Abstract
Clear understanding that the human year-by-year negatively affects natural environment brings up the idea of sustainable development (WCED, 1987), which includes reduction of anthropogenic impact down to a level assimilated by nature. To implement the last one practically, permanent efforts on development and step-by-step implementation of “good” decisions are needed at the global and local scales. A process of elaboration of such a decisions includes several obligatory steps: gathering of data, extracting an information and its analysis against selected criteria, and, finally, development of decisions and implementation of them (Figure 1).
