These impacts will be differentiated from the ones reported in urban areas and will provide insights into the economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts of CWS, from the level of the individual worker to that of the local community, in relation to various factors, such as population density, geographical distances to other areas etc. Moreover, this topic will be linked with a number of other ESR topics in a process of mutual information exchange.
