The Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) Framework shows the impact of land use changes on economic, social, cultural and environmental indicators, allowing exploration of scenarios where land use is changing for a specified region of New Zealand.
Using two case study regions, the Ashburton district and Mosgiel, the particular issues examined to develop the framework were the impact of land use changes associated with nitrate leaching and peri-urban development.
Developed alongside key stakeholders using research from the Measuring Full Impacts of Land-Use Change project, this framework provides a consistent framework for evaluating scenarios about future developments in land use. Access the IIA Framework tool and the Getting Started Guide
