NEW DIRECTIONS IN SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ADVANCES

Book ID/图书代码： 04289513B66619

English Summary/英文概要： Building on its predecessor, The International Handbook of Social Impact Assessment, this important new book outlines current developments in thinking in the field of Social Impact Assessment (SIA). It introduces and advances the theory and practice of SIA, and illustrates that a generational shift in the way socioeconomic studies and community participation is undertaken is required. The expert contributors - leading SIA practitioners - make recommendations for future improvement, taking an integrated approach to impact assessment and focusing on the goals of development rather than on ’protection from harm’. The book emphasizes that the focus of SIA should shift towards managing social issues associated with planned interventions; taking a holistic and integrated approach to impact assessment; and stressing that greater attention needs to be given to ensuring that the goals of development are attained and enhanced. It shows that in this current understanding, SIA is now much more than the act of predicting impacts in a regulatory context - it is the process of managing the social aspects of development. This significant addition to the literature will prove an invaluable reference tool for academics, researchers and students, as well as consultants and practitioners, with an interest in SIA.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 社会影响评价需要研究比社区更大的范围。过去它集中于关注社区和项目，并有清晰的地理界定，现在应该有更大范围的关注。项目和社区范围对社会影响评价来说不总是合适的。在大型开发背景下，社会影响评价必须超越“飞地”式的研究方法。必须注意投资可能是以区域整合的方式进行的。在过去，资源开发类公司受到中央政府的热情欢迎，但可能遇到当地的抵制。或当地的关系非常好，但政府又想在“下金蛋的鹅身上拔毛”，使地方社区遭受损失。

总之，在多数资源开发地区，至今流行的社会影响评价已经陈旧，需要改弦更张。

本书通过Frank Vanclay和Ana Maria Esteves睿智地编辑，许多文章提供了思想丰富的分析和改进的意见。目前，已是转变社会经济研究方式，以及在资源开发决策过程中实施社区参与的时候了。

本书是在全球“信息时代”，对思考社会经济规划的巨大的贡献，这个时代，当地社区比过去任何时候，都更有力量担当国家发展的真正决策者。(DB)

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
