NONUSER EFFECTS IN HIGHWAY PLANNING

THIS PAPER IS A PARTIAL REVIEW OF A NONUSER HIGHWAY IMPACT EVALUATIN PROJECT THAT FOCUSES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CORRIDOR-LOCATION PLANNING INFORMATION THROUGH THE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF LOCAL CITIZENS. THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO FORMALIZE POTENTIAL COMMUNITY CONCERNS REGARDING THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF THE MOST COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED NONUSER IMPACTS (BOTH BENEFICIAL AND DETRIMENTAL) OF CORRIDOR LOCATION. THIS INFORMATION, GATHERED ON A STATEWIDE BASIS, SHOWS THE EXTENT OF REGIONAL VARIATION IN THE VALUES ATTACHED TO EACH OF THE ITEMS AND THEREBY PROVIDES STATE HIGHWAY PLANNERS WITH DATA SHOWING THE COMMUNITIES' TRADE-OFF RATIOS FOR THE IMPACTS OF ROAD- BUILDING. RELATIVE WEIGHTS FOR NONUSER IMPACTS ARE THUS ESTABLISHED BY THE CITIZENS THEMSELVES. /AUTHOR/
