DPSIR Concept Map
19 / 31
Linking all the individual concepts together forms a DPSIR conceptual map.
The final map highlights the uphill and downhill concepts related to a given topic of concern or management issue.
The DPSIR Keywords List and DPSIR Concept Map are intended to serve as starting points for creating a problem-specific or system-specific DPSIR.
Software programs, such as Microsoft Powerpoint, CMAPTools, or other drawing applications, are useful for creating concept maps or flow-chart diagrams. A specific DPSIR can either be created from scratch, drawing keywords and connections from either the DPSIR Keywords List or DPSIR Concept Map. Alternatively, the DPSIR Concept Map may be downloaded and modified. Concepts can be removed, added, or altered to reflect the specific problem or system. It is anticipated details of the ecosystem state, such as key species or interactions, will need to be added.
