, Question 1Contrast the roles of Hazard Mapping and Environmental Impact
Assessments (EIAs) within Integrated Environmental Management
(IEM). Give examples to support your answer.
Integrated Environmental Management (IEM) is a framework aimed at
promoting sustainable development by integrating environmental
considerations into decision-making processes. Two critical tools within
IEM are Hazard Mapping and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs),
each serving distinct yet complementary roles.
Hazard Mapping
Hazard Mapping involves identifying and delineating areas that are
susceptible to natural or anthropogenic hazards, such as earthquakes,
floods, landslides, or industrial accidents. Its primary role is to provide a
visual representation of hazard-prone areas, which aids in risk assessment
and management planning. For instance, in coastal regions prone to
tsunamis, hazard maps can demarcate zones that are at high risk, guiding
the placement of evacuation routes and emergency shelters (Blanchard &
Knuth, 2004).
