Abstract :

 Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is an important legislative and scientific tool that may assist and improve the quality assistance for the decision–making process in sustainable development. Here, a comparison of EIAs from three cases of coastal thermal power project,The key reason for this shortcoming is misconceptions about the EIA process, which initially receives intense attention but becomes weakened by the time of implementation. This implies that there is a need to adopt simplified and flexible EIA techniques suitable for the infrastructure and resources of a specific country, taking into account institutional, technical and financial constraints. Improvements are required in public participation, awareness, as well as in environmental control and data system sectors, besides simply enacting legislation to achieve the goals of the EIA system.
