Benefit Transfer using a Classification

Development of Evaluation System for Public Reservoir Maintenance Projects using GIS

Abstract

This paper aims to develop the benefit transfer system to facilitate evaluation of external benefit of public projects. We take Oasis maintenance project as a case study, which is carried out for reservoirs in Osaka prefecture. Benefit transfer in this paper is conducted by the following process; 1. Classification of reservoirs by professionals, 2. Valuing the external effect of a representative reservoir, 3. Benefit Transfer among the same classification. We apply GIS to integrate the geographical information for the purpose of execution of easy and effect evaluation.
