Producing Interactive Environmental Impact Assessments On CD-ROM

摘要

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) can be lengthy, complex documents. A typical EIA might contain 250 pages of text, 10-20 color figures, 30-40 tables, and 5-10 lengthy appendixes. These documents quickly become cumbersome for the reader. In addition, pages may easily be lost or damaged. Printing and binding costs for complex EIAs are expensive (hundreds of dollars per copy), and often limit disribution.
