Input Variables

The quality of any economic impact assessment largely depends on the adequacy of the input variables and chosen assumptions. This article presents a direct economic impact assessment of a music festival hosted in Norway and sensitivity analyses of two study design assumptions: estimated number of attendees and chosen definition (size) of the affected area. Empirically, the article draws on a state-of-the-art framework of an economic impact analysis and uses primary data from 471 event attendees. The results show that, first, an economic impact analysis is a complex task that requires high precision in assessing different monetary flows entering and leaving the host region, and second, the study design assumptions exert a tremendous influence on the final estimation. Accordingly, the study offers a fertile agenda for local destination marketing organizers and event managers on how to conduct reliable economic impact assessments and explains which elements of such analyses are particularly important for final estimations.

Climate change evolution, joined by other environmental issues, will lead in the coming years to a rapid introduction of new actions and technologies. They will have to resolve, in the different economic sectors, one or more aspects of the current unsustainability. The relevant risk is that, in urgent conditions where the unreleased practices will be proposed, the assessment of their environmental impact will remain limited to their specificfield/sector. Therefore, the evaluation would not be extended to any wide-ranging environmental effects. Withoutan accurate assessment it would be impossible to determine whether the solution was more damaging and burdensometo the environment than the initial problem. Small-medium anthropic activities do not possess, from the economicpoint of view, the means and the duty to achieve an impact analysis ad hoc. This work aims to describe an analysis methodology developed for the environmental impact assessment of Small-Medium Enterprises. It is both exhaustive and easily applicable to small work activities and processes. This methodology is aimed both at business managers and at local authorities. The identified method of analysis allows an exhaustive evaluation of the whole forest energy chain and the identification of technical choice with less impact on the environment.

AbstractThe primary research aim was to explore the possibilities of transferring relevant data from information systems and databases required for practical environmental impact assessment. The necessary and adequate data content of environmental impact studies were defined according to legal regulations, expert recommendations as well as available impact studies. Furthermore, the data content of information systems pertinent to environmental impact analysis were investigated in view of data transmission. Disposing of the primary data required for impact studies, the classification of environmental objects (object class, object group, object type) was performed. Based on the latter, a pattern system design was completed; in the course of developing this, we defined the individual system overlays in the theoretical model, then assigned properties of the individual object types in the database model.

Abstract In comparison with the dominant ‘consideration model’, the veto arrangement of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in China is a substantive regulatory feature that empowers environmental authorities to impinge on development activities. However, the anticipated efficacies thereof are compromised by the central–local division of EIA approval. The mismatch between high enforcement rates and prevalent non-compliance shows that EIA approval can be easily circumvented, especially at local levels. Recent mass, blanket devolution in a hasty manner, coupled with enthusiastic local responses in watering down EIA approval, raises serious concerns about its appropriateness and effectiveness. The tendency to deregulate by loosening environmental scrutiny and the reinvention of EIA procedures in light of project licensing processes impairs the veto effects of EIA approval. Without formal legislative empowerment in the central–local framework and individualised regulatory impact analysis, the current devolution approach is bound to endanger environmental quality and undermine the legitimacy of the veto arrangement.
