Abstract
GOMEZ VILLARINO, Teresa and GOMEZ OREA, Domingo. IMPRO4 - SAAS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2012, vol.22, n.2, pp.179-195. ISSN 0124-8170.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces IMPRO4-EIA, software designed to develop the Environmental Impact Analysis of a project and its alternatives. It works in a systematic, fast, effective and efficient way in compliance with the current rules and latest approaches. This study is the main support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The operation of this program is based on a conversational method in order to reproduce several work hypothesis, which enables the user to take into account several criteria, assessments, judgments… obtaining results very quickly. Its complex nature inherent in the course of its process’ uncertainty makes this procedure of great interest. And this because one of the most useful ways of dealing with uncertainty is to carry out sensitivity analysis, i.e. to analyze how the results change as working hypotheses change which can only be done effectively with the proper tool to get such results quickly.
