Avaliação ambiental estratégica (AAE) como proposta para o desenvolvimento sustentável da borda marítima da Península de Itapagipe: uma aproximação às etapas de screning e scoping

Abstract

The present study proposes an in-depth analysis of the limits and potential of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as a crucial instrument for sustainable development. It focuses on SEA's ability to guide decisions related to policies, plans and programs, effectively incorporating environmental considerations. The research covers a comprehensive review of the main components of the SEA, following the sequential steps and the model proposed by Partidário (2017) for carrying out this assessment. The study adopts a practical approach by exploring the screening and scoping stages, focusing on the specific maritime edge of the Itapagipe Peninsula as a geographic scale. During this process, there is an in-depth analysis of critical decision factors, strategic issues and the main environmental factors and impacts inherent to the local context, culminating in the definition of robust environmental guidelines. At the end of the evaluation process, a governance framework for action is developed, providing an applicable structure and reference in the decision-making process aimed at the region. This governance framework not only consolidates the study's conclusions, but also offers a practical guide to guide future actions, ensuring a sustainable focus on initiatives aimed at the Itapagipe Peninsula.
