Using SOCIAT survey
SOCIAT survey tool
Heading
In this session, we explored how to conduct a social impact assessment using a structured survey approach. Specifically, we follow a step-by-step process for applying the SOCIAT survey tool to collect reliable and meaningful data that reflect the social impacts of a conservation project, policy, or initiative.
Main steps in using SOCIAT survey
The SOCIAT Survey follows a clear, five-stage process that guides practitioners through every step of conducting a robust social impact assessment. From defining the survey area and identifying stakeholders to analysing data and presenting findings, each stage is designed to ensure that the assessment is methodologically sound, ethically grounded, and practically useful. This structured approach not only improves the reliability of results but also helps practitioners engage communities, inform policy, and support more socially responsive conservation planning.
