This article studies measuring the effectiveness of delivering environmental impact monitoring report according to the EIA procedure and proposes a project guidance for which the project is targeted at the Ministry Of Natural Resources and the environment that must be prepared. The EIA report was approved by approved by the office of natural resources and environmental policy and planning. And it was published on the in 1984 - 2023. There are 10,229 projects (9 project types) using descriptive statistics in the analysis of the data.
The study found that the top three projects in which the EIA report was submitted were: 1.Building projects, land allocation and community services (60.00 %), 2. Mining projects (12.63 %), and 3. Industrial projects (7.38 %), and the top three projects in which the project was submitted are 1. Building projects (59.11 %), 2. Mining projects (19.27 %), and 3. Energy projects (15.49 %). The most commonly used are other projects and energy projects. 91.67 and 33.79 respectively. The non-eia projects are the oil Refinery and water resources and agricultural development projects. The two projects, when the effectiveness of the EIA report is analyzed, are at a very small level. Most of the projects do not follow the EIA process and do not comply with the regulations.
