• Fourth, the effectiveness of the uncoordinated and integrative scenarios for
attaining environmental quality objectives was assessed and the respective
implementation costs were calculated. The uncoordinated scenario and the
integrative scenario were then compared to determine their degree of effec-
tiveness for enhancing the provision of several landscape functions and the
efficiency of the resources that were spent. In this way, we could compare the
unintentional multifunctional effects that resulted from the uncoordinated sce-
nario with the multifunctional effects resulting from the planned multifunc-
tionality of the integrative scenario. The comparison provides insights on how
integrative management increases or decreases implementation costs in com-
parison to sectoral management.
