Evaluating sustainable development is becoming increasingly
important in policy making, evaluation practice and the scientific
world in general. However, at present, there is neither a generally
accepted set of measures and evaluation methods, nor specific
standards to be met. Sustainable Development in Europe addresses
these issues and presents an important and concise analysis of
state-of-the-art sustainable development evaluation policies,
programmes and projects currently at work in Europe. The aim of
this book is not to offer an all-encompassing overview of these
efforts, but to raise the most significant issues involved in the
planning and implementation of an evaluation project at
international, national, regional and local levels. These include
understanding sustainable development, the aims of the evaluation,
the appropriate spatial or administrative level, and the limits of
the particular system analysed. The principal topic areas for
evaluators focused upon in this volume are concepts, evaluation
methods and their applications. Each topic is accompanied by an
illustrative example of a cutting-edge evaluation study indicating
how best to apply the theoretically derived approaches in a
practical way. In offering a common basis for the further
development of research and applications regarding sustainability
evaluations, this study will be of great interest to researchers
and scholars at many levels of environmental, European, public
sector and public policy studies. Evaluators will find
methodological approaches and applied tools for their work. Policy
makers will find the analysis of the most effective evaluation
methodologies vitally useful, and NGOs and NPOs will also find that
this book assists them in establishing evaluation as a learning
tool.
