title: Earthquakes above the Groningen gasfield
creator: Mollema, M
description: The subject of this thesis is how did the discourse about the earthquakes in Groningen could develop to its current situation of mistrust and frustration between the Nederlandse aardolie maatschappij (National oil company) NAM and the local inhabitants? Can it still be changed and what kind of role can social impact assessment play in this? The bases of this paper are four interviews with stakeholders from every side of the discourse, a RUG expert, the NAM spokesperson, the Groninger Bodem Beweging (Local action committee) GBB board member and two local inhabitants. Social impact assessment, as described by Slootweg et al.(2001), is used as a theoretical framework to assess impacts experienced by the local community and what institutional changes can be made to deal with these issues.
