In particular we wish to reach a procedure that, starting from a specific vision of "environment", allows to identify environmental indicators of context and performance that are suitable in reading environmental state and trend.The thesis is structured in five parts that analyze:1. the set of rules in force, as a founding element in understanding and identifying strengths and limits in the analyzed case studies;2. Italian and British manuals and guidelines on how to implement SEA;3. 12 case studies selected from those submitted by eight European countries including Italy, Malta, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, and Sweden from August 2006 to June 2007;4. the proposed approach to indicators selection;5. a case study: Fauna and Hunting Plan, Province of Medio Campidano (Sardinia).
