Social Assessment
of Protected Areas: Early Experience and Results of
a Participatory, Rapid Approach by Phil Franks, Dilys Roe, Rob Small, Helen Schneider. November 2014.
Assessing the positive and negative social impacts of
protected areas is no easy task, but it can be done with
relatively simple, low cost methodologies. Designed for
this purpose, the Social Assessment of Protected Areas
(SAPA) methodology can be applied to any protected
area (PA), regardless of its management category
and governance type, and to related conservation and
development activities that are designed to support PA
conservation. At the heart of the SAPA methodology is
a multi-stakeholder process that enhances accuracy and
credibility, and ensures that the assessment addresses
the information needs not only of PA managers, but
also of other key actors in government, civil society and
the private sector. This working paper describes both
the development of the SAPA methodology (work in
progress), and some preliminary results that illustrate
the type of information generated and the strengths and
weaknesses of the methodology.
