Socio-Economic and Environmental Assessment (SEEA) Reports

Socio-Economic and Environmental Assessments (SEEA) provide an evaluation of the social, economic and environmental implications of an alternative land use scenario(s), compared with the base case scenario. SEEAs have mainly been conducted to support decisions regarding Strategic Land and Resource Plans (SLRPs), but they may also be conducted for other processes involving land and resource use and allocation.

For more information on the structure and methods used for SEEA, see the SEEA guidelines. (589kb)
