Decision Consequence Analysis (DCA) is a framework for improving
the quality of decision results. The framework is a systematic,
multi-criteria quantification of uncertainties and the
opportunities for managing and reducing the potential negative
consequences of such uncertainties. DCA is demonstrated throughout
Sustainable Land Development and Restoration for each stage of
system based management of environmental issues. DCA links
disciplines and incorporates components of risk modelling,
probability modelling and the psychology of decision making. Its
goal is to provide a comprehensive unbiased decision making
framework. Its foundation is accurately defining your problem
statement and clearly vetting your objectives to build a structure
for meaningful analysis of data. Employment of DCA consistently
throughout the environmental industry can reduce decibel-driven,
agenda-laden decision making, streamline expenditure of resources
(financial, human, natural), and provide a clear path to the
sustainable maintenance of balanced environmental systems as the
penultimate objective. Sustainable Land Development and Restoration
provides a toolbox to both the novice and experienced environmental
practitioner of valuable techniques for addressing site specific
environmental issues, as well as managing a portfolio of
liabilities on an international scale. Ultimately, the authors are
addressing the critical issue of balancing environmental asset
balance sheets, whether on the scale of an individual project,
across a company's portfolio, or for a community. The environmental
manager who adopts the principles in this book will have greater
confidence that environmental protection or restoration activities
are providing measurable utility. The goal is that, through
multidimensional resource management analysis and practices
companies and societies can achieve sustainable maintenance of a
balanced environmental system. Descriptions of technical,
contracting and implementation processes are supported by detailed
case studies to provide real world context rather than an academic
exchange of theories.
