METHODICAL APPROACH FOR THE ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF SPECIFIC PROJECTS ON WATERWAYS

The paper is focused on the area of the economic evaluation of specific projects carried out within the waterway. As specific projects are for purposes of this article considered mainly projects of service and safety anchorage, which have no direct impact on the capacity of the waterway or its navigability, however they are increasing the safety and the comfort of the navigation for all participants. The objective of the paper is to evaluate the suitability of partial approaches for the economic valuation, the attention will be paid mainly on the utilization of the Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) and Multi-Criterial Analysis (MCA), which has been already used as a part of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The legal part of the problem will be also taken into account. The legal part solves mainly the duty of the elaboration of the specific analysis (CBA or MCA) for evaluation of specific projects on waterway. Results and conclusions following the research will be presented and verified on case studies of projects consisting in the realisation of service and safety anchorage carried out on the waterway Bata Channel in the Czech Republic.
