Environmental impact assessment - ecological framework

Procjena utjecaja na okoliš daje informacije o mogućim utjecajima planiranih projekata onima koji su zaduženi za donošenje odluka o provedbi ili zabrani tog projekta. Cilj ovoga rada je predstaviti pojam procjene utjecaja na okoliš, analizirati korake unutar samog procesa, kao i prateće strategije. Prednosti uvođenja i implementacije procjene utjecaja na okoliš se ogledaju i u sve većoj zainteresiranosti javnosti i istraživača koji se na takav način educiraju i kasnije razvijaju modernije načine rješavanja problema. Pravni okvir predstavlja temelj unutar kojeg se ograničava i određuje raspon količine učinka određenog projekta na okolinu. U radu se daje pregled pravne regulativa na razini Europske unije, kao i Republike Hrvatske. Na stvarnom primjeru grada Rovinja istaknuti susvi koraci nužni za izradu studije outjecaju na okoliš.The environmental impact assessment provides information on the possible impacts of planned projects to persons responsible for taking decisionson the implementation or the ban of the project.The objective of this paper is to present the concept of environmental impact assessment, to analyse the steps of the process, as well as accomanying strategies. The benefits of environmental impact assessments introducition and implementationalso reflect in the growing interest of the public and researchers thateducate and subsequently develop up-to-date ways to address the problem. The legal framework limits and determines the range of impact of specific project on the environment. This paper gives an overview of the European Union law, as well as Croatian law.
