Geographic information systems (GIS) are increasingly being used in environmental impact assessments (EIA) because GIS is useful for analysing spatial impacts of various development scenarios. Spatially representing these impacts provides another tool for landscape ecology in environmental and geographical investigations by facilitating analysis of the effects of landscape pattern on ecological...

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is becoming more prevalent. However, compared to many jurisdictions in developed countries, the Middle East including Iraq, have been relatively late introducing and developing their environmental systems. The Iraqi Protection Improvement of Environment Law 2009 improved EIA procedure established 1997. Nonetheless, current technique has severe drawbacks. pu...

environmental impact assessment (eia) reports of projects in different development sectors in sudan (agriculture, roads and highways, power generation, oil production, river engineering projects) were analyzed to investigate how these studies corresponded with the local, regional, international and good practice requirements. the results of the analysis illustrated some variations in the practi...

Abstract Industrial discharges pose global ecological risks. This study investigates Algeria’s GL1K (gas liquification complex of Skikda) plant’s hazardous effluents. The impact assessment evaluates the environmental repercussions researched facilities, including effects on populations and their way life. Thus, it is possible to stress suggestions improve facility design remove or restrict nega...

Environmental impacts assessment may be some measures to offset the impact to an acceptable level or explore new solutions. The research was conducted with the aim of assessing the socio-economic, cultural, physical and ecological impacts of Kavar irrigation and drainage network in Fars Province (Iran). In this study, Environmental impacts assessment was undertaken by ICOLD matrix. The ICOLD ma...

Environmental offsets are positive mitigation measures implemented during environmental impact assessment (EIA) approvals to compensate for unavoidable negative environmental actions. Through interviews with 29 practitioners experienced with offsets, this study investigated the level of support for environmental offsets in Western Australia, implementation of the mitigation sequence and achieve...

Policies for promoting sustainable development of dam projects in the world have always been an argument due to negative impacts on ecosystems. How improve efficiency identifying and main indicators environmental impact assessment (EIA) process post (PEIA) is a common topic. Since rapid construction past decades, most China turned operation period. In order identify provide scientific bases dec...
