“…In this respect the research was not a predictive analysis typical of many SIAs but an inductive, reflective analysis interested in the impacts and effectiveness of particular initiatives or sets of initiatives. Here we agree with Sairinen et al (2021), that research which investigates and reflects on SIA processes and methods can make an important contribution to SIA practice.…”

In this paper we reflect on the interlinkages between social impact assessment and evaluation and, in particular, realist evaluation. To examine the connections between these fields of practice we draw on recent research in the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, in which we linked social impact assessment and elements of realist evaluation in the study of rural and small-town regeneration. We use the research to identify a number of connections and to make suggestions regarding greater convergence of methods in social impact assessment and evaluation. We conclude by urging social impact assessment practitioners to use mixed methods, with a stronger emphasis on qualitative approaches, and especially to work with communities in an iterative way towards a conceptual basis for assessing and managing change and enhancing social wellbeing.

“…So far, although various basic theoretical research results have laid a good foundation for the consciousness of the Chinese nation, there is still a large research gap, and there are still many new theoretical research contents that need to be supplemented [15]. The progress of scientific research can promote the research and development of ethnic minorities in various disciplines [16]. Therefore, this study will pay more attention to the theoretical system and practical application value of the construction of the Chinese nation's community, put forward operational strategies and measures to better protect the Chinese nation's civilization and the cohesion of the Chinese nation, and provide the necessary measures for the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.…”

The formation of a multi-ethnic community is the need of the times for ethnic relations. Its construction must first establish a homogeneous space that can support interethnic coexistence, including national public living space and national public cultural space, and, on this basis, form a heterogeneous space that is compatible with the existence of national individuality, so as to appreciate in national understanding. The expression, communication, and broad recognition of national individuality determine its important position in the construction of national community. In the process of building the Chinese nation community, the main purpose is to strengthen the Chinese cultural identity, build a spiritual home shared by all ethnic groups, and consolidate the community consciousness of the Chinese nation. Based on this, this paper mainly studies the engineering application based on data mining algorithm and data mining algorithm in the construction of multi-ethnic community. By summarizing the experience in the process of the construction of the Chinese nation community, some solutions are put forward to the problems in the construction of the national community and strive to focus the value orientation of all members of the nation on the identification of the common values of the Chinese nation.

“…This cluster is closer to the analysis of contextual or territorialised governance; it involves awareness of the conditioning effects of the socio-political context on the company, which seeks instruments for fitting the mining enterprise to contextual demands in order to find solutions for the management of both social and environmental risks (Glückler et al, 2019). Studies such as those by Sauer & Hiete (2020), with multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSI), or Boutilier (2020), Cheshire (2010), Cheshire et al (2014), Sairinen et al (2021) show that non-governmental actors (communities and the third sector, mainly) and instruments such as the SLO (social licence to operate) are gaining increasing importance in this network of influences (Lesser et al, 2020;Prno and Scott Slocombe, 2012). The play of influences amongst actors, in relation to environmental problems, brings this cluster close to the notion of polycentric governance (T. H. Morrison et al, 2019), in which we see a global environmental governance that is aware that not all actors have the same decision-making power.…”
