Original Abstract

The paper focuses on the socio-economic impacts of transport infrastructure projects of diverse significance (highways, roads) with different investors. The authors have been dealing in the long run with economic efficiency of large scale infrastructure projects in the Czech Republic in both methodological and factual terms. Investor of the large scale infrastructure projects (highways) is Road and Highway Directo rate. Large amount of funds are also spent on regional level within individual regions of the Czech Republic on investment activities related to lower level roads without which the territory and the backbone networks could not function properly. Investors of middle and small infrastructure projects are municipalities. The research activities aimed at creating methodological procedures for socio-economic assessment of transport infrastructure projects at these two different levels. Projects selected for implementation must always take into account a Pareto optimum, respecting the 3E principles and be beneficial for the development of the territory. The research focuses on finding common and distinct sub-processes within the methodological approaches for assessing the socio-economic efficiency of the projects and their impact on regional development. The examined variables are particularly investment costs and socio-economic benefits related in particular to reducing operating costs, travel time and negative externalities. The analysis has been carried out on two data sets, 47 Czech large scale infrastructure projects and 18 small/middle size infrastructure projects implemented in the South Moravian Region. The output is the evaluation of the socio-economic impact of the new/reconstructed transport infrastructure projects on the investigated territory.
