This course consists of 3 modules covering the GSAS Socio-Cultural Dimensions category and its criteria. Impacts resulting from the non-protection of archeological remains or heritage sites, and ineffective control and design of the Socio-Cultural Interactions include, loss of cultural heritage, loss of society wellbeing, missed opportunities to build mutual trust between society and the needs of construction practices. Factors that could mitigate the impact include, identifying archeological sites to prevent damage by excavation, identifying heritage items or relics for protection against site activities and implementing an effective control and design of Socio-Cultural Interactions.
