By their adoption of Agenda 21, most of the world's governments
have acknowledged the need for sustainable development. This
implies that new policies are needed, focusing on economic, social,
cultural and ecological goals. At the same time, we also need to
solve existing environmental and social problems, and prevent the
occurrence of new ones. This volume presents, tests and illustrates
a theoretically well-founded procedure for discovering regional
opportunities for sustainable development, based on a systems
approach to decision making. The procedure takes as its starting
point the needs of the people involved, relating these to the
measurement of available resources in order to find opportunities
for multiple resource use and sustainable development. The needs of
future generations and broader communities are taken into account
throughout. The book studies regional planning and the
implementation of plans, offering guidance and support to parties
involved in debates on sustainable development, and improving the
quality of their decision making.
