Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

6.5.2 Supplementary readings

Course subject(s) 6. Social Design Principles

In the preceding video ‘Distilling Social Design Principles’ Prof. Jill Slinger mentions three references. The first is a journal article by de Boer et al. (2019),  the second is a PhD thesis by McEvoy (2019), and the third is the document on social impact assessment by Vanclay et al. (2015) provided earlier. The journal article by de Boer et al. (2019) is included immediately below – it is focused on the port of Tema, Ghana. A journal article by McEvoy et al. (2019) is included instead of the full PhD thesis.  Here the authors establish that workshop activities can have positive learning effects on an overarching stakeholder engagement process for up to 1,5 years.

You can cite the two papers as:
