Abstract
The authors present a planning tool for comparing and assessing
the sustainability of different wastewater systems. The core of
the planning tool is an assessment method based on both technical
and social elements. The point of departure is that no technique
is inherently sustainable or ecological in itself, but that the
sustainability of the total system of technologies for a
particular settlement in a given location must be assessed in a
holistic and transparent manner. A pilot case is used to
demonstrate the structure and the results of the assessment
method. The assessment method is still under development and this
paper discusses crucial points in the development of the method.
