Abstract

A systematic approach including seven steps to build indicators for scenario monitoring was developed. Factor analysis was used to assign weights to individual indicators. And then individual indicators were aggregated linearly to build composite indicator. Next, the composite indicators were used to assess the changes in the driving forces so as to infer which scenario is likely to come to pass. A set of four scenarios was analyzed. The result showed that the environment in the selected year is more like a “Collaborative World”.
