Abstract Environmental sensitivity analysis provides a framework for systematically and objectively determining the potential for significant environmental impacts. The higher the natural or acquired sensitivity of the receiving environment, the less capable it is to cope with human-induced change. Given that sensitivity is context- and spatially-specific, Geographic Information Systems have been applied to develop an operational Webtool to analyse it. The Webtool enables a rapid and replicable spatial examination of environmental sensitivities and potential for land-use conflicts that supports Strategic Environmental Assessment and, ultimately, informed planning and decision-making. The novelty is on the provision of an online geoprocessing Widget that enables creation of context-specific maps. Pilot testing the Webtool in land-use and renewable energy planning through stakeholder engagement has validated its applicability. Stakeholders confirmed that it enables replicating and, in some cases, improving in-house SEA mapping processes while saving time and effort. However, its full reliance on publicly available spatial datasets renders completeness and resolution issues. The Webtool provides a critical starting-point for sectoral planning discussions and for developing plan/programme alternatives that avoid or minimise potentially incompatible or unsustainable zonings, while promoting consistency and transparency in impact assessment.

映射环境敏感性:支持环境评估和规划的系统在线方法

摘要 环境敏感性分析为系统和客观地确定潜在的重大环境影响提供了一个框架。接收环境的自然或后天敏感性越高,它应对人为变化的能力就越弱。鉴于敏感性是上下文和空间特定的,地理信息系统已被应用于开发一个可操作的网络工具来分析它。Webtool 可以对环境敏感性和土地使用冲突的可能性进行快速和可复制的空间检查,从而支持战略环境评估,并最终支持明智的规划和决策。新颖之处在于提供了一个在线地理处理小部件,可以创建特定于上下文的地图。通过利益相关者参与在土地使用和可再生能源规划中试点测试 Webtool 已验证其适用性。利益相关者证实,它可以复制并在某些情况下改进内部 SEA 映射过程,同时节省时间和精力。然而,它完全依赖公开可用的空间数据集会导致完整性和分辨率问题。Webtool 为部门规划讨论和制定计划/计划替代方案提供了一个重要的起点,以避免或最大限度地减少可能不兼容或不可持续的分区,同时促进影响评估的一致性和透明度。改进内部 SEA 制图流程,同时节省时间和精力。然而,它完全依赖公开可用的空间数据集会导致完整性和分辨率问题。Webtool 为部门规划讨论和制定计划/计划替代方案提供了一个重要的起点,以避免或最大限度地减少可能不兼容或不可持续的分区,同时促进影响评估的一致性和透明度。改进内部 SEA 制图流程,同时节省时间和精力。然而,它完全依赖公开可用的空间数据集会导致完整性和分辨率问题。Webtool 为部门规划讨论和制定计划/计划替代方案提供了一个重要的起点,以避免或最大限度地减少可能不兼容或不可持续的分区,同时促进影响评估的一致性和透明度。
