“…Our hypothesis can be underpinned theoretically by some of the frameworks used in research on forest-related conflicts 50 . Forest conflicts have been defined as “differing views of reality and underlying cultural biases” 51 or “incompatibility of interests over the same territory or resource” 52 . Such conflicts, not necessarily involving dramatic confrontations or negative changes, are intrinsic to forest governance/management and happen at a range of geographical levels 53 .…”

Cross-scale studies combining information on policy instruments and on drivers of deforestation and forest degradation are key to design and implement effective forest protection measures. We investigated the scale and country dependency of stakeholder perceptions about future threats to tropical forests (e.g. agriculture, logging, woodfuel) and preferred policy instruments (e.g. reforestation, protected areas, combat illegal logging), by interviewing 224 representatives of forest-related institutions. We conducted analysis of variance and principal component analysis for eighteen variables across three countries (Zambia, Ecuador and the Philippines) and four spatial levels (from international to local). We found that the overall alertness about commercial drivers and the confidence in policy instruments are significantly lower at subnational levels and also in Zambia. Stakeholder expectations about the most important drivers and the most effective policies in the coming decade follow regional narratives, suggesting that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions in international forest policy. However, we found an unexpected consensus across scales, indicating potential for collaboration between institutions operating at different geographical levels. Overall, agriculture remains the driver with the highest expected influence (43%), while a strong favoritism for reforestation and forest restoration (38%) suggests a paradigm shift from protected areas to a stronger focus on integrative approaches.

“…This right is increasingly being used by proliferating environmental interest and pressure groups [2]. It is accepted as an integral part of the sustainable development process [3] and is currently embraced all over the world as an important means of promoting the sustainable management of natural resources [4]. The goal of participation is to improve quality, legitimacy and capacity of environmental assessment and decisions.…”

Public participation in environmental decision-making is nowadays accepted as an integral part of the sustainable development process and an important mean for improving quality, legitimacy and capacity of environmental assessment and decisions. When communities participate in the management of their resources in form of consultation or active involvement, there is a greater likelihood of success as people are more willing to obey their own regulations than those imposed upon them from outside. This paper presents results of a survey in Serbia-BiH cross border region that explored the attitudes of local people towards natural resources and environment quality, environmental priorities and efficiency of local government in solving environmental problems. Results were used as inputs for drafting "Action plan for sustainable use of cross border natural resource" contributing in this way to better acceptance and easier implementation of the plan at the community level.

“…Inappropriate land use change, pollution, the destruction of natural resources is considered as some serious problems of environmental imbalances around the world [3,4]. These problems indicate the fact that the world's natural environment has limited ecological power for human use in some areas, nature with minimal loss provides the highest development, and in others, minimum development and manipulate in it leads to the irreversible effects [5]. Therefore, in order to reduce these impacts, and achieve appropriate land development, especially regional development, there is need to taking advantage of the features and functionality of each part of the country for planning [6,7].…”

Due to the high potential of petrochemical industry in the creation of environmental impact, environment impact assessment of the development of petrochemical industry is very important. The aim of this study is to provide and test a fuzzy model for environmental impact assessment of petrochemical industries as a decision support system in planning process and the development of petrochemical industry. To test this model, the Lorestan province was chosen as the study area. In order to assess the impact of petrochemical industry in Lorestan, the combination of RIAM method and fuzzy theory was used. First, using check lists and holding meetings with experts, the type of petrochemical industry impacts on environmental factors was determined. Next, the effects of project activities on environmental factors were scored; the fuzzy scoring was done using defined criteria in MATLAB software. Environmental components considered in the method used were divided into 4 main factors including physicalchemical, biological-ecological, social-cultural and economic-functional and 33 sub-factors, assessment of nonimplementation, construction and operation stage was carried out individually. The results show the most important environmental impacts of petrochemical projects, water and soil pollution, air and noise as well as its socioeconomic consequences. The results showed that the operation in petrochemical industry will create more important implications than the construction stage, some of them in terms of lack of control and environmental management, are irreversible and damaging.
