Networks, power and knowledge in the planning system: A case study of energy from waste
2017, Progress in PlanningCitation Excerpt :E1's definition of ‘good health’ was procedural and biophysical. E1 drew on studies that are ‘tight focus’ i.e. largely based on epidemiology and toxicology to make health risk assessments of technological processes (Kemm, 2000). The broader impacts of the MREC facility on the well-being of the local community were from health impacts like noise, vibration and stress.
Who plans for health improvement? SEA, HIA and the separation of spatial planning and health planning
2013, Environmental Impact Assessment ReviewHealth impact assessment research and practice: A place for paradigm positioning?
2012, Environmental Impact Assessment ReviewCitation Excerpt :HIA has attempted to bridge this divide with an explicit discussion of values in the early scoping step which plans the conduct of the HIA. However, these are usually discussed in relation to definition of health (broad or tight) rather than epistemological position (Harris and Spickett, 2011; Kemm, 2000). During 2010 and 2011, we separately undertook reviews of international literature to assess the extent and nature of attention given to paradigm positioning and these related concerns.
Health impact assessment in Australia: A review and directions for progress
2011, Environmental Impact Assessment ReviewCitation Excerpt :‘Policy HIA’ is influenced by the fields of health promotion, health needs assessment and evidence based medicine (Birley, 2002; Mindell and Joffe, 2003; Ahmad, 2004; Kemm and Parry, 2004). The emphasis is on addressing the social determinants of health while promoting collaboration and stakeholder participation in the HIA process (Kemm, 2000; Birley, 2002; Ahmad, 2004; Cole and Fielding, 2007). The focus is largely on HIA as a process to influence ‘healthy public policy’ by improving considerations of health and the determinants of health within the policies being developed by health and other sectors, such as housing and transport (Banken, 2003; Harris et al., 2007a,b; Kemm, 2001; Gagnon et al., 2007; Ståhl et al., 2006; WHO, 2008a,b).

2011, Environmental Impact Assessment ReviewAssessing health impacts in complex eco-epidemiological settings in the humid tropics: The centrality of scoping
2011, Environmental Impact Assessment ReviewCitation Excerpt :In contrast to this long history, impact assessments for large-scale development projects are relatively new (IAIA, 2010). Within the impact assessment suite, health impact assessment (HIA) is the most recent addition dating back to the late 1980s/early 1990s, but is increasingly becoming a routine feature of the project permitting and approval process (Kemm, 2000; Birley, 2003; Mindell and Joffe, 2003). In the developing world, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) has played an important role in this regard through inclusion of community health as a specific performance standard (number 4) (IFC, 2006a,b).
