| All major developing projects are legally required to undergo an'environmental screening' and - if major environmental effects areconsidered likely - an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). An EIA requires insights into a wide spectrum of methodologies and procedures, as well as a range of professional qualifications. The problems and pitfalls of EIA will be discussed. The course is mainly focussing on EIA in developing countries. In combination with the professional knowledge from their individual subjects, the students should be able to contribute to design and implement EIAs in developing countries.Specification of content:· The aims of EIA· EIA in the context of Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment, Social Impact Assessment etc.· Guidelines and administrative procedures· Public involvement· The EIA-process (initial work, screening, scoping, assessing, mitigation and impact management, reporting, reviewing, decision making, monitoring/implementing/auditing)· Methodology: Checklists, matrices, models, expert systems, networks etc.· EIA-management (incl. economic valuation)The course components will be integrated in case studiesThis is an IT-supported course.
