Intarese framework

Intarese framework

The INTARESE framework comprises all relevant aspects and builds on all relevant methods to provide guidance for a comprehensive and integrated risk/impact assessment. It recognised the concept of the DPSIR, DPSEEA and MEME frameworks but provides a more flexible and comprehensive framework. The key attributes are:

• the full chain approach, including variables and causal relationships linking the different steps in the chain from source to impact
• the logical process of assessment (steps involved in the execution of the assessment, tasks and responsibilities of the parties involved)
• information input and models (data input and processing, applying models, transforming intermediate variables into meaningful indicators and summary indices)
• appraisal of the information from multiple perspectives
