Generic DPSIR Tools

Although DPSIR has been widely used, tools are generally lacking which can aid decision-makers in building a DPSIR framework for their own problem.

DPSIR frameworks are typically developed to address a specific management problem.

EPA has developed a generic DPSIR framework to aid decision-makers in development of specific DPSIR models for their own systems.

This module covers the use of several tools:

• A list of generic DPSIR keywords and the links between them
• A generic DPSIR concept map

It is anticipated that users will use the DPSIR tools as a starting point, retaining or adding keywords that are specifically relevant for their system.
