Edited by Frank Vanclay, Professor of Cultural Geography, Department of Cultural Geography, Faculty of Spatial Sciences, University of Groningen, the Netherlands and Ana Maria Esteves, Director, Community Insights Group, the Netherlands; Visiting Professor, Faculty of Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Scotland
‘I read this book as a social impact assessment (SIA) practitioner
and teacher and as such I found it informative, provocative and
inspiring as well as being highly readable. . . a valuable book. .
. The book presents a strong case for the place of SIA in the
project decision-making, monitoring and management process, and it
provides excellent material for practitioners to use in arguing for
the resources, organisational approach and attitudes needed to
produce quality work. At the same time it provides some excellent
new ideas, a timely reminder of the principles and values behind
best practice SIA, and a range of tools to use to improve
performance. As such it is a book that I will use in future
training courses and that I will recommend to my students.’
*Dianne Buchan, Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal*
‘This book should be read by anyone commissioning impact
assessments who wants to build their understanding of the more
progressive and innovative end of the topic. A job well done in the
eyes of stakeholders and regulators requires proper social
analysis.’
*Jon Samuel, Head of Social Performance, Anglo American*
‘The list of authors reads like a who’s who in SIA. Academics and
practitioners are equally represented among the authors. The book
provides a good mix of broad theoretical concepts and specific
practical topics.’
*Martin Haefele, Manager, Environmental Impact Assessment at
Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board, Yellowknife,
Northwest Territories, Canada*
‘This book gives a very broad overview of where Social Impact
Assessment is coming from, where it is now and where it could go:
from an impact assessment tool to an impact management tool. It
provides a realistic insight in both the achievements and the
struggles of Social Impact Assessment. A recommended read for both
those interested in Social Impact Assessment and those in related
domains where social issues are gaining increasing importance, such
as Environmental Assessment and Sustainability Appraisal.’
*Rob Verheem, Deputy Director, Netherlands Commission for
Environmental Assessment*
