2 OJECTIVES
The main objectives of this work were:
1) to study the influence in households that have been affected
by a variation of cultivated surfaces, productions and incomes
from agricultural product sold during the period from 1995 to
1997 before the project and 1997 to 2002 after the project, in
order to determine indications that can permit us to appreciate
their standard of living,
2) to analyse the consequences of the tracing of the pipeline on
children education, and health care of affected household.
3) to finally propose a method of optimal management of agro
- economic effects of project at the level of these households.
3. HYPOTHESE OF WORK
The population of the rural zone are mostly farmers and have
agriculture as the only source of incomes. The households in
the villages affected by the pipeline project in the subdivision
of BIPINDI need to readjust their activities to improve their
incomes and the development of the region.
The indemnities paid should help them to reinvest in other
activities
4. METHODOLOGY
For the realisation of this work we are going to use the method
of << stratified random sampling >> for the selection of
households to be interviewed, we are going to use Cost Benefit
Analysis method and the Study of the Project Effects on the
land. We have selected six villages affected by the project in
Bipindi Sub-Division. We came out with the following data of
334 households out of 454 censured in 1997 which, had a
percentage of 73.54 %. This data has been analysed on the base
of Cost Benefit Analysis Method and also by Project Effect.
The present assessment of socio-economic impacts of the
pipeline project on the boarding households is going to address
the influence of the agricultural activities from 1995 to 2002
with the attendance in schools health care. Some three plants,
Cassava + Living Crops (LC) Palm tree and Cacao) as
indicators following some criterias of which the most important
are: 1) the frequency of the crops and their availability in the
markets; 2) their cultivation as regular sources of household
incomes; 3) living crops must be consumed more in the zone.
The instrument used here was the questionnaire initiated to
determine the different types of crops which are the sources of
household incomes in the zone of investigation. Investigations
in these villages have been done during a period of two
months, from 6 of September to October 27th, 2002.
S. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The following data give the variation of cultivated areas
between 1995 and 1997 and between 1997 and 2002.

5.1 — Variations of cultivated areas
Graphs 1 and 2 on cultivated areas show us the behaviours of
households before and after identification of the itinerary of the
pipeline project. We can observe the impairment of cultivated
areas of cocoa from 5.98 % to 5.09 % and the cassava *LC from
34.73 % to 32.34 % from 1997 to 2002. The increase of palm tree
area is due to the activity of youth who create new farm area.
