Abstract

This chapter evaluates the environment from a far more detailed perspective than is usual. It especially draws attention to the social and behavioural issues that have to be considered. There is a far more detailed method proposed for addressing and classifying the different environmental factors that are of value to society as well as delivering the economic demands necessary.
