    ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY OF CAMBODIA REPORT ON POWER SECTOR OF THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 2013 EDITION Compiled by Electricity Authority of Cambodia from Data for the Year 2012 received from Licensees Electricity Authority of Cambodia ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY OF CAMBODIA REPORT ON POWER SECTOR OF THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 2013 EDITION Compiled by Electricity Authority of Cambodia from Data for the Year 2012 received from Licensees Report on Power Sector for the Year 2012 0 Electricity Authority of Cambodia Preface The Annual Report on Power Sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia 2013 Edition is compiled from informations for the year 2012 availble with EAC and received from licensees, MIME and other organizations in the power sector. The data received from some licensees may not up to the required level of accuracy and hence the information provided in this report may be taken as indicative. This report is for dissemination to the Royal Government, institutions, investors and public desirous to know about the situation of the power sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia during the year 2012. With addition of more HV transmission system and MV sub-transmission system, more and more licensees are getting connected to the grid supply. This has resulted in improvement in the quality of supply to more consumers. By end of 2012, more than 91% of the consumers are connected to the grid system. More licensees are now supplying electricity for 24 hours a day. The grid supply has reduced the cost of supply and consequently the tariff for supply to consumers. Due to lower cost and other measures taken by Royal Government of Cambodia, in 2012 there has been a substantial increase in the number of consumers availing electricity supply.

  • Executive Summary
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Context and Objectives Infrastructure is a key factor in economic development. Infrastructure development can also help in narrowing gaps between developed and backward regions. Infrastructure, especially transport and connectivity, is crucial for regional cooperation and integration. In the absence of efficient physical connectivity, any initiatives taken towards regional trade liberalization will remain ineffective. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) secretariat has identified infrastructure development as one of the Priority Integrated Sectors (PIS) of the ASEAN economic community. It would also be of crucial importance for programmes of regional economic cooperation and integration within the East Asia Summit (EAS) framework. It was in that context that infrastructure development was studied as part of the work programme of the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA). This project aims to analyze the current status, issues, and challenges facing infrastructure development in East Asia and examine the role that regional cooperation can play in meeting these challenges. Specific objectives include 1) examining infrastructure rankings of EAS countries in terms of availability and quality of infrastructure development globally as well as within the region and progress made over time; 2) surveying and analyzing the status of infrastructure development, issues, and challenges faced by different EAS countries; 3) collecting basic geographical data at the subregional level and developing a spatial economic model to simulate various effects xii of infrastructure development on contiguous subnational regions. Methodology The study adopted a three-pronged approach to achieve its objectives. The methodology followed included the construction of an East Asian Index of Infrastructure Development.

  • The High-Speed Railway (HSR) Service, the Eastern Economic Corridor's Development, and Thailand: a Geographical Simulation Analysis
    Daisuke Hiratsuka, “High-Speed Railway, the EEC, and the Change of the Landscape of Thailand and its Neighboring Countries” BRC Research Report, Bangkok Research Center, JETRO Bangkok/IDE-JETRO, 2018 Chapter 2 The High-speed Railway (HSR) Service, The Eastern Economic Corridor's Development, and Thailand: A Geographical Simulation Analysis Ikumo Isono# 1 Overseas Research Fellow (Seville), IDE-JETRO Abstract: The economic impact of Thailand's HSR project, and development of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), has been estimated using the Geographical Simulation Model (IDE-GSM). The HSR service will generate a positive economic impact in the areas along the routes and in the areas extending from the stations, but will generate a negative economic impact in other areas. Adding the EEC's development to the Eastern Line project will generate a highly positive economic impact along the Eastern Line route, but other areas will suffer a negative economic impact in comparison with the baseline scenario. In order to spread the economic impact of development in one area across the whole country, additional measures are necessary, and in this paper, we propose the Mekong-India Economic Corridor (MIEC) as an example. Keywords: Simulation, Thailand, High-speed railway, Economic Corridor JEL Classification: O53; R12; R13 1. Introduction As the initiative of Thailand's high-speed railway and the development of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is being embodied, the economic impact of these projects has been estimated using the Geographical Simulation Model (IDE-GSM, Kumagai el al. 2013). Currently, four HSR projects, the Northeastern, Northern, Southern and Eastern Lines are planned, and construction of the Northeastern Line started in January 2018, and the EEC will cover from Bangkok to Rayong.

  • Chapter 4: Development Strategy for Kampot
    The Study on National Integrated Strategy of Coastal Area and Master Plan of Sihanouk-ville for Sustainable Development Final Report (Book II) CHAPTER 4: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR KAMPOT 4.1 Issues in the Present Conditions of Kampot 4.1.1 Socio Economic Condition According to the 2008 Census, the total population in the Kampot province was 585,850, of which only 8.2% of population was living in urban area. Population density of the province was 120/km2, which was considerably higher than the national average of 56/km2. In Kampot, 36.4% of the population (225,039) was under 15 years of age. Working age population (age between 15 and 64) was 377,315 or 61.0% of the population. Labor force participation rate1 of Kampot (81.5%) in 2008 was higher than that of the national average (76.9%) and the Study area average (76.4%). About 85% of labor force in the province was engaged in agriculture. The high labor force participation rate in Kampot is considered to be a result from extensive self-employed agricultural activities. The economically active segment of the population (employed population + unemployed population) was 309,098, which accounted for 49.9% of the total population in the province. Population of the Kampot province has increased by 1.0% per annum between 1998 and 2008. During the same period, the number of labor force in the Study area has increased more rapidly from 230,411 to 309,093 with annual average increase rate of 3.0%. Table 4.1.1 Change in Population and Number of Labor Force in Kampot Province Population Labor Force Urban Rural Total 1998 Census 45,240 483,165 528,405 230,411 2008 Census 48,274 537,576 585,850 309,093 Annual Growth Rate (98-08) 0.7% 1.1% 1.0% 3.0% Source: CENSUS 1998 and 2008, NIS Such a rapid increase in labor force was attributed to 4 main factors; namely 1) increase in the total population, 2) increase in the percentage of working age population to total population (51.6% -> 61.0%), 3) increase in the labor force participation rate (75.4% -> 81.5%), and 4) decrease in the crude unemployment rate (3.7% -> 1.4%).

    Kampot of the Belle Epoque: From the Outlet of Cambodia to a Title Colonial Resort(<Special Issue>New Japanese Scholarship in Cambodian Studies) Author(s) Kitagawa, Takako Citation 東南アジア研究 (2005), 42(4): 394-417 Issue Date 2005-03 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/53808 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 42, No. 4, 東南アジア研究 March 2005 42巻 4 号 Kampot of the Belle Époque: From the Outlet of Cambodia to a Colonial Resort KITAGAWA Takako* Abstract Historical studies about Cambodia have paid little attention to regional factors, and historians have been hardly able to give much perspective about the history of particular regions within the country. Therefore, this paper looks at Kampot as it was during the French colonial period in order to understand the foundations of present-day Kampot. Presently, Kampot is the name of a province and its capital city, which face the Gulf of Thailand. During the colonial period, it was an administrative center for the circonscription résidentielle that extended over the coastal region. The principal sources for this paper are the “Rapports périodiques, économiques et politiques de la résidence de Kampot,” from 1885 to 1929, collected in the Centre des Archives d’Outre-Mer in Aix-en-Provence, France. Drawing from the results of our examination, we can recognize two stages in the history of Kampot. These are (1) the Kampot of King Ang-Duong, and (2) modern Kampot, which was con- structed by French colonialism. King Ang-Duong’s Kampot was the primary sea outlet for his landlocked kingdom.
