BART IMPACT PROGRAM: THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF BART'S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. SOME PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS AND HYPOTHESES

The paper draws attention to some of the social consequences of environmental perturbations caused by the construction of the Bay Area Rapid Transit System (BART). A series of hypotheses is developed to illustrate the interaction of environmental perturbations and the development of attitudes and behavior that enhance the self-perceived status of individuals. Further research on environmental impacts taking the identified social factors into account is recommended.
