| Abstract | This research aims to apply Environmental Assessment (EA) to the mass transit system of Uttaradit Province, Thailand. EA included Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the plan and program levels and Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for the project level. SEA was scoped for the development and assessment of the appropriate alternatives for mass transit system development plan and mass transit system program. IEE was scoped for mass transit system selection resulted by SEA study. The appropriate alternative mass transit development plan derived from the SEA study was smart plan with positive impact score as 49.36%), compared to the conventional mass transit development plan and no plan with impact scored as 32.17%, was 18.4 %, respectively. Under the smart plan, the appropriate alternative assessed for the main mass transit system program derived by SEA study was the road with railway system with impact score of 36.64% compared with was railway system and road system with impact score as 33.90% and 29.46% respectively. After SEA assessment, IEE was undertaken for the minor mass transit system at project level defined as Minor 1, Minor 2 and Minor 3. Example of Minor 1 was assessed by comparison of Alternative 1,1 and Alternative 1.2. Herein, only environmental with social dimension was carried out for assessment. The impact scores of alternatives derived by IEE study were brought to combine with engineering and economic dimension for further consideration of the appropriate alternative. |
