Abstract
This article outlines some concerns raised by a recent meeting of EIA practitioners over the use of computer software designed to assist the process of environmental impact assessment (EIA). Although relevant to developed nations, the concerns identified are most acute in developing countries, where EIA procedures have often been introduced into institutional settings which are poorly resourced and have low adaptive capabilities. The article concludes by offering ways in which those responsible for commissioning, designing and marketing EIA software might improve the utility of their products for developing countries.
