| Summary |
C. J. Barrow's introduction to Social Impact Assessment (SIA) examines the practical and theoretical approaches, methods, and techniques used to uncover the social effects of change. Presenting a clear synthesis of literature scattered across a range of sources, the book considers how SIA may be successfully integrated with other fields of impact assessment, as well as examining its relationship with planning and policy making. An evaluation is made of the future challenges facing SIA, and the book also provides coverage of SIA in practice within different social contexts.[publisher] |
