| The International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) is offering a free webinar on 'Understanding Impacts on Vulnerable Populations through Psycho-Social Impact Assessment.' The webinar will be presented by IAIA member Michael Edelstein on 19 July.
Psycho-Social Impact Assessment (PSIA) is historically underutilized. Its absence partially explains why affected publics so often feel that their issues are not addressed in the EIA process. Valid assessment and appropriate testimony are required for weight to be given the issue when decisions are made.
This webinar addresses how people are victimized by adverse environmental change. It is intended for a wide audience. Methods reflect approaches shared by most social sciences and within reach of citizen scientists. The topic has importance for professionals from all fields involved with EIA, including lawyers, jurists and government officials. |
