Environmental impact Assessment of the development and Construction of the steel project with the rapid assessment matrix method (case study: Joveyn Sabzevar steel project)
Journal Title: Arid Regions Geographic Studies - Year 2024, Vol 15, Issue 56
Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the positive and negative effects of the implementation of the steel project in joveyn city on the environment around it using the rapid impact assessment matrix of RIAM, and it has been done by separating the project and its environment into constituent factors.Material & Method: The present research is analytical and applied in terms of method (quantitative and qualitative) and type, respectively. The environmental impact assessment method is suitable for achieving sustainable development goals. In this study, the important effects related to the construction of Joveyn Sabzevar steel plant were investigated using the RIAM matrix method in order to analyze the effects due the construction  of the unit in the construction and operation phase.Finding: The findings show that the effect of project activities on physical and chemical factors, in the final summation in the physical and chemical environments related to soil erosion and sound effects (insignificant negative effects and changes), ground shaking, drainage, air quality and climate changes (significant negative effects) and in biological-ecological environments, it is related to the change of agricultural and garden land use (insignificant negative effect) and the effect on vegetation changes (significant negative effects). Cultural, social, economic, and technical environments showed positive effects and changes.Conclusion: The results of this research showed that the construction project of the Jovin Sabzevar steel plant has 18 negative effects and changes and 10 positive effects and changes on different environments. Also, according to the results, compliance with environmental requirements should be considered.Innovation: application of the results: evaluation and implementation of the steel project with the matrix method can determine the possibility or impossibility of implementing the project with less cost and time.
