Abstract: |
Chapter 5 presents some planning aids used in the preparation of the Environmental Impact Study, such as Aerial Photographs, Geographic Databases, Information Layers, Cartographic Analysis Techniques, Data Banks and Computer Aided Exhibits. Then methods of forecasting and impact assessment are presented such as Empirical methods based on expert opinions, Overlay Map Technique, Information Scaling Lists, Matrices, and Networks. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of Geographic Information Systems in EIA and the theoretical background of GIS and Google Earth software are discussed extensively. Two analytical applications are also presented, one for the use of GIS in a Water Resources Management study and one for the presentation of alternative solutions using Google Earth. Finally, two examples of multi-criteria methods for evaluating alternative plans are presented as well as a general approach of multi-criteria evaluation with registries.
