Abstract: Government has approved the hybrid annuity model (HAM) for building National Highways (NH) to speed up the construction of roads in the country by renewing interest of private developers in highway projects. 40% the Project Cost is to be provided by the Government as Construction Support during the construction period and the balance 60% as annuity payments over the operations period along with interest thereon to the concessionaire. Execution of hybrid annuity model (HAM) projects, which is the preferred mode of awarding by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), is largely on schedule with about 60% of projects, covering 3,200 km of roads, completed on time. The rest of the projects, however, are delayed largely due to various reasons. In order to identify and analysis of delay causes in highway projects of HAM model, this study provides a questionnaire survey-based study. Land acquisition delay is found as the most severe delay cause of highway projects of HAM model. Waste of time in controlling the traffic is found as the least severe delay cause of highway projects of HAM model. The study is supposed as useful to HAM construction managers for delay analysis of highway projects. Keywords: Hybrid annuity model, Highway projects, Delay analysis, Questionnaire survey.

AbstractRoad construction projects for public use, usually involve many locations of land owned by communities with ownership rights. The construction of public facilities made by the government prior to construction must carry out the stages of land acquisition as contained in Law No. 2 of 2012 concerning land acquisition for development in the public interest. The research method used is normative research by using the statutory approach and concept analysis approach. The results showed that the city government provided compensation for the location of land that would be affected by the construction of public facilities. The mechanism of land acquisition or land acquisition in the city is carried out by providing compensation to the value of the land price that will be released in an appropriate and fair manner based on article 9 paragraph (2) of Law Number 2 of 2012. Land issues so far are very relevant to be studied together and considered in depth in relation to policies in the field of land because at the level of policy implementation that has been shown so far has neglected the structural aspects of land tenure, which in turn caused various disputes. Keywords: Compensation, Land Acquisition, Property Rights, Public Interest.AbstrakProyek pembuatan jalan untuk kepentingan umum, biasanya melibatkan banyak lokasi tanah yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat yang berstatus hak milik.  Pembuatan sarana umum yang dibuat oleh pemerintah tersebut sebelum dibangun harus melakukan tahapan pembebasan lahan sebagaimana yang termuat dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 2 tahun 2012 tentang pengadaan tanah bagi pembangunan untuk kepentingan umum. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian normatif dengan melakukan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan (Statute Approach) dan pendekatan analisis konsep (Conceptual Approach). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemerintah kota memberikan ganti kerugian atas lokasi tanah yang akan terkena pembuatan sarana umum tersebut.  Mekanisme pembebasan tanah atau pengadaan tanah di kota dilakukan dengan memberikan ganti kerugian terhadap nilai harga tanah yang akan dibebaskan secara sesuai dan adil berdasarkan pasal 9 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2012. Persoalan tanah selama ini sangat relevan dan dipertimbangkan secara mendalam dalam kaitannya dengan kebijakan dibidang pertanahan karena ditingkat implementasi kebijakan yang diperlihatkan selama ini telah mengabaikan aspek struktural penguasaan tanah yang pada akhirnya menimbulkan berbagai macam sengketa.Kata Kunci : Ganti Kerugian, Hak Milik, Kepentingan Umum, Pembebasan Tanah.

The goal of this study is to examine the failure of operational public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects in India. The case study based analysis is done of eleven operational PPP projects from infrastructure subsectors like roads, metro rail, seaports, and power projects to investigate various risks faced during the life cycle of projects. The construction risks like land acquisition delay, change in scope, delay in financial closure resulting in time and cost overrun, revenue risk of not getting adequate revenue during operation phase and legal disputes between the authority and the concessionaire are prominent risks observed in these projects. Mitigating these risks through efficient life cycle contract management and appropriate allocation of risk creates adequate risk-adjusted financial returns to the private developers and value for money for the government. The study concludes that failure in contract and risk management in case of the majority of operational projects resulting in disappointing financial returns is the major reason for the private developer's apathy towards participation in a once successful PPP program in India.

To minimize the adverse effects of highway construction hazards, it becomes imperative to evaluate the risk before planning and manage the risks. From design and planning until the project is completed, risks factors are present everywhere. To improve the effectiveness of a highway construction project, it becomes necessary to reduce the risk factor to a defined assessment for timely, safe, and economical completion. Identifying, classifying, and assessing different hazards in the design of highway a project is the focus of this research. Risks from legal proceedings, such as contract disputes, disputes between the government and other parties, land acquisition, and so on, are assessed, and cases are reported. After that, a site survey will be conducted among professionals to evaluate the likelihood of an event and the risk of impact. Extreme, High, Medium, Low, and Minimum are the five risk classes that must be assigned to risk. Risk factors are also rated according to their severity. In order to reduce the cost of the project, the maximum probability of the event and the maximum impact risk must be minimized. The most significant risk is as follows: Money/Funds, Heritage issues, Concerns around mineral mining, Utilities were not moved in a timely manner, Skilled Labour, Cost of land acquisition is uncertain, Schedule for land acquisition.

Land acquisition for public purposes, including for the construction of railroad infrastructure, is a matter that is proposed by all countries in the world. The Indonesian government or the Malaysian royal government needs land for railroad infrastructure development. To realize this, a regulation was made that became the legal umbrella for the government or royal government. The people must agree to regulations that require it. Land acquisition for public use in Malaysia can be completed quickly in Indonesia. The influencing factor is the different perceptions of the understanding of what are in the public interest, history and legal systems of the two countries as well as the people's reaction from the two countries

The choice of materials is crucial in responding to the increasing embodied carbon (EC) impacts of buildings. Building professionals involved in material selection for construction projects have a vital role to play in this regard. This paper aimed to explore the extent to which building professionals in Sri Lanka considered EC as a material selection criterion. A questionnaire survey was conducted among a sample of building professionals in Sri Lanka. The results indicated that the consideration of EC as a material selection criterion remained low among key professionals, such as architects, engineers, and sustainability managers, despite their reasonable influencing powers and knowledge of EC. Those respondents who had considered EC as a selection criterion said they had been primarily driven by green building rating systems and previous experience. Those respondents who had not considered EC during material selection commonly reported that they had been prevented from doing so by the lack of regulations and the lack of alternative low carbon materials. Respondents believed that the involvement of actors, such as the government, professional bodies, environmental organizations, activist groups, and the public, may be significant in promoting the greater consideration of EC during material selection.

Agricultural land acquisition for urbanization (ALAFU) has strongly impacted agriculture in Vietnam during the last decades. Given the mixed data obtained from a survey with 50 households who lost 50% of their farmland area (in-depth interviews, a group-focused discussion and observation) this study shows the different impacts of ALAFU on each agricultural activity of affected household by comparing before and after ALAFU. Rice cultivation and animal breeding have sharply declined, but potted flower plantation (PFP) has quickly grown and is the main income of 34% of surveyed households. Rice cultivation has declined not only as a result of agricultural land acquisition, which has resulted in the loss of rice land, but also as a result of urbanization, which has resulted in rice land abandonment. Conversely, PFP is growing due to advantages associated with urbanization, such as a good consumer market and upgraded infrastructure. However, whether they are declining or increasing, all agricultural activities have to face challenges related to the shortcomings in agricultural land allocation and agricultural development plans. This study suggests that if ALAFU projects are continued, the government should evaluate agricultural development and forecast farmland abandonment after ALAFU. Simultaneously, they should put more effort into maintaining agriculture in the form of peri-urban or urban agriculture, which is significant for sustainable development in affected communities.
