     Especially in developing countries where economic growth is remarkable, asset management initiatives are recognized as important activities as well as new construction. To establish the asset management system, it is essential to accumulate data with reliability collected by daily maintenance work and periodic inspections, so there are some cases where equipment for periodic inspections appropriate to the actual condition of maintenance and long-term strategy of asset management is introduced. However, in the case where new inspection equipment is introduced in a country that has not carried out periodic inspection so far, there is not established process for verifying the reliability of the data acquired by the inspection equipment also. This paper aims to propose a process of the practical approaches that verify the reliability of inspection data collected by the inspection equipment introduced for asset management of road network managed by Addis Ababa City, Ethiopia, and to propose a generalized knowledge obtained from the result of practical activities.

     The Nam Ngiep 1 Hydropower Project in Lao PDR has been under construction of 2 dams and 2 powerhouses with total installed capacity of 290 MW. Once the 167 m high RCC dam is completed across the Nam Ngiep River, a large reservoir of 67 square kilometer in area will be created upstream. In the reservoir area there existed 5 villages and 3,500 Project Affected Peoples resided. Almost all the villagers are ethnic minority Hmong with their unique culture that includes such as paternity and animism, and they lived in the mountainous and remote areas far from modern conveniences by gathering and collecting from the rain forest and keeping their traditional culture. A new village of Houay Soup with the area of 60 square kilometer close to dams and powerhouses construction site was curentlly established. Infrastructure such as access roads, power distribution lines, a water supply system, paddy fields with irrigation system, houses and community buildings were constructed on the relatively flat area by suiting their variety of rules and customs, through communication and participation with them. This paper presents the process of compensation and development of the Houay Soup Resettlement for ethnic minority Hmong.

     In practice of introducing bridge management in developing countries, it is the case that 1) inventory data of existing infrastructure facilities is not validated, and 2) visual inspection data is not stored. It is possible to estimate the stochastic deterioration prediction models by using the information about construction or repair timing and one time inspection data in bridge management. However, they are quite often the cases that the data about construction timing of part of bridges are missing in developing countries. In this study, a methodology to estimate the deterioration prediction model of bridge using the imperfect data base in which information on inauguration time of some bridges are missing is proposed. The applicable of the methodology presented in this paper is examined against the bridge data in Vietnam.
