Currently, there is an increasing demand for more e cient and practical environmental impact assessment (EIA) tools due to the emerging climate change challenges and need to better evaluate and control impacts of industrial technologies and activities. However, due to the inherent uncertainties, vagueness's of assessment data, traditional EIA methods are unable to handle e ciently and properly ...

There is a strong mutuality between tourism and environment via the creation of feedback mechanisms, since tourism often places adverse effects upon the quality and quantity of natural and cultural resources of the destination, leading to its qualitative and quantitative degradation. Within theEnvironmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) studies, various methods have been proposed to assess and analy...

infrastructure development often leads to considerable changes in the land use. these changes are major causes of habitat fragmentation and ecosystem loss. moreover, decrease of the environmental impacts on biodiversity is among the most important objectives of sustainable development. for this purpose, environmental impact assessment (eia) along with the other appropriate tools can be applied ...

HE HISTORY OF environmental impact assessment (EIA) follow-up is nearly as long as the practice of EIA itself. A large body of work produced in the 1980s was devoted to the topic and this set the scene concerning aims, approaches and techniques for EIA follow-up. A recent upsurge of interest in EIA follow-up has seen it become the topic for a series of workshops at the International Association...

Developing country environmental impact assessment (EIA) dates back to the mid-1970s and, although it varies significantly from country to country, its performance generally falls far behind that of EIA in developed countries. It is crucial that this performance be improved in order to help to protect the environment of three quarters of the world’s land area. This paper reviews developing coun...

Abstract: Sustainability is increasingly considered an essential business function, but in Libya, petroleum companies are slow to address operational issues that could reduce environmental concerns. This study aims to evaluate the environmental impacts of upstream petroleum operations. The methods adopted in the study are a literature review, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) study and q...

Previous studies have found the assessment of socio-economic impacts in EIA to be of poor quality and literature cites various reasons for this. However, socio-economic impacts can result from many types of development project and they are often interlinked with biophysical impacts making their proper assessment important. The barriers and constraints to their assessment are analysed, through a...

this paper discusses the integration of biodiversity concerns with environmental impact assessment (eia) procedures of iran. indeed, it compares and analyses this status in six south asian countries. the analysis was based on the reports available from a number of eia report references to biodiversity, and biodiversity related issues, level and compositional, structure or functional component o...
