ABSTRACT

This chapter draws on a 2005 workshop session at the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) Conference in Prague on strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and environmental planning and management tools, but also reflects a wider developing trend in understanding the linkages and overlaps between such tools. The workshop papers and discussions provide a stepping stone for a wider analysis, drawing on a developing, though limited, literature on linking SEA (and its variations) and strategic environmental planning and management tools.
