文摘This paper concerns the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the construction of some major Greek motorways: the Ionia Motorway, the Peloponnese Motorway and the Athens-Lamia Motorway. In the beginning the natural and cultural diversity of the Greek landscape as well as its conservation needs are discussed. The landscape impact assessment methodology consists of the identification of environmental goals, of sensitive landscape parameters, of environmental indicators and of acceptable impact thresholds. The selection of alternative solutions as well as of mitigation measures has been studied, on the basis of relevant environmental indicators. The developed methodology may constitute a tool for the environmental management of other road programs of great scale.
