Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is an approach to exploring the social effects of
infrastructure developments and other development interventions. Although SIA is
commonly used as an intervention tool, the same methods should be used to assess
the social impact of unknown events, such as disasters, demographic changes, and
epidemics. Social impact assessments are used to identify and manage the social

achieve effective management.

institutions have defined it in various ways over the years, but the principle remains

projects undertaken to encourage development, such as roads, mills, industries,
mines, ports and airports. It is a vital tool that can help policy makers predict the
likely adverse outcomes of their actions so that essential deterrent measures can be
taken. Social Impact Assessment focuses on decision makers understanding the
