Derived from the Environmental Impact Assessment model (EIA), which _irst originated in the 1970s as a way to evaluate the impact of infrastructural projects on communities, SIAs are now used by a number of countries where it is a process used to evaluate the social effects (positive and negative) of a proposed project, policy, or development activity on communities, societies, and individuals. Moreover, it is a systematic method to assess how certain actions can influence people's lives, their social structures, cultural identity, economic well-being, health, and the environment. The primary goal of SIA is to ensure that projects contribute positively to the well-being of people, while minimizing or mitigating any negative consequences that may arise .
