Osmosis Sample Clauses

Osmosis eventually an innovative solution becomes mainstream practice. At this point the process of transfer becomes hard to monitor, and further transfer takes place through a process of osmosis until the solution becomes standard practice. The main purposes of such participatory approaches relate to: improving the quality of resulting plans and their effective implementation; developing common guidelines for action programs; avoiding and/or solving conflicts; raising awareness and encouraging changes in behaviour; and initiating the learning processes and social empowerment of the participants. SUMMA - Sustainable Mobility, Policy Measures and Assessment Date: 2003 – 2005; FP: 5 SUMMA was designed to support policymakers by providing them with a consistent framework for making trade-offs, where appropriate, among the economic, environmental and social components of sustainability. Although special focus of this project was on sustainability and all the challenges related to it in the context of mobility, many conclusions are relevant for policy measures in general as most problems are multidimensional. It was concluded in SUMMA that policy makers should try to develop policy packages to address the different dimensions of sustainability. Thus, policy measures should be dealt with in an integrated manner, as it is unlikely that any single policy measure can by itself help attain a sustainable transport system. Due to the complexity of some problems―e.g. CO2 reduction―policy packages must often include a wider range of policy measures, for example, management of land use and technological development. In SUMMA a strong recommendation is given towards policies based on charges as opposed to policies based on subsidies, at the same time realising that the context of the policy must be considered as well. SUMMA further noted that transport has both large positive and negative impacts. Thus, policymakers are faced with the conundrum of simultaneously stimulating the positive effects and mitigating the negative effects. The following factors are were deemed to be particularly significant:
