摘要: Sustainability indicators have become popular as a tool for the assessment of sustainable development in different sectors society, including urban water sector. For management several sets been suggested, using frameworks based on such drinking water, wastewater and stormwater, or domains social, economic environmental issues. Still, these approaches some major drawbacks; they limited system definition, are mainly focused technical systems performance emphasizing distance to target-perspective, focus upon kinds impact assessments. This paper presents framework stormwater order be used planning comparisons between available options. It is re-framing theory focusing general characteristics instead case-specific target reach. The advantage this kind indicator that it relies perspective sustainability cannot measured one quantitative scale, possibilities formal comprehensive aggregation limited, judged without consideration its surroundings. presented here can altered adjusted conditions; not important time-and-place-independent guiding
