EIA in Brazil

Environ Impact Assess Rev, 2000

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is now established in many countries of the developed and d... more Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is now established in many countries of the developed and developing world. EIA systems do, however, vary greatly in procedures and practice. Some countries have clear regulations, others have guidance, others have more ad hoc procedures. Those with well-established procedures may not necessarily be those with the most well-established practice. This can be a particular problem in the less developed countries, and this article explores and seeks to explain the nature of the EIA procedures–practice gap in Brazil. The institutional framework for EIA in Brazil reveals a system that is highly centralised and without the local basis that could improve its effectiveness. The key EIA legislation (CONAMA Resolution 001/86) has many strengths, but also some key weaknesses. There are considerable variations in implementation between the richer and poorer states of the country and there are some examples of good practice (especially in the southern and southeastern states). However, there are problematic links with planning procedures, a lack of secondary regulations, and very few trained and skilled personnel and material resources. There are weaknesses in the EIA process, and the EIS approval procedure is very bureaucratic and easily derailed by political and economic pressures. The relative strengths and weaknesses of the Brazilian EIA system are highlighted through a comparison with EU/UK practice, using a checklist approach. The article concludes with some pointers to the future for the EIA system in Brazil.

But what are standards and thresholds? They have many, and often overlapping dimensions. What roles do they play

The UK, and the European Union (EU) more generally, have witnessed some important developments in regional planning practice over the last decade which have sought to encourage such integration.

With the increase in tourism in absolute terms and with some shift from sand, sun and sea holidays to more cultural holidays, this pressure is likely to become even more intense. Oxford, a major centre for national and international visitors, has recently been the subject of a major Visitor Study. This article provides an overview of characteristics of visitors to Oxford, their impacts and the management responses to date. The article highlights the varying perspectives and dimensions to impacts and to the visitor capacity of the city.

However, simplifications associated with the creation and use of indicators are capable of undermining the proper conduct of particular tasks. This article analyses the use of indicators in key planning tasks in relation to potential effectiveness and risks, and reflects on the use and creation of indicators.

A vision, known as Iskandar Malaysia, has been facilitated through a Comprehensive Development Plan underpinning strategies to boost the physical and economic development of the Johor Bahru metropolitan area. The latter borders Singapore; the two cities, separated by a one km. sea channel, are linked by two bridges. Thousands of people cross the Johor Straits to enjoy better wages (in Singapore) and cheap goods (in Malaysia). The paper provides an analysis of the Iskandar Malaysia Vision. A key message is the need for future plans to consider both cities, Johor Bahru and Singapore, as part of an emerging transnational urban region.
