ABSTRACT

As the world’s attention turns to sustainability and the considerations of cumulative effects,the concept of Strategic Environmental Assessment(SEA) has become more significant andurgent and increasing number of countries and international organizations now undertakesome forms of SEA. The term SEA, however, is variously defined and understood; generally itmeans a formal process of systematic analysis of the environmental effects on developmentpolicies, plans, programmes and other proposed strategic actions. This process extends the aimsand principles of EIA upstream in the decision-making process, beyond the project level inwhich major alternatives are still open.There is a shift toward more integrative approaches and greater use of Environmental ImpactAssessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as sustainability tools incooperation with Environmental Management System (EMS). Currently, Korea has EIA systemand Prior Environmental Review System (PERS) which is different type of SEA as EnvironmentAssessment (EA) system. APEMI IA MODEL integrated following three pillar(refer to attached figure.1) ; First pillar symbolized decision making cycle with planning process. Second pillar symbolized integrated assessment which tying SEA and EIA with specific impacts assessment(eg: social impact assessment, economic impact assessment, health impact assessment etc) in cooperation with EMS. Third pillar symbolized EA best practical procedure of International Association for Impact Assessment(IAIA). Considering the above, we applied new conceptual model(APEMI IA MODEL) into Impact Assessment for better integrated decision-making in KOREA as an alternative IA system(IS IA MODEL A and B refer to attached figure 4, 5).
