Chapter 106 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment, 2026, pp 394-397 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Local communities are directly impacted by business operations across the product life cycle, facing challenges such as job creation or displacement, resource shortages, and environmental degradation. This entry examines these social, economic, and environmental effects, with particular focus on infrastructure strain, pollution, and access to essential resources. Data collection methods like surveys, interviews, and secondary data are critical for evaluating these impacts, ensuring comprehensive assessments. Additionally, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives can further mitigate negative effects, promoting sustainable development and fostering community engagement.
