Abstract
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a planning and decision-making tool utilized to assess the potential effects of construction projects on the environment. Environmental aspects are categorized into nine domains, one of which is local issues. This category encompasses noise, vibration, dust, odor, visual appearance impacts, etc. Risks of construction activities on human health, wildlife habitats, and the environment can be reduced by the early identification of the environmental issues, their sources, and receptors, along with the implementation of mitigation measures. This paper seeks to evaluate the current theories and practices employed in assessing local issues within construction projects, considering the main aspects of local impact assessment. Standardized protocols for comprehensively analyzing local issues in construction projects are lacking, while research works focus on developing sophisticated management strategies and simulation techniques to predict and mitigate local issues. Therefore, there is a need for practical and user-friendly impact simulation tools that allow full environmental assessments, such as four-dimensional Building Information Modeling (4D BIM) platforms and techniques.
