Y1 - 2012/// UR - https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/652/ N2 - The thesis focuses on airport development studies and the notion of Strategic Environmental Assessment. The postulation is that SEA triggers localized values and visionary opportunities for growth towards sustainable development. SEA triggers means to achieve better governance practices that support long-term perspectives instead of short-term solutions. Hereby the objectives for assessing the quality of SEA for airport related developments are twofold ? the ability to partake strategic alternatives and the potential of SEA for further development in airport cities. Alternatives should be seen as elements of holistic approaches including improved environmental, social, financial and sustainability notions that is a step further for establishing better SEA practices in relation with airport development. SEA is strong tool in decision-making that advances the promotion of sustainable development and should be enriched by integration of socioeconomic issues. In terms of cohesive attitudes, community-based approaches might have positive effect on mitigating so-called airport resilience.
