In this paper, we investigate a quantitative evaluation of developmental projects involving petrochemical complexes and environmental policies for the reduction of atmospheric pollution in the Yokkaichi region. It is shown, using economentric model on the Yokkaichi region, that the calculation of environmental damage costs needs further consideration, and that the calculation of environmental damage costs needs estimating over the long term of a year. The calulation of environmental damage costs using direct measure underestimated the human damage within the scope of our knowing, therefore, we applied an indirect measure. Using the concept of imputed environmental costs in our analysis, the indirect impact measurement resulted in a higher cost estimate than the direct measure. Moreover, the imputed environmental costs rapidly decreased when an appropriate environmental policy was adopted. It is important in regional development policies that sufficient consideration be given and strict regulations applied to the environment and in addition, that efforts for environmental preservation begin at an early stage. Such policies will minimize damage to the environment, which will in turn minimize actual environmental costs for the improvement of the environment.
