Features: Based on an in-depth analysis of the concept, characteristics, and principles of strategic environmental assessment (SEA), this book integrates the practical needs of applying and developing SEA in China. It comprehensively summarizes the global development process of SEA and the experiences in major countries (including developed, transitional, and developing nations) as well as in international multilateral or bilateral cooperation. The book proposes technical key points and critical steps for constructing and selecting evaluation methods, procedures, and indicator systems in practical applications. Additionally, it introduces four domestic case studies at the national, regional, urban, and town levels, fully demonstrating and explaining practical techniques and methods for conducting strategic or planning environmental assessments. This provides theoretical and methodological references for research and practice in related fields. The book is suitable for scientists, managers, and researchers engaged in environmental science, decision science, management science, and planning science, particularly those involved in environmental impact assessment research and practice. It can also serve as a reference for university students and faculty in relevant disciplines.
