Community attitudes: These can be difficult to evaluate. Most communities usually welcome setting up of a new industry especially since it would provide employment opportunities to the local people directly or indirectly. However, in case of polluting industries, they would try their utmost to locate them as far away as possible. Sometimes because of prevailing law and order situation, companies have been forced to relocate their units. The attitude of people as well as the state government has an impact on location of polluting and hazardous industries.
