D The concept of SIA was introduced in 1969, under U.S.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and is
required to analyze the effect of legislation on the “human
environment.” The field of SIA emerged during the 1970s,
primarily as a response to new environmental legislation.
D Slowly, a range of SIA methods and processes developed,
from ‘technical’ to ‘political’ approaches, short-term to long-
term studies, and from formal to informal studies. The World
Bank incorporated SIA in their Project Evaluation procedures
in 1986.

D In India, the EIA and SIA processes gained importance after
the tragic Bhopal disaster with objective to avoid any form of
social risk. SIA can prove to be extremely useful tool. One of
the many benefits of SIA is that “it seeks to help individuals,
groups, organizations and communities to understand
possible social, cultural, or economic impacts, or better-still
impacts of proposed change’. (Barrow, 2000)
D Today in India, most of the SIA report focuses their study on
land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation.

Q Displaced person or DPs are those who are forced to move
out of their land when development project requires land.
Q Project affected person or PAPs are those who lose their
livelihood and or assets fully or partially without being
displaced.
Q Indirect DPs/PAPs the project becomes operational for
example coal based thermal power plant emits ash that
destroys land and causes health hazard, so do cement plant.
Mines cause dust pollution that affect people’s health and
forces them to vacate the original area.
