Abstract

Despite the importance of community cohesion to social impact assessment, evaluation remains problematic. This paper makes known a new descriptive method for assessing changes to community cohesion via network analysis. Selected results from a test application for the proposed Glengowan Dam and Reservoir indicated that community cohesion would be adversely affected.
