Abstract: Abstract It is now widely acknowledged that sustained economic growth in both industrial and developing countries requires the preservation of the productive capacity of natural systems and the environment. However, both conventional economic development activities and the conditions of poverty itself frequently increase stress on natural systems, and degrade the environment. Thus, maintenance of environmental quality is not automatic, but requires deliberate measures. Compounding the dilemma facing planners is a scarcity or ignorance of suitable techniques and approaches for molding environmental considerations into economic development.
