Introducing what Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is and its importance. The limitation of the original EIA report of the Three Gorges Project (TGP). What are the possible ways forwards for the original EIA report of TGP in respect to geospatial technology, especially in population displacement. The importance of discussing the population displacement.
The process of EIA. Comparing with the developed countries, developing countries may exhibit several problems and difficulties in the EIA process.
Introducing what the remote sensing and GIS are. How applying these technologies can benefit and advantage the EIA process.
Difficulties and problems of the EIA process in TGP in China. Introducing the population displacement in the three gorges reservoir area and the reasons of additional displacements that the original EIA report didn’t predict.
Focusing on a specific hazard or problem that leads to additional displacements, such as landslides, seismic hazards, or cropland changes. Discussing how geospatial data can benefit our understanding and maybe improvements of one of the difficulties above.
The benefits of applying those technologies into the EIA process.
