[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.
