A Study On The Post-evaluation Of Port Construction Projects

The post-evaluation of construction projects is a systemic analysis method for project aims, construction process, operational effectiveness and impact after project investment is completed, which is to improve the decision-making, construction and management level of the project. The post-evaluation of construction projects should be an integral part of the project cycle. However, it has been applied relatively late in China, especially in the water infrastructure and port construction projects. Presently most of studies for such projects concentrated in the feasibility study and analysis before projects. Thus the in-depth and systematic study on post-evaluation of port construction projects is very important.By elaborating and analyzing the basic concepts, evaluation principles, contents and evaluation process and other basic theory of post-evaluation, also comparatively research on evaluation method and evaluation system, the difference of post-evaluation is discussed between the domestic and abroad in this dissertation. For the post-evaluation status nowadays, particularly for port construction projects, raises from the project process, economic efficiency, environmental and social impact, and durative aspects of the project to build the post-evaluation system and finally select appropriate methods from the above four aspects to do the post-evaluation with the port-building project features.This dissertation is divided into six chapters.The first chapter analyzes some of the main concepts, as well as to review the researches which have been done on post-evaluation.In Chapter 2, we discuss the post-evaluation at home and abroad, mainly about in the World Bank and other country, present the differences in implementation of post- evaluation at home and abroad.In Chapter 3, we discuss the building of post-evaluation system, and mainly define the building of the concept and basic theory.In Chapter 4, we focus on the individual post-evaluation methods of the project process, the economic benefits, impact and sustainability, and also on comprehensive post-evaluation methods of Gray and Fuzzy principle. After the analysis, the dissertation summarizes single and comprehensive post-evaluation method of port construction project.In Chapter 5, through a case of Xiamen port construction project, under the previous post-project evaluation theory and the evaluation system and the integrated use of single and comprehensive post-evaluation methods, we analyze the success degree of this project and also give the corresponding specific process.In Chapter 6, the conclusions and expectations are shown, i.e., summing up the experience, insufficiency, and further study problems of post-evaluation in future.
