Defining impact significance is the main technical task that influences decision-making during the Environmental Licensing Procedure (ELP). The ELP begins with screening to determine potentially significant impacts of the proposed project. Scoping then follows to address any interventions deemed worthy of attention in the production of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This will include consideration of relevant landforms and geomorphological processes. However, preliminary assessments of environmental impacts often lack the scientific robustness to procure substantive and transactive effectiveness. This review presents an examination of the established practices of screening and scoping while highlighting the foremost challenges to improve the technical grounds of the ELP. The analysis of screening and scoping practices stresses the need for novel methods that ensure the sequential reasoning between their criteria while improving the preliminary evaluation of impact significance. Reducing the inherent subjectivity of discretionary judgment requires scientific methodologies that acknowledge the interaction between the natural system and human interventions, which has been addressed by geomorphological research. The knowledge consolidated in this review opens the gate to explore the compatibility between the United Nations strategy of Ecosystem Approach (EA) with the ELP through a novel geomorphological interpretation of the EIA. Therefore, this diagnosis demonstrate that screening and scoping practices would benefit from reliable methods that balance the precautionary principle with the efficient character required in the ELP.

环境许可程序初期的挑战以及地貌的潜在贡献

确定影响重要性是影响环境许可程序 (ELP) 决策的主要技术任务。ELP 从筛选开始,以确定拟议项目的潜在重大影响。然后确定范围以解决在环境影响评估 (EIA) 的制作过程中被认为值得关注的任何干预措施。这将包括考虑相关的地形和地貌过程。然而,对环境影响的初步评估往往缺乏获得实质性和交互有效性的科学稳健性。本综述对筛选和范围界定的既定做法进行了审查,同时强调了改善 ELP 技术基础的首要挑战。筛选和范围界定实践的分析强调需要新方法来确保其标准之间的顺序推理,同时改进对影响重要性的初步评估。减少随意判断的内在主观性需要承认自然系统和人类干预之间相互作用的科学方法,地貌研究已经解决了这一问题。本综述中整合的知识为探索联合国生态系统方法 (EA) 战略与 ELP 之间的兼容性打开了大门,通过对 EIA 的新地貌解释。所以,
