Leefomgevingsbalans, voorzet voor vorm eninhoud
1998
A future policy instrument for assessing the consequences of changes
(already made) to the physical environment can be found in the instrument
known as the human environmental balance. By taking all relevant aspects
into account when using this instrument, present and future serious
defects along with necessary areas of focus will become clear. In this
way, the balance will fulfil an important evaluative and indicative
function, serving as an integral conceptual framework to find out what
investments to make and where they should be made. This report describes
a survey, representing an initial step on the road to a balanced physical
environment, charting further work along the way. It is also meant to
stimulate a broad debate on how to audit this physical environment and
what to study. The concept of the physical environment is defined as
consisting of (stocks of) various objects in a certain (spatial)
arrangement. These objects are evaluated from three perspectives:
ecological, economic and social/psychological. The first two
perspectives focus on long-term issues on sustainability. In the third
perspective the central theme is the perception of the environment by
humans themselves; here, we are concerned about short-term issues on the
sub-national (local) level. The 1970-1995 draft balance also saw its
first elaboration in this report.
