Document Summary

Indigenous knowledge, according to stevenson (1996) is knowledge that encompasses traditional and non-traditional, as well as ecological and non-ecological knowledge. It focuses on the knowledge indigenous people have about the relationships and appropriate behaviours governing the use of resources: beth and jon (trca) highlighted the importance of scale in planning and ea practice. Discuss the differences between large and local scale planning: large scale planning is for large areas and takes into consideration the bigger picture; it establishes principles for development areas. Because the scale is larger, it also takes into consideration future problems and works to prevent them. Regional and local scale is more typical of municipal proceedings, like infrastructure plans or natural heritage projects. They are for smaller, simpler areas and may include growth plans or sustainability strategies. In brazil, proponents need to submit two ea documents during the environmental licensing process (i. e. , environmental impact study and environmental impact report).
