WSP Ecology, Landscape, EIA, Planning and Permitting, and Social Acceptability SOQ

SOCIAL ACCEPTABILITY Communities and interest groups respond most positively to projects if they have opportunities to be involved in decisions on routing and other issues that may affect their families and communities. We help clients to position and optimize their projects with a view to maximizing acceptance from the populations that are affected either directly or indirectly. A project’s social acceptability hinges on multi-sector studies and opinion or perception surveys, as well as on consistent communications with stakeholders. These processes make it possible not only to implement projects with higher levels of social acceptance, but also to adapt them more effectively to the local context. In addition, our strategic planning team helps clients to design and implement long-term strategic and economic planning objectives, including sustainable development planning by conducting studies which include:

z Air Quality / GHG Assessments z Archaeologists / Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage z Best Available Techniques Assessment (BAT) z Compliance and Regulatory Tracking z Construction and Environmental Management Plans (CEMP) z Geographical Information Systems (GIS) z Health Impact Assessment z Health, Safety and Security z Hydrogeology and Hydrology z Land Quality and Impact z Land Use Planning and Urban Design z Noise and Vibration Assessment and Mitigation
