Project Cycle

This paper examines the potential interrelationships between the environmental impact assessment (EIA) and environmental management systems (EMS) process. It begins by looking at the project cycle and the role of EIA in the planning and design phase. The links between the initial environmental review phase of environmental management systems and the EIA report recommendations is examined and it is noted that the format of EIA reports does not readily assist the development of an EMS. The paper finds that the recommendations from an EIA could be structured and summarised to make them more accessible and that certifying the EMS could become a means of ensuring their implementation.

Conceptual Frameworks

The integration of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Systems (EMS) has been approached several times in recent years. This article reviews existing conceptual frameworks and specific issues regarding the EIA-EMS integration, and recommends a new conceptual framework which is based on an alternating sequence of EMS and EIA. It also proposes adaptations in key documents of both processes. The recommendations are adaptable to the varied practice of EIA across the globe, and conform to the ISO14001-compliant EMS protocol.

Policy And Planning

Indigenous peoples’ participation in public policy and planning is ascribed in numerous international and national legal instruments as essential to the realisation of their self-determination. This study examines how the Akwé: Kon guidelines (AK) can promote effective indigenous peoples participation in environmental management, especially during environmental impact assessment (EIA). Special focus is drawn on the Finnish context, home of the Sámi indigenous people. The study applies an effectiveness review package by Lee and Colley (1999), supplemented by interview and questionnaire surveys, to analyse how effective the AK have been. It was found that although they were useful in promoting further interaction of the Sámi with authorities, the AK did not address their most fundamental political and legal grievances. This leaves room for EIA policy and practice, in Finland and all other jurisdictions with indigenous peoples, to consider how they can more effectively harness the potentialities in AK.

The problems were analyzed about the environmental impact in the construction projects of water conservancy in China. Some relevant data and relevant guidelines were combined with the actual work which were referred to several environmental impact assessment reports. An index system was proposed about environmental impact assessment of ecological improvement project in Xishui River.
