    Study Notes

    Components of a Complete Feasibility Study

    • A complete feasibility study includes a general profile of the study area, economic analysis, environmental impact assessment, and developmental benefits quantification.
    • The study components include right-of-way strip planning, non-quantifiable benefits, traffic impact assessment, design and cost estimation.
    • The introduction of the study contains background/overview of the project, conceptual framework of the study, and stated objectives.

    Sectoral Development Towards National Development

    • The project alignment with national development plans and strategies is crucial.
    • The study aims to demonstrate how the project becomes an instrument for the realization of national development.
    • The environmental, institutional, and cultural aspects are also considered.

    Towards Local and Regional Development

    • The project alignment with regional and local development plans, especially regional development plans (RDPs), area development and conservation plans is important.
    • It aims to understand how the project contributes to fulfilling these plans.
    • Traffic congestion reduction is one of the objectives of the project.

    Development Impact Assessment

    • The project's impact is studied both with and without the implementation of the project.
    • The study analyzes how the project improves the current user travel experience, such as reducing travel time, creating socio-economic opportunities, and improving pedestrian crossings.

    Research and Surveys

    • Various research methods are used to assess the project's impact, including manual classification count, origin and destination surveys, travel time studies, license plate surveys, pedestrian crossing data, and water transport and passenger surveys.
    • Socio-economic profile of the study area, CLUP data, terrain, affected structures, cross-section, and critical sections are also considered.

    Surveys and Investigation

    • Surveys and investigation are conducted to gather data, such as historical rainfall data, water level data, discharge data, SPT, and core drilling.
