| dc.description.abstract | Sustainable development is the “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland, 1987). Its main priorities are to enhance economic development, advance social equity and ensure environmental protection (Leiserowitz et al., 2006) by linking what should be sustained (e.g., resources) with what should be developed (e.g., infrastructure) and the emphasis has often differed from extremes of “sustain only” to “develop mostly” to various forms of “and/or” (Kates et al., 2005). Many studies acknowledged the role of spatial planning in this process (Brackhahn B., & Kärkkäinen 2001; Adams et al., 2012; Nadin & Stead, 2008). Indicators provide the possibility to find economic, social and environmental impediments and are also useful tools to communicate ideas, thoughts and values (Kaptagaeva, 2013). Therefore, they are the most appropriate means to measure the level of sustainability of an area and to promote relevant policies (UN, 1992). It is profound though that using indicators to evaluate the level of sustainability requires constant feedback information and data spatially and timely focused (Vagiona et al., 2010). | |
