Its development in recent years has proved that further enlargement of ecotourism’s segment, in the future, is possible. Despite this growth, the definitional approaches of the concept have been misleading and have often created a confusion among practitioners in the industry. It is these confused theories of ecotourism that have presumably contributed to the prevailing attitude in managing the concept. Taking into consideration the fragility of the environment in conjunction with the sensitivity of ecotourism visits to sites, the use of environmental auditing is important. Environmental auditing concentrates its application on identifying the present and potential environmental impacts on the ecosystems. Starting with a description of the basic environmental elements (water, waste etc) environmental auditing progresses to detail the impacts to each element through the use of environmental indicators. In overall terms, this technique can assist the resources’ managers to safeguard their assets within the sites, and to implement their ecotourism strategies. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000This paper describes and views the concept of ecotourism as a sub-component of natural tourism.

However, it is the source and extent of such pressures that determine business response. At present it would appear that the principal pressure on UK businesses to demonstrate environmental responsibility is that exerted by government through legislation and regulations. Businesses must comply with such legislation or risk punitive action. Compliance is the basis of environmental responsibility. However, businesses may elect to go beyond compliance which implies that they are implementing a leadership strategy, balancing risk against competitive advantage. An environmental leadership strategy can provide competitive advantage for a company in two ways: firstly, by catering for a demand in the market place for environmentally responsible products or services ahead of its rivals; secondly, by generating cost savings from practices that conserve energy and materials and reduce waste. Companies that have determined that their strategy should be one of environmental leadership will want to publicize this to their stakeholders. One way of doing this is through an environmental management system standard. This paper presents a case study on Autosmart Ltd., one of the first companies in the UK to obtain BS7750. The case study describes the motives for seeking certification, the changes made to products and processes to improve environmental performance, and the commercial and competitive benefits gained through certification. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.","PeriodicalId":268690,"journal":{"name":"Eco-management and Auditing","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123966551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EIA AUDITING TO DETERMINE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE 环境影响评估审核以确定环境管理绩效

In the past much EIA auditing has focused on predictive techniques and prediction accuracy, which provide little information on the actual environmental outcomes. However, of central interest in determining the effectiveness of EIA is the extent to which the environment is managed and protected as a result of the EIA process as it is intended. A framework is presented for EIA auditing which focuses on the environmental management outcomes of projects that have undergone EIA. The audit methodology for determining EIA effectiveness focuses on several distinct EIA components: impact prediction; occurrence of actual impacts; and the management of potential and actual environmental impacts. These are examined with particular attention to impact and environmental management outcomes. The results are stored in a computerized database which can be used as an implementation record for individual projects that have undergone EIA or for the statistical analysis of large numbers of projects collectively to present an overall picture of EIA environmental management performance. This approach to EIA auditing has applications for project managers, EIA assessment authorities, policy-makers and academics alike. Some preliminary results of an EIA audit of six case studies in Western Australia are presented. These indicate that the EIA process has focused attention on significant issues. Correlation exists between issue identification and the implementation of environmental management actions irrespective of predictive accuracy. Some management activities have avoided impacts occurring. Many impacts have been responded to irrespective of whether they were predicted accurately or even considered in predictions. Overall, an effective environmental management regime was established by the EIA process utilized for the six case studies.","PeriodicalId":268690,"journal":{"name":"Eco-management and Auditing","volume":"19 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120877311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kenney","doi":"10.1002/EMA.179","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/EMA.179","url":null,"abstract":"This article suggests some do's and don'ts when implementing BS7750. BS7750, like many other management standards, provides a framework for managing and auditing the environmental aspects of a business. The underlying intent of the standard is to provide a traceable route to identify and assess environmental issues. Problems may arise in realising the intent of this standard where an organisation allows achievement of the standard to become its ultimate goal rather than the means to achieving a goal. In such a situation there is danger of management being driven by the requirement to adhere to the procedures associated with the standard rather than focusing upon the objective. To avoid such problems it is necessary to first view BS7750 as a means by which an organisation may achieve a goal to which the organisation is already committed. The standard is simply a framework which the organisation uses to adapt and ‘fill-in’ to reflect its own situation and meet its own needs. This paper discusses some of the lessons learnt when applying or implementing other standards, such as BS5750, and identifies some of the key steps in getting the most out of BS7750.
