Abstract

Until now, the majority of environmental and economic problems have been studied in a monodisciplinary way so that the impacts between different variables are neglected. An integrated environmental model has been developed in which economic, geographical and spatial elements are analysed in relation to the natural environment. The results of integrated modelling are relevant for physical planning because insight is obtained about the medium-long term (i.e., 5–15 years) consequences of a concrete plan for a region.
