| Abstract | Project evaluation is an important step for implementation of any project because it can
affect the allocation of resources. Initially, project evaluation focused on the measurable items.
The project evaluation methodology of which provide an economic efficiency and consistency
result is considerably sufficient. The recognition of the social impact known as the externality,
recall the researchers to develop the new methodology in order to incorporate such the effect.
This research had developed the existing Benefit Incidence Matrix (BIM) by incorporating the
land use, traffic accident, environmental quality to the transportation benefit and apply to the
Chaeng Wattana-Bang Poon-Bang Sai Expressway project. The most important stage for
applying the Benefit Incidence Matrix are~ identification of the people who will be affected
from the project, specification and methodology for estimation. The final results will be
presented in the Benefit Incidence Matrix, which is the comprehensive information related to
the group of people, who gain or loss due to the project. The result from the numerical study
indicates that traffic accident is a very important items for the transportation project
evaluation. In the Chaeng Wattana-Bang Poon-Bang Sai Expressway project, the traffic
accident reduction shares almost 5,000 million Baht or approximately 20 % of the social net
benefit. Where as, the project generates more transport demand affects a lot to the fuel
consumption and lead to the deterioration in environmental quality. The land owners, only one
agent, can enjoy the project's benefits, because almost all of the other agent's benefit is transfer
to the land owner though the increasing in the land price. Based on this result, it' s clear that
some policies or instrnment of which the project benefit will be handled to all group of the
people are required. |
