Abstract: In developing countries, where resources are limited, it is important to develop and study all available alternatives effectively and efficiently to improve project performance and in decision making. Performance evaluation techniques can help to find ways to improve solutions to the problems by providing a measured balance in cost, schedule, and quality via the performance evaluation of alternatives. This requires a motivated team of multi-disciplined professionals in cooperation with well-established project stakeholders who are stimulated and guided by the appropriate methods.Many quantitative methods have been developed to facilitate making rational decision making involving multi criteria. Most methods either ignore or barely include non-quantifiable factors. Analytical Hierarchy Process and Multi Attribute Utility Theory methods allow the inclusion of non-quantifiable parameters such as environmental, social and political criteria beside quantifiable cost-effective technical and

Abstract: A problem solving of floods in urban area is a complex process. There is no a generale solution can be used to solve the problem of floods in any cases. The solution of floods should be adjusted to the characteristic of flood fenamenon in a certain location. There are some alternative solutions could be created to solve the problem, it is however the best decision should be found out. This research contributes tocarry out an optimisation model to find out the most effective and efficient solution. The concept of optimisation is based on value for money approach using value engineering tool to choose the best solution from any possible alternatives. The result shows that the best solution is an alternative succeding to avoid the flood with the highest impact in disturbing socio economic activities.
