Rewitalizacja terenów poprzemysłowych służy zwiększeniu atrakcyjności i wartości poszczególnych działek do takiego poziomu, aby mogły konkurować z terenami wcześniej niezagospodarowanymi. Celem niniejszej publikacji jest zbadanie efektywności ekonomicznej rewitalizacji terenów poprzemysłowych. Wykorzystując CBA (cost–benefit analysis), obliczono udział efektywności społeczno-ekonomicznej w porównaniu z całkowitą efektywnością poszczególnych projektów z zastosowaniem EBCR na przykładzie 14 projektów zlokalizowanym w kraju południowomorawskim. Ponadto wartość oczekiwaną EBCR symulowano metodą Monte Carlo. Wyniki pokazują, że efektywność społeczno-ekonomiczna w znaczący sposób przyczynia się do ogólnej skuteczności tych projektów, a zatem nie można jej pomijać podczas ich oceny. Na końcu artykułu wskazano kierunku dalszych badań w tej dziedzinie.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to point out the advantage of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and its economic indicators to assess a rehabilitation of bridges. The paper includes short example of assessment of the project economic efficiency in which economic indicators are applied in order to evaluate of two technology project variants of bridge object rehabilitation. It quantifies and compares the economic results of alternative 1 with the monolithic prestress construction and alternative 2, with the composite steel - concrete bridge. The contribution reflects the current practice of economic analysis recommended by the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development.

The ProblemEconomic efficiency is naturally thought to be a virtue of social policies and decisions, and cost-benefit (CB) analysis is commonly regarded as a technique for measuring economic efficiency. It is not surprising, then, that CB analysis is so widely used in social policy analysis. However, there is a great deal of controversy about CB analysis, including controversy about its underlying philosophical rationale. The rationales that have been proposed fall into three basic, though not mutually exclusive categories. There are moralist views to the effect that an acceptable CB analysis would provide, or contribute to, an ethical appraisal of proposed policies or projects. There are rationalist views to the effect that an acceptable CB analysis would contribute to the selection of social policies and projects that are “socially rational.” Finally, there are so-called management science views to the effect that the purpose of CB analysis is to promote the achievement of objectives held by the policy maker, whatever they may be. Different positions are available within each of these categories. But there is also the possibility that CB analysis lacks any viable rationale. I will examine some of the major rationales for CB analysis in this paper, and I will suggest that the last view is close to the truth.

In a recent article in Policy Quarterly (August 2013) Michael Pickford claimed that economic efficiency (as determined by social cost-benefit analysis) has declined in importance as a factor in determining investment in state highways. He claims that this has led to the NZ Transport Agency investing in state highway projects with low benefit-cost ratios, such as the roads of national significance. This reply explains why Pickford’s assertions are not correct.
