Abstract
:1. Introduction
- examine the current consideration of alternatives in the EIA and SEA processes in Austria,
- evaluate the performance against contextual factors and the respective EIA and SEA practices and finally,
- discuss possible improvements to the planning processes.
2. Background

2.2. Specification of Alternatives in the EIA and SEA Processes in Austria
2.3. Research Objectives
- the number of examined alternatives and the types of alternatives considered in EIA and SEA reports,
- the reference made to the project and planning environment during the course of the consideration of alternatives,
- the transparency and presentation of alternatives in the written description,
- the consideration of the zero-alternative in EIA and SEA, and finally
- the differences in the application practise between EIA and SEA in Austria.
3. Methodological Approach

Type of Alternative | Example for Classification |
---|---|
Conceptual alternative | Energy Production: A reservoir solution (storage power station: water power) would constitute a concept alternative to a chosen hydraulic power plant because the two types of power plant differ in their mode of operation for producing energy. Transport: Examination of a different means of transport (rail instead of road) is classified as a concept alternative. The same applies for a road in combination with other forms of transport (e.g., road along with a strengthening of public transport). |
Dimension alternative | Energy Production: If different reservoir capacities are evaluated for a hydroelectric power station, these would be dimension alternatives, since they are related to different energy potentials of the whole project. Transport: Alternatives of the total lengths of the traffic route. |
Locational alternative | Energy Production: Routing the pressure pipeline for a hydroelectric power station on different slopes of the valley would be locational alternatives, while aboveground routing of the pipeline vs. underground routing would be counted as a technical alternative for that power station. Transport: Different routes in the existing traffic network constitute locational alternatives. |
Technical alternative | Energy Production: Different types of wind farm converters are basically technical alternatives. Transport: Tunnel (depending on its length, an “overall tunnel solution” could be considered as well a conceptual alternative). |
Application Categories | Evaluation Criteria for Zero Variant | |
1 | The zero variant—in the sense of the likely future development without the plan—is presented, and the proposed plan is compared and evaluated in relation to it. Further potential courses of development, eventualities, or time frames are considered and discussed to outline the problem, and an overall picture is provided for the proposed project. | |
2 | Details on the zero variant—in the sense of the continued development without the plan—are present. The proposed plan is compared in relation to it, and is discussed with regard to its environmental relevance, beyond mere simplifying statements. | |
3 | Zero variant e is identified. Details on the zero alternative are present—if only marginally—in that, for example, the continued development in the sense of the zero alternative corresponds to the current state. | |
4 | Details on the zero variant are present, but are not recognised properly as the standard for evaluation. For example, statements on the need for the proposed plan or on economic considerations are made, and other irrelevant details are given, but the environmentally relevant advantages and disadvantages of refraining from pursuing the plan are not presented. | |
5 | The zero variant or related details are lacking entirely in the environmental report. |
