| Abstract | Environmental problems are not individual responsibility from specific authority. Everyone has to protect and maintain our existing environment together with development. The purpose of the research is to environmental impact assessment in highway construction activities in term of noise and dust. The thesis investigates effect area impacted workers and people living nearby the highway. The research divides construction phase into 12 groups of activities including 3 items such as sub-base, base and pavement. The data is measured directly in construction site in term of noise and dust for each activity. After that, the research provides the mitigation measures to reduce effects of activities. Besides, the research still collected data through personal interviews. Two parties were conducted which are contractors and field managers. The outcomes of data can be supportive information in order to know their perception about environment impact assessment in highway construction. Thus, the research will compare them with measurement data on site in order to complete knowledge about environment impact assessment in highway construction. The achievement of the study determines impact in highway construction activities by using measurement, provides practical mitigation measures and complete knowledge of contractors and field managers about environment impact assessment in highway construction |
