Abstract: This paper is based on a recent study that evaluated social externalities and examined how quality of life has been influenced by coal seam gas (CSG) projects in Southeast Queensland, Australia. CSG projects, also known as unconventional gas pose spatially extensive impacts on rural communities and tend to overlap other land uses, such as agriculture. This paper identifies key themes for evaluating social externalities of major resource projects using mixed-methods approach and structural equation modeling, and provides empirical evidence to support the multi-scale methodological framework for integrated valuation of ecosystem services.
