Abstract
Assessment of public interests with appropriate scoping is necessary for infrastructure planning. Here, public interests should be examined considering the difference in values among stakeholders. This study proposes a multi-dimensional evaluation system of infrastructure development focusing on concurrence of common interests. The effectiveness of development is measured by a change in QoL level which is defined as an overall satisfaction of five essential elements; safety, economic opportunity, environmental benignity, etc. It is demonstrated that our QoL-based evaluation system contributes to the enhancement of accountability of decision making and ensuring social equality in regeneration of port areas vulnerable to flood-tide disasters.
