Social Assessment provides a process for research, planning and management of change arising from the design and implementation of projects, programmes and policies. The process is used internationally as an integral component of environmental assessment and decision making, and is a key component in sustainability assessment. Strategic application of social assessment assists development of programmes and policies and the management of social change.

This text, now revised and updated in a third edition, describes social assessment theory and practice. The approach has been developed and applied through extensive international practice and training courses held by the authors.

The contents will be of value to students and practitioners, including staff of community-based and non-government organisations, local, regional, state and central government, consulting firms and universities. Readers will have interests and responsibilities in determining social implications of projects, from local projects to large infrastructure developments, and also the social implications of public policy.

The Guide is a tool for practitioners at all levels to complete social impact assessments (SIAs) efficiently and effectively. It provides a step-by-step process easily followed by persons with minimal social science training. The Guide is organized in three sections. Chapters 1-6 provide the background, a short history, the conceptual model, the SIA scoping process and an explanation as to how to obtain data to measure SIA variables. Chapters 7-11 correspond to five categories of SIA variables: population change, community and institutional arrangements, communities in transition, individual and family impacts and community infrastructure needs. Chapters 12-13 provide worksheets for summarising the results of the analysis and using the data in SIA monitoring, mitigation and enhancement.
