“…Selon Burdge (1990) l'évaluation des impacts sociaux n'est pas uniquement un processus de prédiction des impacts, mais un processus de mesure du changement qui s'inscrit dans un continuum temporel qui déborde le cadre l'EIE à proprement parler.…”

Social impact assessment (SIA) has not been widely adopted as a component of the assessment process for project or policy appraisal. This paper focuses on four issues: how we are labeling research on social impacts; what historical events led to the separation of SIA from the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process; whether the Guidelines and Principles for Social Impact Assessment helped focus the r esearch and practice of SIA; and whether there is evidence that we are accumulating a body of knowledge labeled social impact assessment. To become institutionalized EIA-SIA must be a statutory requirement, otherwise agencies and consulting firms that do EIA will not include social impacts. The requirement must extend to international bilateral aid, donor and lending agencies.Keywords: social impact assessment; social assessment; public involvement Rabel J Burdge is a Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies,
