Swedish environmental qualitative objectives:
The Government’s overall environmental policy objective is to hand over next generation a society in which the main environmental problems have been solved.
Sweden should be a driving force and a model of ecologically sustainable development.
• Protection of the environment• Sustainable supplies• Efficient resource utilisation

Environmental objectives and indicators in spatial planning and SEA
Objective:
- To develop a practical method to improve the potential of comprehensive spatial planning for creating a sustainable society.
The method will facilitate communication between those engaged in comprehensive planning, e.g. planners and environmental experts.

Purpose:
- To develop and strengthen the municipalities’ planning activities in order to better integrate environmental aspects into spatial planning.
The SAMS project will also develop and define the potential contribution of spatial planning to the achievement of environmental objectives.

Environmental objectives and indicators in spatial planning and SEA
Reasons for the project:1.
Information in various environ-
mental sectors is not readily available as
data that can be used for spatial planning.2.
No practical method exists for
integrating environ-mental aspects into
community planning.
3. For the purposes of spatial planning GIS
tools will be needed to facilitate visualisation of environmental issues and
the processing of large quantities of inform-
ation.

Approach:
- Environmental objectives are translated into criteria that can be used in spatial planning- Field indicators and plan indicators are developed in order to facilitate environmental impact assessments- Indicators also supply data for SEAs
GIS as a tool for visualisation and information processing

Thematic studies:
- Environmental objectives and physical structures
A study of ways of adapting environmental objectives for use in spatial planning, in particular in order to establish the extent to which physical structures are compatible with the objectives.

Eight case studies within the framework of the SAMS project are in progress in different parts of Sweden. Their common denominator is their connection with ongoing local planning work.

Case studies:
HelsingborgThe focus is on the interaction between built-up areas and traffic. The objective is to ensure that public transport will absorb the increase in traffic. How can spatial planning contribute? Indicators that describe the environmental impact of comprehensive plans and SEA methodologies are also being developed in Helsingborg.

Case studies:
Stockholm – two case studies Case study 1 deals with biological diversity in the National Urban Park. Biological diversity objectives and indicators are being designed for use in spatial planning.
Case study 2 has to do with environmental impact assessments. The study aims to develop a method for integrating environmental assessments into planning at district level. Ways of using these assessments when preparing environmental impact assessments for detailed development plans are also being studied.
