SCENARIO


SCENARIO 

Now that you have watched the video about Forest City, think about the way that Country Garden Ltd, the developer, handled its interactions with community stakeholders, particularly the fishing villages up the coast from the site of the project. It tried to avoid preparing an EIA and a SIA, only to receive a mandate from the national government requiring the preparation of an EIA (in response to complaints from Singapore).

By the time Country Garden produced its Environmental Assessment, it had invested a substantial amount of money in its original conception of the project. When the EIA was completed, Country Garden had to modify the project design, compensate nearby communities, and make environmental “repairs.” This suggests that attempting to avoid preparing an EIA might end up costing more in the long run than it “saves” in the short run.

Describe (1) the reasons that a developer might want to skip preparing an EIA and an SIA; (2) the costs or effects of not preparing an EIA or SIA, and (3) the problems likely to arise if an EIA or SIA is required after a project has begun. Please draw upon the readings, especially the Dealing with an Angry Public section when you answer these questions, particularly question three.


Learning goals:  

EIA and SIA should not be seen as a burdensome requirement for developers but rather as an opportunity to initiate a process of trust building and relationship building with communities who will be real estate development partners. Both tools can also be used as a basis for structuring contingent agreements that can help to manage uncertainty. Trying to get around the use of these tools, even if they are not required by law, may end up being costlier than using them properly in the first place. 


Responses to the Module 4 assignment should:

1. Explain why developers  think it is to their advantage to skip preparing and EIA or an SIA;

2. Describe the short term and long term costs (including intangible costs) associated with incorrectly using EIA and SIA; 

3. Discuss the difficulties involved in having to produce an EIA or SIA after a project has begun;

4. Describe the role of and approaches to dealing with an angry public.
