Other examples from the EIAs are mentions of a historic ideal society built to support mining, an ambition to support a local business network, and that mining can impact Sami communities. In general, social networks, such as civil society, along with family, friends, and neighbors, appear absent from EIA assessments and mining policy and guidance.

A mining project can impact positively the education, health, jobs, social infrastructure and other elements of a community's life. By evaluating the social impacts of a project, governments and mining companies can ensure the project benefits local communities in particular and the whole country in general.
4 Social Impact Assessment in The Mining Industry: Current Situation and Future Directions 2 Impact Assessment as a Political Process Perhaps the single most important point of departure in considering how SIA may contribute in the future is to understand the extent to which both SIA and EIA feed into,
underground mining (room pillar, long wall, drift, shaft, slope mining) are some types of coal mining. Proper Environment impact assessment of coal mining is very important and here we take some issues which should be considered and some mitigation measures are discussed. 2. Environment and Social issues related to coal mining
