DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO FEASIBILITY STUDY OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

Abstract

Civil and municipal infrastructure are all projects that are linked to society and the economy. Investment in them is very important, whether they are feasible or not. It is necessary to conduct accurate and intensive studies for these vital projects. This study aims to facilitate the feasibility study process and ease of access to information. It contains a series of detailed studies depending on the literature review in addition to conducting interviews with experts and specialists to propose a detailed framework for infrastructure projects. After that, a questionnaire was designed to determine the relative importance of each variable in the study to support the results by using the SPSS program. Then the development of the computer program depends on the results of the management system steps and supportive questionnaire by using visual basic.Net language and Access database. The program was tested by applying a case study for a private university, where data was used and commissioned to establish the university and find out the feasibility of the project by using the computer program. It was found through the field survey and personal interviews of the departments concerned with infrastructure projects that feasibility studies are sometimes overlooked in infrastructure projects in Iraq. There is abuse in use, as it is ignored misuse of feasibility studies .This in turn leads to cost and time overruns and environmental impact. Negatively impact the time and cost of the project, resulting in increasing the time and the cost of the project. If a feasibility study is prepared for the project, it will be preliminary only, without addressing the detailed studies. Through a field survey and a questionnaire that relied entirely on experienced engineers in the design, and follow-up divisions in the departments of infrastructure projects, the efficiency of the proposed administrative system was deduced in terms of the importance of the proposed steps in it for all types of the feasibility study. The researcher recommends paying attention to the subject of the feasibility study, especially for infrastructure projects, as they are giant projects that require a thorough study before their establishment. Moreover, knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of the project in all respects, and the necessity of conducting detailed studies for them. In such projects it is not sufficient to conduct a preliminary study of the project, but rather extensive detailed studies. Work on developing a project evaluation and selection system by raising the efficiency of evaluation and selection methods and improving information systems associated with it and interest in providing expertise and specialists in this field.
