Handbook of Social Impact Assessment and Management

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

‘To genuinely undertake a project-level SIA in today's complex world, you need this Handbook. The emphasis is on “real life” SIA – recognising uncertainty, building adaptive mitigation, accepting that projects are political, delving into the psychological (trauma-informed impact assessment!), acknowledging corruption and integrity matters. The book marks the maturity of “Social” as a professional practice.’
