Confronting reality in strategic environmental assessment in Slovenia ¬タヤ Costs and benefits

چکیده
a r t i c l e i n f o We enlarge on the viewpoint published in the Environmental Impact Assessment Review in 2012 — A viewpoint on the approval context of strategic environmental assessments. Additional alerts concerning the procedural ineffec-tiveness of the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) process from the cost–benefit point of view are advanced. The major contribution to the long lasting, costly SEA processes, comes from ultraistic treatment of Natura 2000. The case study deals with a plan for constructing a traffic bypass around Škofljica, a town near Ljubljana. Based on their conclusions the authors propose that the following elements of the SEA procedure should be improved and optimised: – CBA for SEA should become a regular component when measuring its effectiveness. – Concretisation of expected SEA inputs to the plan should clarify its role at the earliest stage of the process. – SEA should contribute interactively to the optimisation of alternatives; cost–benefit analysis of the SEA process could support this process. – Nature protection interest should be confronted and balanced with wider development interests as formulated in the plan and should not be applied in absolute terms (e.g. Natura 2000).
