Abstract
Aims to establish that the following points are important in an appreciation of sustainable development; it is a process rather than a single system or product; sustainability results from the interaction of several related systems: values, symbiotic technologies and scale of activities; if outputs from one of these component systems are used as measures or indicators of sustainability, they can only be meaningful if related to the appropriate inputs in that or another of the three component systems; sustainable yield is value-free whereas sustainable development is value-laden; and as it is value-laden, sustainable development can only be managed through careful attention to and use of participative environmental decision-making processes.
