This paper presents an original approach to Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for supporting decision-making processes in Local Land-Use Planning (LLUP) which integrates a set of frameworks and methodologies into technologies based on the use of Geographic Information. The technologies embrace the domain of Planning Support Systems (PSS), whose architecture is based on the Geodesign fram...

Given the important role of lake ecosystems in social and economic development, and the current severe environmental degradation in China, a systematic diagnosis of the ecological security of lakes is essential for sustainable development. A Driving-force, Pressure, Status, Impact, and Risk (DPSIR) model, combined with data screening for lake ecological security assessment was developed to over...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have postulated an association between dentate nucleus T1 hyperintensity and multiple sclerosis (MS)-related progressive neurodegeneration. Therefore, MS patients have been excluded from most studies investigating brain deposition of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). OBJECTIVE To study the hypothesis that dentate nucleus T1 hyperintensity in MS patients is ...

the “driving force - pressure - state - impact – response” modeling framework isadopted to consider the formation mechanisms of environmental risks and the requirements ofecological environment protection. moreover, a systematical index system and evaluation model forthe measurement of the coastal ecological security level is put forward in this paper to assess thestate of coastal ecological en...

In the framework of periodic update Sardinian River Basin Management and Water Protection Plans (Italian Law 152/2006, transposition 2000/60/EC Directive), we investigated AQUATOX model feasibility as a tool for assessing relationships between Driving forces, Pressures, States, Impacts Responses (DPSIR scheme). To do this, applied to forecast response (Italy) river quality status set different ...

Determining and assessing the links between human pressures and state-changes in marine and coastal ecosystems remains a challenge. Although there are several conceptual frameworks for describing these links, the Drivers-Pressures-State change-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework has been widely adopted. Two possible reasons for this are: either the framework fulfills a major role, resulting from ...

Abstract The small-scale tuna fisheries in Yaholu Village operated on a Fair Trade USA basis and non-Fair basis. study of sustainable management was conducted from May to July 2021. This aimed assess the sustainability status based fair trade non-fair recommend strategy for strategy. Rapid appraisal Drives, Pressure, State, Impact, Response (DPSIR) method used fishery’s Overall, 73.51%, while 5...

A decision support framework for the management of lagoon ecosystems was tested using four European Lagoons: Ria de Aveiro (Portugal), Mar Menor (Spain), Tyligulskyi Liman (Ukraine) and Vistula Lagoon (Poland/Russia). Our aim was to formulate integrated management recommendations for European lagoons. To achieve this we followed a DPSIR (Drivers-Pressures-State Change-Impacts-Responses) approac...

Mangroves provide multiple benefits, from carbon storage and shoreline protection to food and energy for natural resource-dependent coastal communities. However, they are coming under increasing pressure from climate change, coastal development, and aquaculture. There is increasing need to better understand the changes mangroves face and whether these changes differ or are similar in different ...

Different segments of society have shown interest in understanding the effects human activities on ecosystems. To this end, aim article is to analyze scientific literature application Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) conceptual model identify parameters used describe causal interactions that occur between agriculture and aquatic ecosystems at watershed scale. In way, descriptive ...
