Environmental Impact Assessment retrospect and prospect
Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2007Co-Authors: Carys Jones, Paul Slinn, Christopher WoodAbstract:The widespread experience of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as an anticipatory Environmental management tool has generated a considerable debate over the extent to which it is achieving its purposes. This has been measured in terms of EIA ‘effectiveness’, especially as discussion has moved away from issues of procedural implementation, to the more substantive goals of EIA and its place within broader decision-making contexts. Empirical studies have revealed the relatively weak degree of influence on planning decisions that is being exerted by EIA, which is increasingly being attributed to its rationalist beginnings. This article seeks to direct this debate towards the founding political purposes of EIA which, it is argued, provide a neglected, yet strong, basis for EIA reform. A number of illustrative suggestions are made as a result of this redirection, to enable EIA to adopt a more determinative role in decision making and to contribute to more sustainable patterns of development planning.

risk analysis within Environmental Impact Assessment of proposed construction activity
Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2017Co-Authors: Martina Zeleňáková, Lenka ZvijakovaAbstract:Abstract Environmental Impact Assessment is an important process, prior to approval of the investment plan, providing a detailed examination of the likely and foreseeable Impacts of proposed construction activity on the environment. The objective of this paper is to develop a specific methodology for the analysis and evaluation of Environmental Impacts of selected constructions – flood protection structures using risk analysis methods. The application of methodology designed for the process of Environmental Impact Assessment will develop assumptions for further improvements or more effective implementation and performance of this process. The main objective of the paper is to improve the implementation of the Environmental Impact Assessment process. Through the use of risk analysis methods in Environmental Impact Assessment process, the set objective has been achieved.

Environmental Impact Assessment based on d numbers
Expert Systems With Applications, 2014Co-Authors: Xinyang Deng, Yong Hu, Yong Deng, Sankaran MahadevanAbstract:Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a complex problem influenced by many aspects, such as Environmental, social, economic, etc. Due to the involvement of human judgment, various uncertainties are introduced in the EIA process. One critical issue of EIA is the representation and handling of uncertain information. Many different theories are available to deal with uncertainty, however, deficiencies exist in these theories. In this paper, based on a more effective representation of uncertainty, called D numbers, a new method is proposed for the EIA problem. In the proposed method, the Assessment results of Environmental Impacts are expressed and modeled by D numbers. An illustrative case is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
