2012 Congress on Cultural-Social Impact Assessment
Developing countries particularly in Asia and Middle East with the presence of giant and multinational companies and firms in oil,gas and petrochemical,conversion industries,tourism industry etc. have taken steps toward a great economic development in recent decades that has left vast impacts on the local culture and communities and consequently will lead to several social responsibilities.
Thus,we are facing a confrontation between industrial and economic development on one hand,and culture and social environment on the other hand. Any operation for development will bring some changes into natural or social environment and sometimes these changes might be diminishing or destructive to a local culture. Therefore,assessment of social-cultural impacts brought about by development projects will lead us to better solutions to mitigate and reduce the negative consequences.
Since its establishment in 2000,Andishe and Qalam Institute has accomplished many social-cultural study projects in Iran and intends to hold an international congress to assess the impacts of economic and industrial developments on local culture and communities and its consequences in developing countries,especially Iran.
Congress Objectives:
· To find and suggest paradigms,models and different stages of implementing social studies to accomplish the social impact assessment
