Social impact assessment (SIA) is an important tool in managing regional development, planning and service delivery. This unit provides a broad overview of SIA and considers both multicultural and urban environments as the setting for SIA. The unit provides students with a set of tools relevant to stakeholders affected by development proposals that assist them to understand and express different views of the implications of an identified change such as a resource project, urban development or policy change. Using case studies, the unit develops conceptual, methodological and practical skills relevant to the government, community and private sectors. -- Course Website
