• provisions and legal framework
• EIA process - screening, scoping, identification of significant environmental impacts, consultation and public participation
• methods of EIA (checklists, matrices, networks, modelling and techniques) to identify environmental impacts
• methods of EIA (checklists, matrices, networks, modelling and techniques) to identify environmental impacts techniques and tools for monitoring and prediction (water balance, water quality, air quality, noise, traffic emissions)
• evaluation of environmental impacts with respect to special planning targets and ecosyste
• methods for the capturing and assessment of characteristic landscapes and its scenery
• conflicts between environmental assessments and potential solutions
• EIA in practice, relationships between stakeholders in the planning process (relationships to planners, planning authorities and public agencies)

Strategic Environmental Assessment:

• fundamental knowledge to understand SEA and  its necessity for a sustainable development
• regulation and legal framework
• objectives and implementation of European SEA Directive 2001/42/EU
• differences and links between EIA and SEA
• SEA procedure and its integration into the planning process
• Process steps of SEA (screening, scoping, identification of significant environmental impacts, consultation and public participation)
• Suitable methods of SEA (potentials analysis, scenarios, etc.)
• Techniques and tools for prediction and identification of environmental impacts
• Selection of appropriate set of indicators in consideration of planning levels and sectors

Literature

Participants will receive within the lecture fundamental knowledge regarding methods, techniques and tools in environmental impact assessment and strategic environmental assessment. For a successful  graduation of the module and an integral appreciation of the topic a continual self-study of the stated literature is recommended.
