Abstract
Decisions taken in Egypt are not enough loaded by environmental
considerations, and consequently a lot of environmental deterioration IS
happening in the Egyptian Environment due to this Situation.
Until now project level assessment dose not save the Egyptian Environment
because it happens after decisions are taken in high level and it doesn’t
taken any accumulative impacts in account.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a supporting tool to decide the
making process. Transparency and public participation is the backbone of
this assessment, SEAs appeared in the last two decades to emphasize the
concept of sustainability via applying the mentioned two concepts.
Land use planning is a decision-making process that facilitates the allocation
of land to provide the greatest sustainable benefits; the role of SEA is to
achieve this goal in order to avoid environmental deterioration consequences
caused from irreversible decision making.
This research advocates that; the adoption of a tool like SEA can help in
better decision making, and solve current environmental problems in Egypt.
As it is applied in the high level of decision making process, so saving the
environment happens in higher level and before we cascade down to project
level.
This research aims to develop a road map for applying SEA approach in land
use planning in Egypt via constructing SEA model compatible with the
Egyptian context. This context was explored in two directions, first exploring current Environmental studies in Egypt, and secondly exploring current land
use planning in Egypt and identifying its procedure and institutional
frameworks.
