2010 m. Nr. 3-4 Application of indices for assessing the ecological potential of urban development
Nowadays, the ecological evaluation of urban development has become compulsory, and a number of environmental indices have been introduced. In the present study, two most common environmental sustainability indices – ecological footprint and environmental sustainability – were applied for measuring the ecological possibilities of urban development. Moreover, the issues of the measuring principles, their disparities and direct application are discussed, and a short comparison of the indices is presented. Also, a favourable assumption is proposed. Keywords: ecology, index, urban development |
