Social Impact Assessment (SIA)
What is Social Impact Assessment?
Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is a systematic process to identify, predict, and evaluate the social consequences of proposed projects, programmes, and policies. PTT’s SIA services are conducted by certified consultants registered with the Malaysian Association of Social Impact Assessment (MSIA) and accredited by PLANMalaysia and JAS.
Our SIA process follows internationally recognised frameworks adapted for the Malaysian context, covering urban development, highway infrastructure, government programmes, and community resettlement.
