Territorial impact assessment
Spatial development glossary, European Conference of Ministers responsible for Spatial/Regional Planning (CEMAT), Territory and landscape, No 2, published by Council of Europe Publishing in 2007, defines a territorial impact assessment as: ‘…a method which aims at identifying the impacts that all types of spatially-relevant public policies, measures and projects may have on the territory, especially on territorial sustainability and cohesion. In this respect, the territorial impacts to be identified may be of economic, social, environmental and cultural nature. They may be related to changes in accessibility, biodiversity, locational preferences, regional/local employment opportunities, quality of life, etc.’
