ABSTRACT

Building on the discussion of systemic approaches to problem-solving and project development set out in Chapter 4, this chapter will develop our thinking concerning the specific use of sustainability indicators (SIs) in development projects. We will focus on four major aspects:

the project scenario: applying systemic methodologies in project contexts to build SIs;

the stakeholder scenario: how to develop participation and coalition in the use of SIs;

accommodating multiple views of sustainability within projects;

introducing the systemic sustainability analysis idea.
