planification ABC : proposition. Cette approche a d'abord été élaborée dans le monde anglo-saxon et le terme ne possède pas d'équivalent français. Elle fait partie des méthodes de planification environnementale intégrée, qui visent à prendre en compte toutes les composantes de l'environnement naturel et du patrimoine culturel. Par exemple, dans le cas de projets d'aménagement urbain, on veillera à protéger les habitats naturels (flore et faune) et le patrimoine culturel. 2, record 1, French, - planification%20ABC
