Ifen Deduce : Sustainable Development of European Coastal Zones

Deduce > Background

Standard Indicator Format and Indicator Fact Sheet :

The starting point of DEDUCE is the set of 27 indicators and 45 measurements for sustanaible development in coastal zones. This page proposes deux components of DEDUCE work to calculate these indicators :
· - The Standard Indicator Format - SIF: defines and describes the methodology of calculation.
·- The Indicator Fact Sheet – IFS: summarises and communicates the main information obtained by partners on each indicator. The graphs and maps, analysis and comparison are its main components.
All these documents are downloadable on this page.
