SENSOR Sustainability Impact Assessment: Tools for Environmental, Social and Economic Effects of Multifunctional Land Use in European Regions
Country: European Union
Start Date:   1/12/2004         Duration: 49 months         Project Type: RTD
Contract Number: 
Organisation Type:  EC Project
Topics: 
Contaminated land-->Wider impacts / sustainability-->Assessment tools
Contaminated land-->Wider impacts / sustainability-->Sustainable / green remediation
Project objectives: 
The EU-FP6 Integrated Project SENSOR will develop science based ex-ante Sustainability Impact Assessment Tools (SIAT) to support decision making on policies 
related to multifunctional land use in European regions.
Project Summary: 
Sustainability of land use in European regions is a central point of policy and management decisions at different levels of governance. Implementation of 
European policies designed to promote and protect multifunctional land use requires the urgent development of robust tools for the assessment of different 
scenarios' impacts on the environmental, social and economic sustainability in European regions.    
SENSOR will build, validate and implement Sustainability Impact Assessment Tools (SIAT), including databases and spatial reference frameworks for the 
analysis of land and human resources in the context of land use policies for Europe.
Achieved Objectives: 
The SENSOR project is structured into seven interrelated modules. Each module consists of several work packages. To ensure full integration of research components 
particularly with regard to sectors and disciplines, the structure follows a procedural approach. The modules are:   
   
M1: Scientific co-ordination and project management   
M2: European land use scenario assessment and forecasting   
M3: Regional sustainability problems, risks and thresholds   
M4: SIAT integration and end user tool   
M5: Integrated data and indicator management   
M6: Sustainability issues in sensitive regions   
M7: Stakeholder participation and institutional analysis   
M8: SENSOR TTC: Transferability test to China and MERCOSUR
