Abstract

A recent research project investigated the potential application of computer‐aided tools as a means of
improving and enhancing public communication of environmental impact assessments (EIAs) of federal
facilities. This article focuses on one aspect of the research project: a survey that asked how environmental
impacts should be measured and in what form the results should be presented in order to improve the
communication process. The responses to the survey supported the importance of selecting appropriate
environmental measures and presenting the results in a way that can easily be understood. The survey also
provided insights on how EIAs could be expanded (e.g., in terms of how impacts should be quantified)
and whether all needed information can be derived (and presented) using interactive computer tools.
