Here, we first identify six critical aspects of planning in mining regions: i) the temporal nature of mining operations; ii) spatial dimensions of mining operations; iii) irreversible changes that create post-mining landscapes; iv) social dimensions of mining impacts and corporate responsibility; v) cumulative dimensions of impacts; and vi) a need to integrate methods from a range of disciplines.
Climate change, he said, "is a pervasive problem with many dimensions of impacts, which together I think make it the most serious threat we face". .

The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) comprises 14 items that explore seven dimensions of impact: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability and handicap.
The paper concludes with a call for more strategic attention to dimensions of impact other than knowledge outcomes and for participatory planning for research.
It assesses seven dimensions of impact, including functional limitations, pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap [ 7, 8].
The OHIP-14 items refer to seven dimensions of impact, with participants asked to disclose the frequency of impact on Likert scales where 0 = never, 1 = hardly ever, 2 = occasionally, 3 = fairly often, and 4 = very often.
