Sector Headline

[How does the SECTOR influence City environment ?]

This part summarizes information about interactions of the SECTOR with the City environment. This includes both Pressures from the sector (e.g. Industry) on various environmental components (e.g. air, water, land) through e.g. emmission of pollutants, the changes in the State of the invironment caused by this sector (e.g. decreased air and water quality as a result of industrial pollution), amd secondary impacts (e.g. health implications or economic damages). (This part corresponds to the "P-S-I" part of the DPSIR framework.)

Most consequences of sectoral influence on the environment will likely be described in separate chapters of the report. Therefore presentation here should rather concentrate on a summary of sectoral interactions with different environmental components, after which a user may be referred to e.g. the Waste, Air Quality and other chapters for a more comprehensive description and discussion of resulting environmental situation in the City.


Presentation on this page will normally consist of text explaining the situation, and (preview) graphics such as trends, maps, diagrams etc. displaying specific indicators. For each indicator, a preview can be linked to a separate page where a full-screen graphic and information about this indicator are, ideally with links to related data tables and sources of information.

It is a challenge to reach here a balance between the amount of text and graphics (not too much or too little of either), as well as to make sure that text and graphics are not separate from each other but are used in a complementary way to explain each other.

At a later stage, a list of possible indicators for each SECTOR will be included into this tool to help CEROI cities to select or develop their own indicators for their reports.


You can link to additional information about this SECTOR from here, such as:
  • Trends
  • Maps
  • Databases
  • Statistics
  • Monitoring networks
  • Background information
  •   this area contains a link to information about what each citizen can do to affect this SECTOR
