Zusammenfassung
When analyzed with the tools provided by the systems theory, the DPSIR framework apparently implies a model of the natural environment (the ecosystem) separated from and in same way conflicting with the human society and its processes. Moreover, the baseline used to define the responses for the protection of the environment appears to be not generated by such processes. In order to reconcile the model with a more global vision of the dynamics of interest for the environment, the notion of ecosystem services has been added to the DPSIR approach. As a result, it has been obtained a conceptual model that includes all the DPSIR components and, moreover, can exploit the huge amounts of data that are collected on a steady basis for the social systems. This approach could allow to improve the data acquisition and decision making processes meant to provide a better management of the relationships between the humans and the environment.
