Bedömning av skada på bevarandeintressen : en metodutveckling, huvudrapport

• Assessment of damage to heritage assets is often a weak element inenvironmental impact assessments (EIA). General method development is neededin this respect as support for the authors of analyses and descriptions forroad projects. The task of the project Assessment of damage to heritageassets was to develop a method which can assess damage to protected areas fornature, culture or outdoor activities. The types of areas which have beenstudied are areas of national interest and Natura 2000 areas. The method hasbeen developed with reference to a major review of e.g. Swedish, European andsupranational handbook and educational literature, investigation materialfrom infrastructure projects, and current guidelines and laws. The method isdesigned as a checklist which deals with a number of planning stages, i.e. anumber of questions each of which must be answered before proceeding to theend of the checklist where an assessment - no damage, damage or pronounceddamage - has to be made. At the same time, those completing the checklistmust also answer a number of relevant questions in order to motivate theirstandpoint regarding the assessment of damage, both to themselves and toothers. The method has been tested on a newly produced EIA and has beenjudged by external reviewers to work well.
