This surge of interest has been accompanied by the introduction of new regulations from national and international authorities (such as the European Commission) that aim to affect the link between development and the environment. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a good example. EIA stands for identifying, forecasting, and assessing the environmental consequences of planned activities. EIA is a decision-making tool. The three main values identified by EIA studies to date are integrity, usefulness, and sustainability. EIA is a technique for assessing the environmental implications of prospective projects or activities, including physical and social elements, and suggesting mitigation measures. It is a tool for assessing the impact of commercial activity, profitable planning, or action on the bio-geophysical environment and human health and well-being, and for interpreting and making the public aware of the same. That is, EIA focuses on numerous challenges, sufferings suffered by the environment in terms of natural resource restriction or human health prone to the impending project. The project's potential to impact individuals, their homes, their livelihoods, or other neighbouring projects is also examined. The best instructions for establishing the project in the suggested environment while synchronising with the least consequences are presented by an EIA after identifying solutions to minimise the concerns. In the past three decades, EIA has come to be seen as a crucial instrument for determining and minimising the viability of a project at a specific location. EIA offers a wider range of applications than other techniques. EIA can serve as a starting point for discussions between planners, public interest organisations, and developers.
Key words: Environmental issues, international agencies, environmental impact assessment, public aware, planning regulators, etc.
Introduction: Highway construction improves mobility and is essential to a community's and a nation's overall economic success. Unfortunately, poorly thought out, engineered, and built motorways can worsen the situations of the underprivileged while also harming the natural and socioeconomic environment. The frequent negative effects of highway expansion include harm to the environment, including loss of habitat and biodiversity, cultural and social disintegration among the communities impacted, the production of noise and vibration, and air and water pollution. Highway infrastructure needs to be constructed and maintained to a high standard in order to reduce any negative environmental and socioeconomic effects. This may be accomplished by including environmental factors into the planning, design, and building of roadway developments. Three essential components make up the procedure: 1.
Identification of the full range of possible impacts on the natural and socio- economic environment
2.
Evaluation and quantification of these impacts.
3.
Formulation of measures to avoid, mitigate and compensate for the anticipateimpacts.
The above process which systematically deals with these elements is called Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
