Abstract This paper explores the concept of pluralism by evaluating different stakeholder views on the expected and realised value of strategic environmental assessment (SEA). The research followed a single embedded case study approach (of a national-level SEA for renewable energy planning in South Africa) and engaged with four different stakeholder groups, namely government, industry, conservation groups, and interested and affected parties (IAPs). A total of 21 different value expectations (VEs) across all four stakeholder groups were identified. However, stakeholder groups contrast significantly in terms of VEs, with government concerned more with process and mandate; industry with cost, efficiency and certainty; conservation groups with data and technical aspects; and the IAPs with local scale issues. In terms of realisation of VEs the results suggest that SEA does provide opportunities for learning; focussing project level EIA and providing spatial guidance on the location of projects. However, SEA was less successful in realising integration of decision making and alignment of policy within government. Recognition and better understanding of the pluralistic nature of expected and realised VEs could potentially improve the legitimacy of SEA processes and methodologies if they are designed and implemented to accommodate pluralism.

探索多元化——利益相关者对战略环境评估 (SEA) 的预期和实现价值的不同看法

摘要 本文通过评估不同利益相关者对战略环境评估(SEA)的预期和实现价值的看法,探讨了多元化的概念。该研究遵循单一的嵌入式案例研究方法(南非可再生能源规划的国家级 SEA),并与四个不同的利益相关者团体进行了接触,即政府、行业、保护团体以及利益相关方和受影响方 (IAP)。总共确定了所有四个利益相关者群体的 21 个不同的价值期望 (VE)。然而,利益相关者群体在 VE 方面形成鲜明对比,政府更关注流程和授权;具有成本、效率和确定性的行业;具有数据和技术方面的保护团体;以及具有局部规模问题的 IAP。在 VE 的实现方面,结果表明 SEA 确实提供了学习机会;关注项目级别的环评并提供项目位置的空间指导。然而,策略性环境评估在实现政府内部决策的整合和政策的一致性方面不太成功。如果 SEA 过程和方法的设计和实施能够适应多元化,那么对预期和实现的 VE 的多元化性质的认识和更好的理解可能会提高 SEA 过程和方法的合法性。
