Abstract: | The inclusion of socioeconomic considerations in the process of industrial location/siting analysis has received limited attention in recent years. More commonly the social and economic impacts associated with the construction and operation of a major project emerge only after a prime site has been selected. This result serves to characteristically delimit advance socioeconomic planning and prevents a full and complete examination of relative cost-benefit alternatives. Impacted communities and the mitigation problems they pose can be insurmountable when addressed after the fact.This article will discuss a strategy for socioeconomic inputs to project siting and outline a model that has been utilized for the purpose of instigating potential socioeconomic impacts at the earliest possible stage within the industrial location siting process. |
