Sustainable development Johann Hattingh, Univ. of Stellenbosch
Specific verifiable aims… • To develop a new tool for training on sustainable impact assessment (SIA), applicable in a broad Eurasian context. The tool will be easy to use and easy to disseminate: a freeware electronic textbook and simulation tool based on complex, proven dynamic models. • To train in particular the use of dynamic models in policy assessment. To train modern landscape analysis and sustainability assessment tools in a unified exercise primarily for training in strategic policy analysis, but secondarily for other end-users also (e.g. local and regional administrations, research, education). • To embed the project and it’s main deliverable at the science/society interface, mainly by involving administrations, company personnel, researchers and students from the start, in producing the materialfor the e-textbook and in the last year of the project testing it.
We approach Sustainability Impact Assessment(SIA) largely through different land usecategories...
