SOCIO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF THE CHOSEN VARIANT FOR LAND RECLAMATION DESIGN

The economic analysis was conducted using an incremental approach, comparing the economic costs and benefits of the project over a 30-year analysis period, which is the same as used in the financial analysis. The analysis was carried out at constant prices using a social discount rate of 3%. The financial costs of the project were used as a basis for estimating its economic costs, by correcting the component of unskilled labor and investment and operational costs with shadow prices that take into account the level of current distortions between domestic and import-export market prices through conversion factors. The economic evaluation of the project included the calculation of the economic costs of the project as well as the assessment of the economic benefits. After presenting the total economic costs and total economic benefits, the economic cash flow is discounted and the economic parameters are calculated.The abstract should summarize the paper's contents in brief, approximately 250 words.
