The construction of the widningog nh 04 at a kini to kognoli from 2010 to 2023 had the potential to have significant positive social impacts on local communities. The evaluation procedure and project results are covered in this essay. In contrast to what has happened elsewhere, the local communities' quality of life improved during the project's lifespan. The social goal of minimising community disturbance was achieved in part through understanding the local context, early and continuous public consultation, scoping of concerns, resolving uncertainties, the creation of flexible management systems, and impact follow-up.
Keywords: social impact assessment; impact management; public involvement; scoping; follow-up; widnig of road; construction impacts Introduction Change is a need for all living things and a natural rule. Society needs to change the same way. the development that was predetermined. Therefore, development covers a variety of outcomes, both good and bad. In addition, individuals frequently have to leave their houses as a result of construction projects, and occasionally they may relocate their places of business as well. These actions may need the rehabilitation and relocation of the individuals, which presents additional difficulties. Because of this, it has always been important to comprehend how development initiatives negatively affect the environment in order to reduce these effects. At first, we were worried about the effects on the environment, but subsequently, the requirement to evaluate the social impact of each project gave rise to the idea of social impact assessment. The Social Impact Assessment is defined by Vivek Misra as follows: "Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is based on the idea that development interventions have social ramifications, and it is crucial that decision-makers are aware of these consequences before acting, as well as that those who will be impacted have the chance to be involved in creating their own future. Social evaluation aids in adapting the project to issues with social development. Social assessment-based development projects reduce poverty, promote inclusion, and foster ownership while reducing and offsetting negative social effects on the weak and the poor. [1] Vanclay provides yet another definition that improves our comprehension of the idea. "Social Impact Assessment is a process of analysing, monitoring and managing the intended and unintended social consequences, both positive and negative, of planned intervention (policies, plans, programmes, projects) and any social change processes invoked by these interventions," he claims. Its main objective is to create a more just and sustainable biophysical and human environment. (Vanclay: 2003) [2] It clarifies that social impact assessments examine and oversee the social repercussions of development initiatives. The promotion of these initiatives' sustainability is the goal of SIA. Therefore, the goal of SIA is to assess the effects of any suggested development plan before to implementation in order to minimise adverse effects and improve positive ones
AREA OF STUDY There is a proposal of road widening of NH 04 from Kini to Kognoli. This 66 km long highway connects via pethwadgon, shiroli, kolhapur, gokul-shirgon. This national highway is going to be six lane. The Central Works Division, Kolhapur is responsible for the designing and bidding of the NH 04 project. The central Works Division is a joint wing of the State PWD1 and NHAI2 headed by a Superintending Engineer (S.E.).The road needs to be widened because there has the incresing trafic volume.Two toll plazas will be set up near kini villag and kognoli village. This project will have positive and negative impacts, so it is important to assess the social impacts before the implementation of the project. In the present © 2023, IRJET
