Social Impacts general In the light of OP 4.12, a social impact associated with property acquisition is defined as any direct loss, whether social or economic, which arises out of the expropriation of a real property or the permanent restriction in the manner of using or access to the real property. The social impacts caused by the Investment Project, and thus by the land acquisition which often leads to resettlement, may be classified into the following categories:
1) Impact related to the effects of the Investment: a/ direct impacts, b/ indirect impacts,
2) Impact related to the severity of the implemented Investment: a/ significant impacts, b/ minor impacts,
1. According to §3 of the World Bank's Operational Policy OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement, the said Policy covers only direct impacts which are caused by the involuntary taking of land or the involuntary restriction of access to parks and protected areas, resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihood of the project affected persons. ‘Direct social impact’ means any consequence immediately related to the taking of a parcel of land or to restrictions in the use of legally designated parks or protected areas, during the Investment Project financed or co-financed by the World Bank. People directly affected by land acquisition may lose their home, farmland, property, business, or other means of livelihood; a reduction in living standard is also possible. In other words, they lose their ownership, control over the real property and the rights of use.2 OP 4.12 does not apply to long-term indirect impacts caused by the Investment Project, for example on customer loyalty (for people running a business), differences in local tastes, or other forms of intangible cost caused by the Investment Project.3

Social Impacts. The tentative conclusion reached – given the important caveat that it is too early to prove social outcomes – is that DiDIY has potential for diverse and widespread social impact. In particular, that it has potential for impacts across a very broad range of targets. The deliverable considers indications of the role that DiDIY can play in: • fostering creativity, creative agency and creative opportunities to engage with technology; • supporting the sharing of knowledge and skills and providing access to knowledge networks; • fostering community engagement and social inclusion; • promoting entrepreneurship and new business start-ups; • promoting well-being and personal satisfaction; • providing a pathway towards a positive environmental agenda such as circular economy and resilience. This covers a vast impact canvas, stretching from social and economic to environmental agendas. In many cases elements of these different agendas are integrated within initiatives and projects, such as makerspaces and online platforms. DiDIY appears to potentially integrate and deliver, on a human scale and local level, possible routes to counteracting several key frontiers of dissatisfaction with modern life. Dissatisfaction with consumer culture or with globalization resulting in under-employment, with a lack of creative engagement and agency with technology, with an assessment and test-driven education system, or with material wastefulness and environmental issues are all potential targets of the broader DiDIY agenda represented here. Whilst the range of targets for change is very wide, one key element that the case studies in this research share is a belief in, and commitment to, the value of a process of creative problem solving through making.
