“…These findings reflected SIA literature that demonstrates the influence of anticipatory impacts and individuals' early responses on social impacts (Walker 2000, Ross and McGee 2006, Franks et al 2010a, 2010b. These findings were important in the context of CEAM because individuals' responses led to additional positive and negative social impacts, felt either by the individual or by others, while influencing the outcomes of the policy changes and the nature of the receiving environment.…”

Social impacts resulting from policy changes and other interventions interact and aggregate, and are influenced by additional interventions and exogenous factors, leading to cumulative social impacts. We explored these complex impacts through a case study of forest policy changes introduced in the state of Western Australia between 1999 and 2004. In this process, we both drew on and modified the recently-proposed Cumulative Effects Assessment and Management (CEAM) framework, to improve its utility as an analytical tool for exploring cumulative social impacts that arise from policy changes in natural resource sectors. Our findings highlight the complexity of the pathways that lead to social impacts and the significant influence of individuals' responses. The findings also demonstrate the importance of considering cumulative impactsnegative and positive, and intended and unintended -when designing and implementing mitigation strategies, emphasizing the value of adaptive management approaches. Our results suggest that the CEAM framework, appropriately contextualized and adapted, is relevant to the assessment of social impacts associated with interventions in complex natural resource management cases, and probably more widely.

“…Its specific relevance to social impact assessment has been addressed elsewhere (Walker et al, 2000). In this article, we place emphasis on the role of livelihood strategies in effectively defining and 'weighing' the positive, negative and neutral importance of those impacts, relative to how they are perceived by local communities.…”

“…Our interest in livelihood strategies has emerged in response to the shortcomings we have identified in social impact processes regarding proposed tourism development in Molas, Indonesia as a result of lack of attention to: examination of impacts and their effects during project anticipation, that is, during the planning/policy development stage; and basic livelihood characteristics, processes and strategies during the formal process of social impact assessment in Indonesia (Walker et al, 2000).…”

“…To allow for the human perspective, some researchers have called for strategic impact assessment, social impact assessment and health impact assessment to be carried out alongside EIAs. Each type of assessment can separately and systematically consider the consequences of the development projects and the activities of public and private organisations on defined small island communities (Barrow, 2000;Walker et al, 2000;Douglas, 2003;. Thus, there is a need for EIA assessments approaches to be adapted in small island country application to allow wider sustainable development objectives to be considered in strategic policy and the existing and future health status of the population.…”

“…Social impacts are the consequences to a population of any project that alter how people live, work, play, relate to one another and organise to meet their needs. Few SIA have been carried out in small islands (Walker et al, 2000;Gilder, 1995). The main aim of this research was therefore to evaluate the state of environmental and sustainability impact assessment practices in two Portuguese small islands, Azores and Madeira.…”

This paper compares Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) practices and effectiveness in the Portuguese islands of the Azores and Madeira. This was accomplished by qualitative appraisal and evaluation of the contents of EIA statements and the characterisation of the EIA practices. Data was collected from the islands' regional environmental agencies and from the Environmental Portuguese Agency internet database. The findings reveal that most EIA project practitioners and consultants in the islands are associated with the regional government agencies. Proposals were generally approved with 'conditions' and the diversity of project types were lower in the islands than in the mainland. There was limited follow-up on the EIA process so that evaluation of conditions compliance was scanty. Key areas identified for consideration in the development of good impact assessment practice in the islands included, the Islands' unique geographical and ecological characteristics, scale effects, intra-insular regional dimension, impact significance evaluation approaches, and training, education and development skills in EIA processes.
