Abstract
In 2006 the RWE energy company from Europe initiated a plan to build a coal power plant in the Eemshaven. Social impact assessment (SIA) could have provided a better alternative process than the process that was used. SIA is in general relevant for project interventions from a normative and a business perspective, because of (1) preventing risks in conflict-sensitive interventions and additional risks; (2) sustainable development and community empowerment which underpins the various principles and guidelines from Social impact assessment and the main definition of social sustainability. To conclude, this thesis explains the relevancy of social impact assessment in the RWE case which gives a better understanding of the Dutch regulated Environmental impact assessment (EIA) process and project approval in the Netherlands. Social impact assessment provide new insights on handling in conflict-sensitive projects. Its relevancy and importance of SIA is explained in connection with the RWE case.
