This document provides sample questions and explanations related to urban services planning. It includes questions that test understanding of different steps in the environmental impact assessment clearance process, the correct hierarchy of mitigation options to address environmental impacts, matching types of urban services to descriptions of being labor intensive or capital intensive, and identifying indicators used for population forecasting. The document aims to help students learn and practice concepts covered in Module 2 of an urban services planning course.

4. Urban Services Planning – Sample questions – Module 02
PROBLEM 14
Screening: Scrutiny for determining project category (location, nature), need for EIA and the
details of the study.
Scoping :
Boundary, time extents and ToR for the EIA
Potential environmental and health-related impacts
Identification of alternatives(designs or location)
Public consultation: Concerns of the local people or the people affected by the project are determined
for addressing them in the mitigation plan.
Mitigation: Steps to reduce and avoid the likely adverse environmental consequences from the
project
Reporting: EIA report is sent for appraisal
Review of EIA: Adequacy and effectiveness of the report
Decision-making: Final decision on project (rejected, approved or requires modification)
Post monitoring: To ensure impacts are within standards mitigation measures are effective
