Abstract


Geographic Information Systems can be consider as one of the most powerful tools for the Environmental Impact Assessment in the long distance railways and highways infrastructures. The evaluation process begin with the analysis of the activity and the physical and ecological geography. One of the most common bottlenecks is the use of environmental criteria for the discrimination of different evaluation proposals. A methodotogical approach is presented with seven diverse environmental criteria involved. The use of this multilevel methodology can help to physical planner sand decision makers in the selection of the best environmental proposal.
