<br />a variety of specific frames of reference. <br /> <br />Impacts can be <br /> <br />O~~l <br />JJ ,.explored on a step-by-step basis, using the same format for <br /> <br />analysis. <br /> <br />There is one problem which is inherent in an analytic <br /> <br />scheme of this type. <br /> <br />It does produce some redundancy across <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />the different topics being examined since a given phenomenon <br /> <br />can show up at various points. <br /> <br />This cost, however, is considered <br /> <br />acceptable in light of the great deal of information that can <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />be gained from studying impacts from various perspectives. <br /> <br />1.3.10 Development of Across-Area Analysis of Data <br /> <br />Once all 23 modules were completed the direction and <br /> <br />magnitude ratings from each of the 23 sections could be brought <br /> <br />together to examine the collective social impacts as they emerge <br /> <br />under each of the three alternatives. <br /> <br />In this manner the complete <br /> <br />set of ratings can be examined under each of the future alterna- <br /> <br />tives: Without Project, With Narrows Project, and With the <br /> <br />Hardin Project. <br /> <br />This exercise serves two purposes. <br /> <br />First, it <br /> <br />allows for a simplified comparison of the general direction and <br /> <br />magnitude of each of the three conditions in terms of all twenty- <br /> <br />three areas simultaneously. <br /> <br />Second, it gives some idea of <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />whether or not some areas and/or geographic locations are sub- <br /> <br />ject to greater impacts than others. <br /> <br />This analysis appears in <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Section 4.0. <br /> <br />43 <br />
