an overview; Impact Assessment in the European Commission in relation to Multifunctional Land Use; An institutional analysis of land use modelling in the European Commission; Ex ante impact assessment of land use changes in European regions.
the SENSOR approach; Transfer into decision support: The Sustainability Impact Assessment Tool (SIAT); Scenarios: Driving forces and policies; Cross sector land use modelling framework; Tourism geography in Europe; Landscape level simulation of land use change.
The principle of multi-functionality simultaneously considers a variety of social, economic and environmental goods and services related to land use. It is thus a key to sustainable development of land and rural areas. Land use policies seek to support the economic competitiveness and sustainable development of rural areas. For efficient impact assessment, policy makers require tools for assessment of anticipated policy impacts on a wide range of sustainability issues across European regions. The European Union funded Integrated Project SENSOR develops ex-ante Sustainability Impact Assessment.
