New Directions in Social Impact Assessment - New Directions in Social Impact Assessment
2020Co-Authors: Frank Vanclay, Ana Maria EstevesAbstract:This important new book outlines current developments in thinking in the field of Social Impact Assessment (SIA). It advances the theory and practice of SIA, and argues that a dramatic shift is required in the way socioeconomic studies and community participation is undertaken. The book emphasizes that, much more than the act of predicting Impacts in a regulatory context, SIA needs to be the process of managing the Social aspects of development and that there needs to be a holistic and integrated approach to Impact Assessment. It stresses that greater attention needs to be given to ensuring that the goals of development are attained and enhanced.

When and Where is Social Impact Assessment Required? 1
2020Co-Authors: Rabel J Burdge, C. Nicholas TaylorAbstract:1. Does your country, state, province or other governmental unit have legislation that requires Environmental Impact Assessments—e.g., NEPA style legislation? 2. If they answered yes to the first question...” is there wording in the legislation to include the Social Impacts on the human environment or human communities?” 3. Are there specific agencies or governmental organizations that have a specific requirement to do Social Impact Assessment? If yes, which ones? If there are specific requirements to do Social Impact Assessment, how are the regulations or requirements enforced, e.g., terms of references, to obtain a permit or by legally enforceable legislation? Many countries now have some type of environmental policy legislation modeled after the original National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) legislation. We also received responses from the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Community (EU), the Canadian International Development Administration (CIDA) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

the practice of Social Impact Assessment background
Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal, 2003Co-Authors: Rabel J BurdgeAbstract:The goal of Social Impact Assessment is to help individuals and communities, as well as government and private-sector organizations, understand and better anticipate the possible Social consequences for human populations and communities of planned and unplanned Social change resulting from proposed policies, plans, programmes and projects. Like all Assessments, the SIA model is comparative. We look to similar settings for direction as to what will happen in the future. Based on decades of research, we have organized SIA indicators under the general headings of population characteristics, community and institutional structures, political and Social resources, individual and family changes, and community resources. The SIA process identifies alternatives to a proposed action as well as guidelines for enhancement and mitigation.

why is Social Impact Assessment the orphan of the Assessment process
Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal, 2002Co-Authors: Rabel J BurdgeAbstract:Social Impact Assessment (SIA) has not been widely adopted as a component of the Assessment process for project or policy appraisal. This paper focuses on four issues: how we are labeling research on Social Impacts; what historical events led to the separation of SIA from the environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process; whether the Guidelines and Principles for Social Impact Assessment helped focus the research and practice of SIA; and whether there is evidence that we are accumulating a body of knowledge labeled Social Impact Assessment. To become institutionalized EIA-SIA must be a statutory requirement, otherwise agencies and consulting firms that do EIA will not include Social Impacts. The requirement must extend to international bilateral aid, donor and lending agencies.

guidelines and principles for Social Impact Assessment
Environmental Impact Assessment Review; (United States), 1995Co-Authors: Rabel J Burdge, Peter Fricke, Kurt FinsterbuschAbstract:Since passage of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, environmental Impact Assessment has become the key component of environmental planning and decision-making in the US. More recently, agency planners and decision-makers have recognized a need for better understanding the Social consequences of projects, programs, and policies. In response to this need, a group of Social scientists formed the Interorganizational Committee on Guidelines and Principles for Social Impact Assessment (SIA), with the purpose of outlining a set of guidelines and principles that will assist agencies and private interests in fulfilling their obligations under NEPA, related authorities, and agency mandates. The purpose of this paper is to present the central principles and some operational guidelines for use by federal agencies in conducting Social Impact Assessments.

Health and Social Impact Assessment of the South East Queensland Regional Plan (2005-2026).
New South Wales public health bulletin, 2020Co-Authors: Kate J Copeland, Andrea M YoungAbstract:A health and Social Impact Assessment of the South East Queensland Regional Plan was undertaken in 2005 (Queensland Government, 2005). It is one of few attempts nationally and globally to apply health and Social Impact Assessment to a regional planning process. The Assessment methodology builds on existing evidence-based research, methodologies and the combined professional experience of both health and Social Impact Assessment practices in Queensland. The approach adds further strength and rigour to planning strategies to enhance the health and well-being of communities. The way the South East Queensland Regional Plan is implemented, and how the plan influences access to jobs, education, affordable housing and Social infrastructure, and the achievement of Social inclusion and connectedness within communities, will be central to future health and well-being of people in South East Queensland.
