%T Biodiversity Assessment to Support Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of Small Islands' Spatial Planning (Case Study: Sabang Municipality, Indonesia)
%X Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is believed as to be an appropriate environmental tool to the need for further environmental consideration in strategic level for improvement spatial planning decision-making. However, information about biodiversity to support SEA in spatial planning decision-making is very limited. In fact, integration of biodiversity issues into decision-making process requires information of biodiversity aspects comprehensively. Hence, biodiversity assessment is essential to provide valuable data for SEA implementation. There is numerous methods exist in academic literatures which represent interesting approach dealing with biodiversity issues, namely biodiversity assets assessment (BAA), landscape ecological assessment (LEA) and multi-criteria cost benefit analysis (MCCBA). However, to investigate the highly proper biodiversity assessment method for small islands context, there are several factors to guide selection of the proper method. Principally, each biodiversity assessment method has its connection to each SEA processes which ensures biodiversity is taken into account of decision-making related to biodiversity problems.
