewerten.

Vulnerable attributes of heritage sites are conveying irreplaceable values that make it much more complicated to identify and analyse potential disaster losses to those elements. This paper aims to develop a methodology of disaster risk assessment specified to cultural heritage sites in an interdisciplinary framework. The existing methods and approaches of risk assessment as well as relevant global practices are applied to fulfil the aim.

Diarrhea remains a considerable public health problem in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam and we aimed to quantify variation in the impact of environmental conditions on diarrheal disease risk across the city. Using all inpatient diarrheal admissions data from three large hospitals within HCMC, we developed a mixed effects regression model to differentiate district-level variation in risk due to environmental conditions from the overarching seasonality of diarrheal disease hospitalization in HCMC. We identified considerable spatial heterogeneity in the risk of all-cause diarrhea across districts of HCMC with low elevation and differential responses to flooding, air temperature, and humidity driving further spatial heterogeneity in diarrheal disease risk. The incorporation of these results into predictive forecasting algorithms will provide a powerful resource to aid diarrheal disease prevention and control practices in HCMC and other similar settings.

The ecosystem is important for the different services it provides, such as agriculture, industry, fishing, food, drinking water, wood, shelter, medicine, employment, and esthetics. Petroleum production in the region is a major environmental issue, which impacts on the sustainable provision of these ecosystem services (ES), particularly among the resource-dependent poor communities. There is a paucity of information on the key drivers, including soil and coastal erosion, flooding, air and water pollution, gas flaring, and climate change. These problems occur at different gradients and variations in space and time that is not well understood. Mapping and modeling are important for the understanding of these drivers, including risks and trends over time. There are now different tools and methods for assessing ecosystem health across diverse landscapes, which include the use of remote sensing and geographical information systems, ecological models, participatory approaches, and expert opinion. Ecological models such as Ecosim with Ecopath, IMPACT, PODIUM, WaterGAP, and EcoServ-GIS are simplified mathematical expression of the complex interactions between the physical, biological, and socioeconomic elements of the ecosystems. Mapping and modeling of ES would enable evaluation of costs and benefits of various ES and provide useful information for decision makers for proper planning.

The benefits obtained from these mangrove ecosystems include a variety of economic, environmental, and social aspects. However, mangroves in this region have been impacted in recent times due to various anthropogenic activities, including oil pollution. In achieving the goal of a well-managed mangrove ecosystem services trade-off, we have come up with the analysis of the cost of the value of mangrove ecosystem services in the Niger Delta. The results from the valuation of mangroves in the Niger Delta are comparable with other estimates obtained elsewhere in the world. Since many stakeholders derive their livelihood from these mangrove ecosystem services, the threats to the mangroves demand immediate and urgent attention through development of conservation policy options with the involvement of community members for mangrove conservation.

This paper aims to review the existing methodologies, approaches, and tools regarding Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) methodology, and to develop an impact assessment procedure in the context of new urban development. The methodology is applied to the case of Masjed-e Jame of Isfahan. The required data is collected through a fieldwork for identification and classification of impacts of Atiq project on the property. Subsequently, the collected data is analysed through impact assessment matrix, and eventually, appropriated mitigation strategies to reduce negative impacts on the property are determined. The proposed impact assessment methodology in the HIA procedure provides a systematic framework for identifying, assessing and mitigating potential impacts of new urban development on cultural heritage properties, which is supportive for urban planners, cultural decision makers, heritage conservators and experts toward developing more integrated approach to heritage protection in context of sustainable development.

The country earns a huge amount of money from oil sales from where she derives approximately 98% of her export earnings, making her a monoeconomy. Unfortunately, oil exploration over this period has left the environment of the region greatly degraded. This has negatively affected the economic, social, and cultural lives of the people. This chapter highlights the sociocultural implications of crude oil exploration on the people of the Niger Delta, from where the vast majority of crude oil is explored. Oil exploration has resulted in huge land take, oil spills, and gas flaring. The result is that the agricultural land and rivers for fishing have been polluted, thereby destroying the economic and social lives of the people. Food production is very low and poverty is widespread. Agitation for the restoration of the polluted environment by the youths has grown into deadly militancy. The cherished cultural values have eroded away and there are intra- and intercommunal clashes leading to huge casualties. To ameliorate the environmental degradation, the government should implement all the recommendations of the investigative reports on the Niger Delta environmental degradation according to international standards.

Nigeria, the twelfth largest producer of oil and gas in the world currently had its political economy around the oil, after her complete deviation from an agro-dependent economy in the early 1970s. The switch from agribusiness to oil seems to be a better channel of augmenting Nigeria’s income, but the joy of this new innovation was shortened due to various community crises and environment issues. This chapter seeks to access the harm of over dependency on oil in Nigeria, the social-political and economic consequences of the oil boom in Nigeria since its discovery. The study showed that the political fighters continue to control the people and the political procedures to achieve their selfish plan. On the other hand, the public remained helpless and wallow in abject poverty. The Nigerian state that could have intervened to provide remedy for the oil-related problem is culpable of high-level corruption, awful administration, and political instability.

With its regional location as hub in Southeast Asia, its airport, harbour and the intersection of main roads, the metropolis is well connected within the domestic as well as the most important international markets. Located downstream of the Saigon-Dong Nai River with a relatively flat terrain, the city traditionally has a strong relationship to water. It is located at the north-eastern fringe of the Mekong Delta and its southern part is connected to the east sea. Major parts of the city are situated on low-lying marshy lands that are crossed by a complex network of canals and rivers. These topographic and geographic conditions make the city extremely sensitive to various flood sources.

The developed framework provides support to incorporate the essential steps of integrated adaptation planning, which include the spatially explicit mapping of risks and recommended planning measures for risk reduction. Urban adaptation policies are often seen to interact with other policy goals, leading to an assortment of trade-offs and implementation constraints. Using an integrated planning approach, trade-offs and synergies were be explicitly mapped, going beyond the simple qualitative statements that have been used in many urban climate adaptation studies to date. The chapters of part “Urban Environment” present the results of the detailed analysis of three core urban adaptation policies, urban flood-risk management (Thinh et al. 2016, this volume), urban storm-water management (Rujner and Goedecke 2016, this volume) and urban heat-island mitigation (Katzschner et al. 2016, this volume), while the energy consumption of the transport sector is analysed as one important urban mitigation policy (Emberger 2016, this volume). These individual chapters are contextualised and framed by an introduction of the integrative planning framework for adapted land-use planning (Storch et al. 2016, this volume), recommendation for the administrative integration (Goedecke and Welsch 2016, this volume) and the explanation of the developed spatial information basis developed from an urban structure type approach (Downes et al. 2016, this volume).

Rapidly developing Asian megacities, like Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in Vietnam, need to become more resilient and less vulnerable to climate change. Our contribution takes spatial planning as the starting point. It highlights opportunities and challenges for spatially-explicit adaptation strategies in HCMC and shows how adaptation to climate change can be used to influence land-use planning and future urban development. Special attention is given to urban water management issues. Here the focus lies on risk management and non-structural protection measures to lessen climate-related urban risks. For rapidly developing mega-urban regions the need for focused support and guidance in formulating and embedding suitable adaptation policies and spatially explicit zoning regulations is apparent. Within its multi-stakeholder environment borne out of conflicting interests, land use planning requires more than ever science-based information to formulate spatially explicit and integrated urban climate adaptation policies.

An important prerequisite for establishing much needed efficient and proactive, as well as rapid, adaptation planning strategies is the spatial and rational characterisation of the current urban fabric according to vulnerability relevant features. In our work an understanding of urban settlement patterns and urban structures allowed for the capturing of the highly dynamic spatiotemporal social and structural changes associated with rapid urbanisation processes. The aim was an integrated assessment of the underlying the inherent urban resilience based on coherent and credible indicator sets. The approach provides a common spatial framework at the resolution of the urban block for data integration various thematic and scientific disciplines at the same spatial scale. The scale provides a clear instrument to generate portfolios of block-specific core indicators, move across scales, run scenarios and aggregate to larger planning horizons, ultimately useful to determine hotspots for administrative interventions and to assist prioritising in spatial planning decision-making.

At the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg in the project “ECO-Campus” different digitization concepts were developed. The Project is supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The goal of the project is to share university content on sustainability with international partner universities and to establish the subject especially in the curricula of courses which traditionally pay little attention to sustainability concepts. The Eco Campus platform forms the link between the students and these materials. Due to the high number of international students, who use the newly created and customized Moodle instance, there is a high degree of heterogeneity. At the same time at each partner university lecturers from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds are teaching, so that the materials for the envisaged Flipped Classroom concept must be provided flexibly. The portfolio of digital tools within the learning platform is diverse. The instance includes different scenarios for synchronous and asynchronous communication and collaboration. In addition, various formative and video-based assessments, gamification approaches and various Video formats are used. The methods follow at the macro level (total of all courses) Bruner's approach of the spiral curriculum and in the micro-level (a course) Kolb's experiential learning cycle.

The conferences were carried out in 2019 in the framework of two cooperation projects financed by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia (project “Transposition of the acquis communautaire in Macedonia”) and the National Technical University “Dnipro Polytechnic”, Dnipro, Ukraine (project “Challenges of Sustainability in the Industrial Sector in Countries with Economies in Transition”). BTU itself, situated in the city of Cottbus, closely to the German-Polish border, has a long history of cooperation with Eastern European universities. The overall terms of the projects were related to the transposition of the acquis communautaire in the European Union accession process of North Macedonia as well as under the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement. Thus, the compliance with EU regulations is an urgent and also partially challenging issue in the accession process and subject to discussion in policy, society and science. The accession process refers to all kinds of sectors, but the environmental sector is one of the sectors that require substantial efforts from the candidate countries. Another, politically important issue was in recent years – and it will regain high relevance in the future – the question of migration and the treatment of refugee issues. Here, North Macedonia is one of the countries on the “Balkan route”, stuck with the difficulties of organising, food, accommodation, transport and generally security for those refugees migrating from Greece via North Macedonia and Serbia to the EU mainland. It is worth mentioning that the cooperation with the Dnipro Polytechnic (former National Mining University) in Dnipro goes back to 1998. And also the cooperation with the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University Skopje – even though compared to the BTU-NMU-cooperation it seems to be rather young – has been developing for the last three years including various activities, such as joint publications, project applications as well as student and academic staff exchange. In the course of the joint project with North Macedonia, several activities of exchange were organised, including the involvement of neighbouring countries, e.g. Albania and Kosovo. Beside the aforementioned conferences, several joint study projects, summer schools and seminars have been carried out. These conference proceedings give an insight to the perspectives of various researchers from candidate countries in the EU accession as well as association process whose voices are sometimes overseen. But such perspectives are of undoubted importance for understanding objections, delays, shortcomings and points of discussion in the accession and association process which should, finally, create a win-win-situation for the candidate countries as well as for the EU.

Internationales Symposium "Informatik für den Umweltschutz" der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI), Magdeburg 1999 N2 - Geografische Informationssysteme (GIS) hatten innerhalb von Umweltinformationssystemen (UIS) bisher durch ihre proprietäre Systemarchitektur eine elitäre Rolle und waren nur für einen kleinen Kreis von Expertennutzern zugänglich. Während dokumentenund datenbankbasierte UIS-Komponenten ihren Nutzerkreis stetig bis hin zum öffentlichen Anwender erweitern konnten, galt dies für in GIS repräsentierte raumbezogene Umweltinformationen nicht. Die Integration von WWW-basierter Internettechnologie innerhalb von UIS-Konzepten erlaubt nunmehr auch die Integration von räumlichen Techniken und eine geographische Präsentation von Umweltinformationen. Wurde anfänglich ‘einfachere’ präsentationsorientierte MapServer-Technologie genutzt, so stellen aktuell den ‘Stand der Kunst’ im technologischen Sinne sogenannte WebGIS-Applikationen dar, welche die Funktionalität von anspruchsvollen Desktop-GIS-Programmen erreichen. Das präsentationsorientierte Zugriffsideal wurde als quasi evolutionäre technische Entwicklung von einem datenzentrierten Explorationsideal abgelöst.

Future Asian Megacities can play a key role in improving energy efficiency and addressing the effects of climate change through practical and pragmatic urban environmental planning measures. This contribution illuminates the way adaptation to climate change is tackled in spatial planning strategies. The possible impacts of climate change on mega-urban regions in South-East Asia are highlighting that spatial design and urban environmental planning are a promising tool in adapting to climate change, because its integral responses are capable in dealing with uncertainties. Dealing with adaptation to climate change in the context of emerging Asian megacities requires a shift in policy options towards more proactive response strategies. While urban development trends in HCMC are addressing both mitigation needs and the rationale of adaptation to the effects of climate change, the main focus of combating climate change impacts in the mega-urban region of HCMC has to be the practical implementation of adaptation measures. Planned adaptation implies spatial planning decisions and measures at the urban-scale that facilitates the reduction of the adverse impacts of climate change. Further however adaptation has the potential to realise new opportunities for defining livability and sustainability in an Asian context of urban development planning, scoping planning issues and opportunities at different spatial scales.

ED - Schrenk, Manfred ED - Popovich, Vasily V. ED - Zeile, Peter ED - Elisei, Pietro T1 - Risk Management and Spatial Planning – Understanding Rapid Urbanization in Climate Change T2 - Proceedings, REAL CORP 2013, Planning Times N2 - In the emerging mega-urban regions of Southeast Asia, both planned and unplanned urbanisation into flood prone areas appears to be an unavoidable consequence of socio-economic development. These risks occur, often not due to a lack of risk awareness or weak planning instruments, but seem to be an accepted consequence of maintaining current economic success and social progress. Flood risk protection and implementation of costly mitigation measures are often shifted to a future development cycle, where implementation is not seen to constrain the economic goals. Asian cities located in deltaic settings such as Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in Vietnam, exhibit higher exposure levels to flood risk primary as a result of their location, their low elevation and if located in tropical regions, the significant annual variations in climatic and weather extremes they incur, so that a compelling need for dedicated site specific risk assessment and urban planning arises. Disasters like the recent flood in Bangkok in 2011 have shown that this development strategy cannot be justified any longer, especially in the times of a changing climate. Associated economic losses and social implications are simply too high. Our results are an outcome of a 5 year research project in HCMC funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research, focused on developing adaptation options to climate risks that could then be subsequently implemented into the existing land-use planning framework. Based on the development of core indicators describing future urban structural changes in relation to the changing patterns of risk exposures, spatially explicit planning recommendations were compiled in close cooperation with the responsible city authorities. Our contribution focuses on how to overcome the current limitations in implementing scientifically-founded and evidence-based adaptation planning to flood risks by communicating the importance in realising the present and plausible opportunities to influence future urban land-use.

T2 - 2008 Berlin Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change - Long-Term Policies: Governing Social Ecological Change (Online-Proceedings) N2 - The paper deals with the methodological application of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) in German regional land use planning (SEA-REP) with emphasis on quantitative indicators and assessment thresholds for impact assessment and the comparison of alternatives. A future key role of regional planning in cooperation with sector planning such as agriculture and forestry under climate change is determined. It is investigated, how SEA-REP as decision-aiding instrument can contribute to an adaptation of the regions to climate change with the objective to mitigate negative impacts on the environment and societies by creating a framework for systematic implementation of quantitative indicators and assessment values. A core problem during the selection of indicators for land uses for the adaptation to climate change (here: called LUCCA) as part of SEA-REP and the derivation of assessment thresholds is a lack of region-wide objectives for the protection of land and resources. At the same time climate change is so far not sufficient considered in regional land use planning. It is investigated how regional planning could integrate site-specific designations and objectives for an adaptation to impacts caused by climate change. The proposed SEA-REP indicator system integrates mitigation and adaptation measures for environmental and social impacts of climate change, which are evaluated by indicators and assessment thresholds for LUCCA. These involve designations of specific land uses and priority areas for climate protection and human recreation, ecological wildlife networks, flooded sites, areas affected by sea level rise, areas for water storage and carbon storage as-well-as alternative land cultivation. The overall objective of the research focuses on a proposal of regional environmental and social orientation objectives, indicators and the derivation of assessment thresholds for an adaptation of German regional land uses to climate change.

Die Grenzen von WWW-Strategien für den öffentlichen Zugang zu raumbezogenen Umweltinformationen T2 - Angewandte geographische Informationsverarbeitung XI : Beiträge zum AGIT-Symposium Salzburg 1999 N2 - Die Bedeutung von WWW-basierter Internettechnologie für den verteilten Zugriff auf raumbezogene Umweltinformationen ist mittlerweile unbestritten. Den ‘Stand der Kunst’ im Technologischen Sinne stellen aktuell sogenannte WebGIS-Applikationen dar, welche auf der Basis von internetfähigen Programmiersprachen und OpenGIS-konformen Systemarchitekturen immer mehr die Funktionalität von anspruchsvollen Desktop-GIS-Programmen erreichen. Ein WebGIS scheint daher eine evolutionäre Erweiterung der für den WWW-basierten Zugriff auf Geodatenbestände anfänglich genutzten ‘einfachen’ Map- Server-Technologie zu sein. Tatsächlich drohen aber Umweltinformationssysteme (UIS), welche auf eine WebGIS-Technologie als intrapersonellem Analyse- und Datenexplorationstool für Geodaten aufbauen, ihre Publikationsoption und -kompetenz zu verspielen. Welche zentrale, unersetzbare Bedeutung eine kartografische, visuelle Präsentation von räumlichen Umweltdaten für eine den öffentlichen Zugriff nicht ausschliesende UIS-Konzeption hat, wird anhand aktueller Konzeptionen des OpenGIS-Konsortium zur WWWMapping und aktueller publizierter Realisierungserfahrungen von öffentlichen UIS-Konzepten dargestellt. Insbesondere wird das datenzentrierte Zugriffsparadigma aufgrund der neuen Anforderungen einer dienste-orientierten UIS-Architektur einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen.

T1 - The Challenge of Spatial Information Management for Adaptation to Climate Change in Ho Chi Minh City T2 - EnviroInfo 2010, Integration of Environmental Information in Europe, Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Informatics for Environmental Protection Cologne/Bonn, Germany N2 - The environmental dimension of spatial planning in emerging Asian megacities such as Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has become a strong rationale for coordinating spatially well defined adaptation actions and integrating mitigation policies. Climate change is changing the traditional context of urban development planning and is shaping the priorities of sustainability. While urban development trends in HCMC are addressing both mitigation needs and the rationale of adaptation to the effects of climate change, the main focus of combating climate change impacts in the megaurban region of HCMC has to be the practical implementation of adaptation measures. Planned adaptation implies policy decisions and measures at the urban-scale that facilitates the reduction of the adverse impacts of climate change. For HCMC it creates the necessity to take climate change responses into account in spatial planning practices. This will also lead to changes in the traditional administrative structures that spatial planning is accustomed to. Since many of the main impacts of climate change have a land-use or water-management dimension, a downscaled and spatially explicit urban environmental planning information system can function as a switchboard for mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development objectives. Currently there are large differences in the way knowledge is produced, the analytical approaches that are used and the designed urban and environmental planning strategies. The proposed sharing of a commonly accepted spatial information base can engage the dialogue between stakeholders and scientists in order to support the development of spatially explicit planning strategies that anticipate the climate change risks at the mega-urban scale and contribute to sustainable and resilient settlement structures for HCMC.

For highly dynamic regions, this has often led to an overestimation of climate extremes as a driver of risk. Our impact assessment study for Ho Chi Minh City highlights, that the influence of non-climatic stressors – like urbanisation as the spatial manifestation of socio-economic processes is still widely under acknowledged. We argue a scenario-based approach is needed to understand the interrelationship between urban growth, urban land use planning and hydrometeorological hazards and to provide local planning authorities with the muchneeded insights into the drivers of risk. The location of residential areas, industrial parks, critical infrastructure and facilities are in themselves important spatial indicators to assess the vulnerability of urban communities to climate-related hazards. Ho Chi Minh City presented as an archetypical mega-urban example, where spatial planning for adapted urban land uses will be instrumental in addressing climate challenges. Research findings for the city demonstrate that through adapted land use planning, climate-related vulnerability parameters can be modified to reduce current and future urban risks. Yet planning alone is simply not enough. Within its multi-stakeholder environment borne out of conflicting interests, land use planning requires more than ever science-based information to formulate spatially explicit adaptation measures to climate change.

Besonders im Bereich der Umweltplanung ist eine gemeinsame Sicht auf Problembereiche eine Grundvoraussetzung für eine rationale Entscheidungsvorbereitung und -begründung. Karten sind für Umweltdaten hierzu das ideale Kommunikationsmedium für die breite Öffentlichkeit. Internet-Mapping-Anwendungen nutzen diese Kommunikationsstärke in einem neuen Publikationsmedium. Eine Grundvoraussetzung für nachhaltig erfolgreiches WWW-Mapping ist die explizite Modellierung und Integration von administrationsspezifischem Umweltbewertungswissen in den Präsentationsprozeß. Der Internet-Map-Server erfüllt somit eine wichtige Mediationsfunktion zwischen organisationsinternen Umweltdaten und öffentlich präsentierten Umweltinformationen. Der Akt des Publizierens muß bewußt wahrgenommen und legitimiert werden. Es wird dargestellt wie offene Standards für Geodaten und Internet-Mapping-Architekturen eine effektive Integration von Umweltbewertungswissen in den Publikationsakt erlauben und damit eine fachlich orientierte Administration von WWW-Mapping-Anwendungen ermöglichen.

They encompass the three pillars of sustainability – social, environmental and economic aspects, and consequently they can be considered as a tool, which makes sustainable development visible. Currently, they are becoming a significant element in international trade and in the promotion of sustainable development strategies, especially in the context of globalised markets and supply chains. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the current VSS concepts: from their nature and functioning, to the future outlook for their development. It places VSS in the broader context of global development issues and challenges, including development policy and international sustainability commitments, progress towards achieving ‘green economy’, and meeting climate protection targets. The volume contains also a representative selection of case studies which demonstrate their wide range of application in different sectors of the economy.

The book offers an overview on land use planning regarding the aspects of urban flooding, urban climate, urban energy and urban mobility as well as spatial views from the angle of urban planning such as the metropolitan level, the city, the neighbourhood and building level. It shows that to a significant degree, measures dealing with climate change can be taken from the toolbox of sustainable urban development and reflects how institutional structures need to change to enhance chances for implementation given socio-cultural and economic constraints. This is merged and integrated into a holistic perspective of planning recommendations, supporting the municipal government to increase its adaptive capacity. The authors are members of a German government funded research project on how to support HCMC’s municipal government to adapt to risks related to climate change.

The water deficit has been aggravated by the rapidly increasing demands for both surface and groundwater resources that are being unsustainably exploited. To address the country’s severe water scarcity, the government has adopted long-term intervention policies as stated in ‘Yemen's Strategic Vision 2025’. These policies are aimed at restoring the balance between water demand and availability, and at reducing the existing water deficit. Although 11 years have passed since this vision was adopted, the water deficit is still on the rise. The present situation raises questions about the efficiency of the intervention policies adopted by ‘Yemen's Strategic Vision 2025’ and about the effectiveness of implementing these policies. Another fundamental question pertains to the availability of a strategic assessment tool in the water resources sector that can be used to assess strategically future and current policies, strategies and plans, in order to ensure their efficiency in supporting water resources and in producing the positive impacts for which these strategic initiatives were developed in the first place. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is an assessment tool designed to function at a strategic level and help to bring aspects of environmental sustainability into the decisionmaking process. This research aims to demonstrate the potential of SEA in enhancing environmental sustainability in water policies for achieving sustainability of water resources in Yemen. In order to show the potential of SEA in the Yemeni water resources sector, this research has applied SEA methodologies and adopted a scenario-building approach for assessing the intervention policies adopted by ‘Yemen's Strategic Vision 2025’ to support augmentation of water resources. Qualitative and quantitative approaches have been used in this research. Quantitative historical data on water availability, water demand and water savings by interventions have been collected from the databases of national institutions and international organizations concerned. Statistical analyses have been used to project future trends until 2025. Qualitative analyses of relevant studies and reports covering the environmental, administrative, sociocultural and political-economic aspects of water resources management in Yemen have been implemented as well. In addition, 13 semi-structured key informant interviews have been conducted with decision-makers, managers and leading experts in the water and irrigation sectors. The research produced three future scenarios for the total water balance that may play out until 2025 in Yemen. These scenarios provide impact assessment and alternatives’ comparison of the existing intervention policies. The resulting scenarios are as follows: the ‘Business as Usual’ scenario, which forms an assessment of currently applied interventions and provides an image for the future, if current interventions are maintained at the same pace; the ‘Do-nothing’ scenario representing the situation if no interventions are implemented; and the ‘Sustainability’ scenario, which represents the potential future of the total water balance if existing interventions are to be scaled up and out. The findings confirm the significant potential of currently adopted intervention policies to support water resources. They also reveal that the current level of implementing the intervention policies has hindered the potential of these intervention policies in achieving the expected positive impact on the water balance by 2025. In order to achieve a significant decrease in the water deficit, the strategic quantitative targets that need to be implemented were identified. The methodology followed in implementing the research and achieving the findings demonstrates the potential of SEA in enhancing environmental sustainability in water policies for achieving integrated and sustainable water resources management in Yemen. The recommendations of the research covered improving the existing water balance as well as improving the assessment and planning context in the water resources sector. In order to improve the water balance situation, the research recommends implementing quantitative targets for water savings and augmentations, such as those developed by this research. These targets have been identified based on the capacities of sectors implementing these interventions. The research also recommends further decentralization of planning and management of water resources and the establishment of Water User Associations (WUAs) as the main vehicles for ensuring sustainable planning and management of water resources, including the scale out of interventions, subject to assessment in this research. In order to improve assessment and planning of water resources, the research recommends the adoption of SEA, the updating of water resources data and conducting regular assessments of policies, plans and programmes as part of monitoring their impact and providing a chance for amending these policies and strategies, if required, to achieve sustainability of water resources.

In urban planning, it helps to identify the emerging prob-lems and solve the disorder of urban functions. The megacity Ho Chi Minh City has faced many problems with uncontrollable urbanization, urban management and plan-ning. It has received increasing tropical storms and cyclones which caused more heavy rains in recent decades. Rapid urbanization has caused the increase of built-up coverage with disordered typologies, incomplete infrastructure and urban-peripheral instability. In the flooding context, these problems have increased more seriously with flooding impacts and caused uncontrollable planning and management in the city. This study applies the urban morphology method to measure flood impacts on urban functions and develop the adaptive solutions for flooding adaptation for Ho Chi Minh City. The methods in this study are based on applying fractal geometry, GIS and Remote Sensing on large-scale maps for measuring the urban morphology. The land-use map and the building footprints map of 2010 were founded to analyze the distribution of urban areas by high resolution of satellite images and large scale GIS data. The fractal geometry was a setting based on Avenue program of Arcview GIS to measure the urban morphology. This formed a key input for the multi-criteria analysis (MCA) method that investigated the cause of flood impacts and suggested the solution for flooding adapta-tion. In addition, alterations of lakes, ponds and watercourse from 1995 to 2009 were explored. The study showed HCMC had problems on irrational development in residential densi-ties areas and urban functions, and the uneven development of population and residen-tial density between the urban areas: too much in the urban districts (about 300 to 500 persons per hectare per block and coverage ratio 0.7 - 0.9). This pushed the increasing demand on built-up area and filled-up rivers and canals (About 80 percent of original ponds and lakes in inner-center were filled-up in the past; and 63 percent of ponds and lakes have been filled-up in Sub-Districts and new-urban-development areas). It made the imbalance between the permeability of land surface and the run-off water flows; then leads the inundation to increase. This is the main reason for reducing the water-storage capacity in rainy season. Flooding in urban residential area was more im-pacted than in rural residential area, higher level and longer flood time; while flooding in the rainy season due to high tides, heavy rains or both was the emerging and uncon-trollable problems. For flooding adaptation, urban morphology analysis helped to figure out the potential areas in the city could be used for reducing flooding impacts in urban areas. There are many low-density residential areas in above 1.5 meter AMSL areas in the North, Northwest and Northeast areas of the city which could be developed with complete infrastructure and urban services to attract people from high-density residential areas impacted deeply by floods in the center. These potential areas could be the long-term strategic solution to flooding adaptation for HCMC. The results also suggested that some current flooded areas would be re-planned or returned to be the water-storage and permeable areas (such as green parks, ponds and lakes). This re-planning would improve the city landscape and increase the permeable surface, green spaces and open spaces to HCMC. More green spaces, lakes and ponds will also help to reduce the temperature of urban center in the dry season. This adaptation solution would reduce at least 25 percent of current flooded areas in urban center. The protection and constructed restriction of current agricultural areas in peri-urban Districts would maintain the infil-tration and green-tree areas. Furthermore, the complete drainage system would help to reduce better flood for these areas. Finally, fully dredging river and canal system of the city would reduce about 25 to 30 percent of current flooded areas.

This is in part due to the fact that the majority of the population depends on rain-fed agriculture for their livelihood. Adapting to climate change in the subsistence agricultural sector is therefore very imperative in providing food security and concomitantly protecting the livelihood of rural communities. This study examined the patterns of current climatic variables on some selected subsistence staple crops namely; millet and sorghum in the Cameroon´s Sudano-Sahel. It also valorized and documented the community based adaptation strategies used by local farmers to cope with current climate change, explored the constraints and opportunities in adaptation and mitigation that could facilely be integrated and incorporated into policies and programs. The guiding premises were that climatic change impacts subsistence crop yields as the lower the rainfall, the higher the vulnerability of the yields of staple crops. It also hypothesized that the present community-based strategies used by the local farmers are relevant and crucial to the present day quest for climate change adaptation strategies. Analyses of agricultural droughts using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), spatio-temporal land use and land cover dynamics via remote sensing were utilized as well as the application of statistical tools for the investigation of pressure and state indicators. A participatory research approach was used in exploring adaptation patterns perceived by the ruralites in the face of variable climatic condition via administered questionnaires. The results suggested critical impact asymmetries due to climatic and socio-economic factors affected subsistence crops in the Sudano-Sahel of Cameroon. Furthermore, SPI results indicated incidences of droughts; with the Multilinear Regression (MLR) models showing temperature and rainfall to an extent determined agricultural crop productivity in the Sudano-Sahel. However, other factors such as population growth have undoubtedly caused enormous impacts on the agricultural system as seen in remote sensing analyses. Questionnaire survey findings also connoted that subsistence farming communities have a rich repertoire of strategies ranging from changing of planting dates, changing of crop varieties, switching from crops to livestock, use of local indicators, movement from rural to urban areas, increment in cultivated lands, irrigation soil conservation practices among many others as they perceive varying climatic conditions. Additionally, some of these indigenous strategies are inherent in ecological agricultural practices that offer a win-win scenario for the simultaneously tackling of climate change adaptation and mitigation and hence meeting the development goals. The results further highlighted the lack of money, poor access to climate information, the encroachment of desert and shortage of man power as some of the factors hindering subsistence farmers’ ability to adapt. The study concluded that adaptation measures in subsistence agriculture were highly significant for poverty reduction, thus improving on the well-being of the ruralites. The key to the ability of farmers to adapt would be access to relevant knowledge and information. Following the rich repertoire of strategies by local farmers, adaptation needed to be mainstreamed and institutional networks strengthened in order for effective community based adaptation.

Ho Chi Minh City is a megacity with uncontrollable urbanization and dynam-ic economies. In recent years, flood has become a serious problem with a multitude of follow-on impacts. It received more heavy rains affected by tropical storms and cy-clones. Further urbanization and future changes in climate are likely to increase flood risks. People have faced the flood impacts on the socioeconomic aspects in recent dec-ades. This study researched on 450 households in different spaces of the inner center (old districts), developed center (urban districts) and new-developing areas (peri-districts) and in different geographical elevations to identify the impacts of flooding in various space and time; and various problems on households’ socioeconomic aspects in flood residential areas. The multi-criteria analyses in GIS and with of the combination SPSS analysis, the sur-veyed households were identified by their location on the topographic map to clarify the flooding reasons and the types of flood in the areas. The 450 households were chosen in flood residential areas and selected in three categories of characteristics: (1) 150 poor households in flood housing areas; (2) 150 poor households in non-flood housing areas; and (3) 150 higher-income households in non-flood housing areas. This disparity was to analyze the different flood impacts on socioeconomic aspects and on household capitals amongst them. The linear regression in SPSS analysis was used to clarify the relation-ships between flood types with space factor (geographical elevation) and time factors (flood months in year, and flood years in residential areas). This test gave the supports to the reliability of the study results. By geographical elevation analysis, flood impacted on the areas in three main types: (1) flood by rain; (2) flood by tide; and (3) flood by both rain and tide. The tidal flood oc-cupied the low-elevation areas; flood by rain invaded the widespread higher-elevation areas; and the mix type of flood occupied the transition areas between flood areas by rain and by tide. Lower land had the deeper flood level, however; many of high-land areas were flooded in this city. Flood in residential areas had caused flood problems on streets, sidewalks (housing pavements), residential drainage system, water supply and electric power. In the poor households of Group One, flood in residential areas impacted their housing areas. To protect housing from flooding, many households had to invest their income for house rising or rebuilding or pavement rising, etc. They also privately invested for repairing or new buying their housing facilities, furniture and other appli-ances. Their income was lost and deficit. To the household capitals analysis, households were impacted more on physical, financial, natural and human capitals. The poor households in Group One had the most vulnerabilities amongst three groups, whilst there was no support from social organizations and government at levels. The household strategies developed in this study are to support people in flood and flood-prone areas conserving their capabilities to achieve the strategic outcome for sustainable development.

The city is the most important center of economy, society and culture in the southern region of Vietnam. However, due to characteristics of natural conditions with low topography and borders touch the sea so that since the late 20th century with the rapid economic and urban development there are environmental problems have arisen. One of the problems is flooding issue caused by high tide. With these natural conditions and sea level rise of climate change in the future, Ho Chi Minh City is considered as one of the most affected and damaged cities in the world. Therefore, many policies have been set out from the national to local levels in Vietnam to prepare for adaptability of impacts and risks of the sea level rise and the climate change. And this has also been considered in Ho Chi Minh City as the development policies of the city authorities have to consider in the context of the sea level rise and the climate change. A number of researches have been conducted to assess the impact of climate change to Ho Chi Minh City in the future. However, these researches are still need to be enhanced further. The flooding problem is a major issue of the sea level rise in Ho Chi Minh City. And to make a good result, the flood model needs a lot of requirements that ensure fine quality of input data, suitable model and a relied procedure. In the available research, the input data is not really the highest quality in the available context in Ho Chi Minh City. As the flood model is implemented, one of the input data requirements of the model is information detail of elevation in the flooded area. And this is more necessary than in geophysical urban areas such as Ho Chi Minh City. And to assess fully flood risk issues for flooding caused by tidal phenomenon in Ho Chi Minh City, the determination of many characteristics of flood model is very useful for users who need to apply the results of the model for the planning development in Ho Chi Minh City in the future. Besides adopting a uniform environment as GIS for managing all the data of flooding problem and making conditions for the development of decision support systems is very necessary for flood management in the future. The research has been carried out and its results have been generated on the flood risk assessment associated context of the sea level rise due to climate change with high emissions scenario A1FI in 2030 for the current houses, the population and the land use types. The results have shown a lot of the areas where are inundated in the future with the increasing flooding duration, depth and frequency even though they are not flooded at the current because there are some protective structures. This will be helpful for suggesting a forecast of the development direction to decision makers in Ho Chi Minh City for next time period. And the last part is the proposal for decision and policy makers, authorities and planners as well. Moreover, the results of this research can be used as the references and the foundations for further researches and so that the problems that Ho Chi Minh City may be encountered due to flood risk caused by climate change to the economic and social aspects of the development in Ho Chi Minh City will encounter. And the problem of adaptation to climate change will be more completed and more thoroughly so that it is to minimize the damage of climate change for the city.

T1 - Land-use Planning Recommendations - Adaptation Strategies for a Changing Climate in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: Summary for Decision-Makers N2 - Urbanisation is an extreme case of land-use change. The geographical patterns of urban expansion of a city have a direct relationship with its environmental quality, particularly water flows, flooding and urban thermal stress. A key question for urban policy and planning is how to direct these changes in ways that minimise environmental impacts and risks. Since many of the main impacts of climate change in Ho Chi Minh City additionally exhibit a land use dimension, such as the increased frequency of urban flooding events or the intensification of the already existing urban heat island effect, land-use planning and land-use controls can be seen as the most appropriate adaptation management strategy. These recommendations have been developed under the German Ministry for Education and Research Funded research project ‘‘Integrative Urban and Environmental Planning for Adaptation of Ho Chi Minh City to Climate Change” which is funded as part of the research programme ‘‘Sustainable Development of the Megacities of Tomorrow’’ by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in close cooperation with the Department of Nature Resources and Environment, Ho Chi Minh City. The main objective was to respond to the needs of the Department of Nature Resource and Environment, Ho Chi Minh City by providing guidance and recommendations that can be used by land-use planners and policy makers to reduce the potential adverse effects of both urbanisation and the current and future effects of climate change. The recommendations have been compiled as a stand-alone document that can be read and understood on their own, however they also contain references to the additional document entitled “Land-use Planning Recommendations - Adaptation Strategies to a Changing Climate in Ho Chi Minh City” referenced within this document as LUPR.Eleven specific focus areas were selected (labelledfrom A to K) in combination with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment. For each area the current situation is described and detailed planning recommendations are provided.

Based on its definitions, it is claimed that SEA can 1) contribute to the integration of environmental concerns into strategic decisions: policies, plans and programmes (PPPs); and that SEA 2) is a systematic process. Although these claims are widely acknowledged in SEA research and practice, they remain largely unsubstantiated empirically. To date, SEA research is dominated by qualitative-type approaches, investigating aspects of effectiveness, of context and of elements of good practice. Quantitative-type research has been rare, and often criticised on the basis that it is unable to capture and address the dynamic nature of PPP-making processes, i.e. the involvement of a wide range of actors, the input of new information and the existence of different views and interests, which give rise to uncertainty and unpredictability. Nevertheless, the potential of quantitative research in SEA has yet to be fully explored, and the extent to which SEA is meeting the two definitional claims mentioned above remains untested and undetermined. Within this context, this study aims to apply a quantitative research approach to SEA and verify the extent to which SEA contributes to environmental integration (EI) and the extent to which SEA behaves systematically. It achieves this by looking at UK practice as a case study. It applies questionnaire survey, correlation analysis and sensitivity analysis as methods of quantitative research approach. The findings of this research confirmed that quantitative methodologies can be successfully applied to evaluate the presence and quality of SEA procedures and their outputs. Furthermore, the degree of EI reflected in plans and programmes (PPs) because of the SEA, as reflected in the PP’s environmental objectives and indicators, can be quantitatively evaluated. However, to enhance this quantitative evaluation process, clearer and more precise environmental objectives are needed. Of the two definitional SEA claims evaluated, that (1) SEA contributes to EI in PPPs and that (2) SEA is a systematic process), there was weak evidence to support the claim that SEA significantly achieved EI within UK SEA practice. Of the second claim, it was concluded that the UK SEA process behaves as a systematic process composed of negative and positive feedbacks. Moreover, the UK SEA process is a stable system prone to over-development and with inadequate negative feedbacks to facilitate self-regulation of the SEA process towards a certain range of EI. Based on the findings, it is recommended that if SEA effectiveness and theory-building are to be enhanced, application of more quantitative methods and hypothetico-deductive paradigms of scientific enquiry should be applied in order to test and verify stated hypotheses. Application of other quantitative methods such as Factor Analysis and/or Principal Component Analysis should be considered in order to further establish the explanatory elements for EI achievement, and contributory roles of various SEA elements in achieving EI. Furthermore, quantitative approaches can facilitate calibrating of SEA reports and EI achieved, and enhance standardisation and quality control. It is further recommended that if SEA is to be understood as a systematic process with dynamic interactions amongst its elements, then further research needs to be conducted to improve follow-up mechanisms and establish quality hold points in order to enhance quality assurance. Specifically, more negative feedback loops or best practice standards and quality control hold points should be integrated into the SEA system in order for it to better self-regulate towards achieving a defined range of EI.

While the state is searching for the ways of strengthening its positions at the global market, its agricultural potential to a considerable extent remains both under- and misused. Based on comprehensive historic analysis, this research establishes the origins of the current situation and assesses the possibilities of positive change. Utilizing the experience of other European countries’ with regards to making agriculture more sustainable and competitive in the modern world, the author describes the ways of applying these practices against the background of Ukrainian socio-political system. Drawing knowledge from the experience of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) worldwide, this research aims at harmonizing their methods with evaluation demands in Ukrainian agriculture. It discusses and criticizes the existing assessment approach and suggests measures necessary for making it more comprehensive. The author offers profound analysis of Ukrainian agricultural policies to date, reviews national regulating directives and outlines country-specific challenges as to improving agricultural sustainability. In order to provide Ukrainian decision-makers with a clear and all-round tool for assessing the advances and failures of the acting state policies in the AIS, a set of reliable indices for evaluating agricultural performance has been developed by the author, which is largely based on the widely-acknowledged Driving Force – State – Response framework offered by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Human Development Index (HDI) from United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) methodology. At the same time, the newly developed set takes into consideration the peculiarities of Ukrainian socio-political setting. Three major categories of indicators were chosen as a backbone for further elaboration, namely economic, social and political. Therefrom results a list of twelve relevant indices. At the concluding stage of the research, they were processed and transformed to three top-level indices: Economic Development Index, Environmental Situation Index and Social Development Index. These three indices are intended for clear and illustrative presentation of the current situation for high level decision-makers and governmental bodies. Methodology utilized for the purposes of this research with necessary adaptation and fine tuning can also be used with other set of initial data, indicators and indices. Application field can also be downscaled from the highest (national) to the lowest (regional) level by adapting the indicator-indices system to the initial input data. This will considerably simplify the compilation and presentation of regional reports and will provide transparency for interregional comparison within the country.

The author’s extensive literature review established this as the premise on which Ghana‘s quest for sustainable economic growth and development strategies is being implemented. Since embarking on this endeavour, conscious efforts have been made to define essential components of forest resources against which sustainability assessments could be performed in Ghana. The conceptual framework of the present research rests on FAO’s concept on criteria and indicators as useful tools in monitoring progress towards sustainable forest management and resource-use. In addition, an empirical approach seeks to elicit answers from staffs involved in the management of natural resources as well as from other stakeholder groups in order to address four pertinent questions as; i. the specifics of forest management practices and policies that exist in Ghana‘s high forest zone, ii. interactive forces that come into play with the identification and development of national level criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, iii. who constitute the stakeholders and lastly, iv. the extent to which progress towards sustainable forest management has been achieved and in which direction it is moving. First a quantum of forest management policy documents were reviewed out of which applicable criteria and measurable indicators, specific to the high forest zone of Ghana, were identified. Together with stakeholder's involvement, performance scores were established for indicators identified within the trio-sectors (forest ecosystem, forest communities and the economy) for sustainability assessments. Based on actual performance scores, measures of successes towards sustainable forest management operations were quantitatively performed with estimated maximum and minimum thresholds levels at which resource-use would be sustainable using the measure of forest resource-use sustainable scale-MoFRUSS. Outcomes of these measurement operations, as depicted on the scale, revealed the actual extent to which stakeholder’s initiatives, towards sustainable forest management have progressed and in which direction they are moving. The study also offers optional policy baskets for resource management interventions from which the Socio-eco-Economy bundle is the most recommendable if the environmental aspect of Ghana‘s Vision 2015 (sustainable development) is to be achieved; with improved societal well-being, improved environmental health and vitality and improved economic growth and development. The study concludes with recommendations to both policy makers and the other vested stakeholders a viable opportunity which could be harnessed to improve on management‘s performance through avoided deforestation.

Both land use and climate variations may lead to an advance of the desert, and human and natural factors can be connected in feedback relationships. This makes it difficult to describe cause-and-effect relationships, and to predict the impact of global warming. A key is understanding historic desertification, since the investigation of the past allows to better separate the roles of man and weather. These questions were investigated in the Decapolis region in northern Jordan, an area in the transition zone between the Arabian desert and the Mediterranean climate belt. It had been assumed that historic desertification in the Decapolis was connected with severe degradation of soils, and caused by agricultural mismanagement and deforestation. This idea served as explanation for economic decay and abandonment of cities, too. However, the greatest part of the erosion took place during the last Ice Age and the Younger Dryas. There is no indication that the inanimate landscape changed significantly since the Bronze Age. Historic field systems were partially preserved and seem reflected by distinct soil development, indicating that the impact of land use was more complex and less devastating than previously assumed. Historic human impacts on the natural environment seem limited, and certainly not connected with desertification. Romantic northern European misconceptions of how a "natural" landscape should look like may in this context have contributed to a negative assessment of traditional agriculture in the Mediterranean. Comparative analyses of soils and colluvia, air photos, historic travel reports, tree rings and climate reconstructions indicate that population growth was behind the flourishing of the Decapolis, which took place mostly under favourably stable climatic conditions. Periods of decline seem triggered by climatic anomalies. As it seems, climate change was previously understood too linearly: extreme rainfall events can be more devastating than drought, and temperature, wind and rainfall distribution over the year are important as well. Cool and dry periods at the end of the last Ice Age were connected with incision and sometimes dramatic erosion. Climatic fluctuations during history may have been connected with pests, famines, plagues, and wars which caused dramatic drops of population levels. The ecological sensitivity of the desert belt may have aggravated the impact of climate variations. Economic recovery took place only when population levels rose again. It is so far unknown how climate will develop under global warming, but an increasing number of anomalous events could have dramatic impacts. The key for dealing with global warming seems therefore adaptation to climatic irregularities.

This book provides a comprehensive collection of standards and thresholds, with their derivation and application in case studies of EIA projects. The first part introduces the nature of standards and thresholds and key drivers for their determination. The book then describes, in Part II, technical standards from the perspective of EIA projects. Part III addresses the issue from the other side, environment and human health, and discusses the assessment of impacts on the sensitivity or value of environmental and health components. Part IV sets out some emerging issues for standard and threshold with reference to new sectors and with recent instruments. The book concludes in Part V with the role of monitoring, and final implementation.
