Abstract: Abstract The critical of area-based infrastructure projects evaluation (AIPE) concerns lack of appropriate tools and efficient key indicators to evaluate throughout the process. So, the projects cannot respond to the needs or necessities of the people in area according to the specified goals and sustainability. This study aims to analyse the influence factors of AIPE by a modified Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) process to gain project sustainability. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods. The in-depth semi-structured interview was established at the beginning of a reliable pilot case study. The questionnaire used for data collection was mailed to representatives across Thailand. The findings showed that the influencing factors can be divided into four groups: (1) ‘Plan’ process which consisted of two factors that are ‘implementation plan and good governance’ (IPGG) and ‘action plan and stakeholder cooperation’ (APSC), (2) ‘Do’ process which involved ‘budget provision and public support’ (BPPS) and ‘organisation administration and management tool’ (OAMT), (3) ‘Check’ process which contained ‘area participation and leader competency’ (APLC), and (4) ‘Act’ process which included ‘research development and knowledge management’ (RDKM). The project developers, managers, administrators, researchers, operators, and related stakeholders can develop effective PDCA process for the successful and sustainability AIPE within boundaries specified.
