Public-Private Partnerships involving governments and insurers have been used worldwide for mitigation of natural-hazards. However, the implementation of such systems in developing countries presents problems for their key stakeholders. On the one hand, property owners are hesitant to purchase insurance or invest in retrofit projects due to cost considerations. On the other hand, insurers are reluctant to cover potential seismic losses, because of uncertainties about the risk. This study introduces an innovative Public-Private Partnership framework for property owners, insurers and governments to facilitate decisions related to hazard insurance and structural retrofit of vulnerable buildings. This framework can also help insurance firms reduce the level of corporate financial assets available for payment of compensation to their clients, as required by regulations aimed at reducing the risk of insurer insolvencies. Property owners are motivated to participate in the framework by extra mitigation subsidies from the government. While the government will be reimbursed for part of the cost of these retrofit projects by insurance firms, whose own savings will be achieved through reductions to legally mandated corporate capital. A case study is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach for mitigating seismic risk to residential buildings in a rural area.

Although questionnaires are widely used in construction management studies, designing the instrument has proven to be a difficult task among research students. This article explored the process of developing and testing questionnaires for construction management studies focusing on managing risks in Public Private Partnership (PPP) housing projects. The processes of developing questionnaire were grouped into four stages consisting of the background, conceptualization, design and instrument testing and administration. Using the processes identified, a flowchart indicating step-by-step stages for developing questionnaires was designed. Results of validity and reliability tests conducted on certain aspects of the questionnaire indicated that the instrument can be relied upon to generate acceptable data for scientific research. The main contribution of this paper is expanding the scope and simplifying the design of questionnaire among upcoming researchers in the field of construction management. This study recommends the design for students undertaking construction management related studies.

Purpose To provide low-cost housing, the Myanmar Government is attempting to use public–private partnership (PPP) to attract private investors. However, there is little information concerning the influencing factors for implementing PPP low-cost housing projects in Myanmar. This paper, therefore, aims to identify and analyse these factors. Design/methodology/approach A total of 51 in-depth interviews were conducted with interviewees involved in various kinds of housing projects implemented through the adoption of PPP or other approaches. The methods of data collection and the analysis are based on grounded theory (GT) methodology. Findings Using the GT method to analyse the interviews, five categories emerged from 50 influencing factors regarding the establishment and implementation of the PPP model for low-cost housing in Myanmar: provision of incentives; obstacles in implementing PPP for all stakeholders; barriers to private sector participation; public sector responsibilities and challenges; and attraction factors and challenges for financial institutions. Among 12 newly found factors, the three most important for PPP low-cost housing in Myanmar are the availability of project funding, the resolution of land-acquisition issues and the development of a sound financing system. Research limitations/implications Our findings strengthen previous studies by identifying factors affecting PPP low-cost housing either specific to Myanmar or common among other countries. Of the 50 factors identified, 38 factors were found in previous studies, but 12 are likely specific to Myanmar. Practical implications Our findings can be used by governments, particularly the Myanmar Government, and financial agencies to understand the low attractiveness of PPP low-cost housing for investors and to develop/improve policies to stimulate PPP low-cost housing, especially in Myanmar. Originality/value Many previous studies have been undertaken to identify factors that influence the implementation of PPP for low-cost housing. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are no prior studies specific to Myanmar in this context.

AbstractStudies have shown that project risks are responsible for the failure of most Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects. The study examined the critical risk factors associated with PPP housing projects. Data for the research was obtained through a questionnaire. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and mean ratings. Corruption and bribery among contracting parties (0.681), Exchange rate volatility (0.621) Availability of development funds (0.599) and Change in government (0.580) were the critical risk factors identified. The study also indicated that project cost is highly influenced by lack of development funds and changes in interest rates. The quality of PPP housing projects in Abuja was found to be influenced by partner selection risks. The study suggested a competitive, transparent, and efficient bid process to eliminate corruption, workable strategies for ensuring the availability of development funds at a cheaper rate and adopting mixed strategy in which government continues to provide social housing to the low-income class while providing the enabling environment for the private sector to thrive.

The objective of the article is to clarify the nature and benefits of public-private partnership and analysis of factors influencing its organization and dissemination in innovation. The usefulness of introducing public-private partnership in the innovation sphere is due to the possibility of combining state regulation of innovation development with the potential of private business, which should be considered as a carrier of managerial, human, and financial capital. Society is interested in the organization of public-private partnership in innovation because the result of achieving its strategic goal would solve several socially important problems, which include employment growth, increasing real incomes, spreading innovation, and accelerating socioeconomic progress. Methodology. During the analysis, public-private partnership was considered as a complex open system with the use of systematic analysis methodology in the study, which allowed to emphasize certain aspects of the specific nature of its operation. Results. Public-private partnership in innovation is a form of relationship that arises between the public sector and private business on a medium- or long-term basis and involves the creation of innovation infrastructure, production, and distribution of innovation products on mutually beneficial terms, which is achieved by providing a specific form financing, the common interests of the participants and the distribution of possible risks between them. The organization of public-private partnership, especially in the field of innovation, is influenced by a significant number of factors among which it is useful to outline institutional, legislative, economic, internal, and external, direct, and indirect. The institutional factor determines the nature of institutional policy that affects public-private partnerships. Legislative factors provide for legal regulation of the establishment and further operation of public-private partnership in the field of innovation. The economic factors influencing the organization of public-private partnership include credit, tax (tax holidays, reduction of income tax rates, tax credit), investment and depreciation (reduction of depreciation, increase of depreciation rates) policy. Practical implications. As a result of the analysis, several benefits that both the public sector and private business receive from the spread of public-private partnerships in innovation are outlined. The reflection of institutional, legislative, economic, and other factors of the organization of public-private partnership will allow to consider their influence for the intensification of innovative activity as a basis for increasing the competitiveness of the national economy. Value/originality. The use of systematic analysis allowed to outline the main factors that contribute or conversely the spread of public-private partnership in innovation in Ukraine. Considering their action will minimize the negative manifestations and make full use of the positive aspects, which will be an important factor in enhancing innovative growth on the basis of public-private partnership. Economic and other factors of public-private partnership will allow to take into account their impact to enhance innovation as a basis for increasing the competitiveness of the national economy.

The thrust of this study is to reveal exogenous factors limiting effective infrastructure maintenance in the core of Akure. In the course of the study, 425 questionnaires were administered and retrieved from residents in this locale. Variables in this set of questionnaire were investigated analytically using Excel and SPSS software. Findings from the study revealed that attitude of misuse of facilities, ignorance, indiscipline, insufficient fund and age of facilities were the major antithetical factors affecting infrastructure maintenance in the core of Akure. It was equally unveiled empirically that bureaucratic reporting process, lack of discernible maintenance culture and poor response to maintenance request contributed to infrastructure maintenance challenges in the area. In view of this, the study recommends public enlightenment program for residents in this area to make judicious use of infrastructure assets in their domain. It equally advocates creative synergy between government and the governed through public-private partnership (PPP) initiative for effective maintenance and prompt repairs or replacement of ageing facilities in this locale.
