Case Study: Large-Scale Mining Development Company achieves targeted EIA insights and timely community consultation analysis with Darzin Software

Community Consultation in Impact Assessments

Large Scale Mining Development Company needed an Environmental Impact Assessment for a large-scale mining application in a remote area of the Pacific Islands. The EIA required a comprehensive community consultation across more than 30 communities along the proposed mine and transport routes, generating hundreds of comments. To manage and analyze this volume of feedback the company used Darzin Software.

Darzin Software was configured with a classification tree of themes and sub-themes to tag and drill down into every community comment, enabling environmental and social specialists to understand local resource use, priorities and concerns. Regular Darzin-generated reports turned hundreds of comments from 30+ communities into timely, actionable insight that reshaped study boundaries and baseline work, allowed adjustments to scope and schedule, and helped identify potential support and risks for strategic stakeholder decisions.
