摘要: |
The objective of this study was to develop a practical guidebook capable of assisting transportation professionals in assessing the social and economic effects of transportation projects. The guidebook has been published as NCHRP Report 456 (TRIS 00810856). This final report presents much of the background research carried out in the course of the project. Section 1 contains an introduction. Section 2 contains a comprehensive literature review that discusses the methods, tools, and techniques currently available for assessing the social and economic effects that may arise from a transportation project. The review contains an evaluation of the approaches discussed, including how capable they are of predicting the effects of a project before it actually is carried out. Section 3 presents an analysis of a survey mailed to the planning and environmental units of all 50 state departments of transportation and to all metropolitan planning organizations within the United States. The survey inquires as to the current nature and level of use of a series of general categories of methods, tools, and techniques. It also asks these agencies for their assessment of the quality and usability of these modes of analysis. Appendix A contains tabulations of the responses to the survey. The final section, Section 4, provides an evaluation of the current state of the practice in assessing social and economic effects of transportation projects and suggests research that could help transportation professionals advance this state of the practice. Research needs are presented under 11 topical headings that correspond to the major sections of the guidebook. |
