The description of the socioeconomic profile of populations affected by the ‘work’ (industrial project) under evaluation allows the assessment of their eventual socioeconomic fragilities.
The assessment of environmental justice conditions concerns the definition of advantages (positive effects) and disadvantages (negative effects) in socioeconomic terms and for other environmental justice dimensions at the local level regarding the ‘work’ under evaluation.
Such assessments help evaluate the effects of the ‘work’ (industrial project) on factors that can, directly and indirectly, affect the health of the interested local communities.
