Purpose: In the Korean railway infrastructure process, contractors and operators are involved at a later stage, which results in significant inefficiency. This study examines the benefits of early stakeholder involvement in Korean railway infrastructure projects and provides practical guidelines. Design, data and methodology: Literatures and foreign cases are analyzed. Building on the new product development model, we derive propositions explaining the relationship between early stakeholder involvement and the performance of Korean railway infrastructure project. Results: Major propositions include that early involvement of contractor has a positive effect on the project performance by shortening the infrastructure construction period and that early involvement of railway operator has a positive effect on the project performance by improving the effectiveness of railway infrastructure. Four requirements for the success of early stakeholder involvement are addressed. Conclusions: This study suggests that early stakeholder involvement shortens the construction period and improves railway infrastructure effectiveness. Academic contribution is to present the framework on railway infrastructure projects as holistic interactions among stakeholders. Practical contribution is to provide railway policy makers and other business practitioners with policy guidelines to improve railway infrastructure project process and to recommend an open access to relevant data.

Transportation infrastructure is critical to economic growth of a country such as China. Careful evaluation of investments in traffic infrastructure projects is therefore pertinent. As traditional evaluation methods do not consider the uncertainty of future cash flows and mobility during project execution, the real option approach is gradually gaining recognition in the context of valuing construction and infrastructure projects. However, many of the cases only evaluate individual options separately although multiple options often exist in a typical large infrastructure project. Using a highway project in China as a case study, this paper first evaluates a deferment option and a growth option embedded in the project. Subsequently, the values are combined using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process. It is found that the combined value is less than the sum of the two option values. This finding is consistent with the theoretical observations given in past real option literature despite the use of a different approach.

This study attempted to investigate the changes in the perception of local government officials about agricultural infrastructure improvement projects due to the financial policy changes. A total of 141 local government officials were surveyed on the priority, the current status of the agricultural infrastructure improvement projects. Irrigation facilities renovation project and Small drainage improvement project had generally high priority, while Support project of cultivation basis for upland crops in paddy, Large scale land readjustment project, and Upland infrastructure improvement project had low priorities. After the introduction of the block grant system, agricultural infrastructure improvement projects had often been conducted by collecting opinions from local residents. The officials in charge of local governments recognized that the agricultural infrastructure improvement projects were reduced due to lack of financial resources and project potential sites. In response to the changes in the agricultural infrastructure improvement projects, most of the surveys showed that the influence of cities and provinces was strengthened. In addition, respondents most needed to improve the subsidy rate and there were a large number of cases requiring differential support to meet the characteristics of the local government. Therefore, it will be necessary to present a new perspective on the agricultural infrastructure improvement projects and to suggest differentiated projects for each regions.

The governmental attitude toward private investment and financing for infrastructure projects has changed from the initial prohibition to the current encouragement in China, which has been embodied in the legal documents and administrative process. However, the problem of identification, bidding, and approval procedure for privately financed infrastructure projects has been observed in policies and administrative measures promulgated by different or even the same government branches, which is prohibitive factors for smooth project implementation. After analysis of the identification, bidding, and approval process of infrastructure projects, the authors proposed a simplified and alternative procedure and clarified the key points of relevant project documents.

India has accorded a high priority to road infrastructure development through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and it has set a high target for investment inflows. Yet, it is widely held that road/highway infrastructure has not been developing at required pace and that the road infrastructure projects under PPP have been suffering from several hurdles and delays, thereby affecting project success/failure. This paper is an attempt to analyze the critical success/failure factors of road infrastructure projects under PPP in India. A questionnaire survey was conducted among a sample of the stakeholders of road infrastructure projects to identify the critical success/failure factors during all four major project stages using different approaches. Initially, the critical factors were identified through ranking based on the average/mean score. Later, the conventional RII score was used to identify the critical success/failure factors. Finally, the critical success/failure factors were also identified based on the stakeholder-wise ranking of the factors and their convergence. The assessment revealed that there was a greater convergence across the different methods and also that there was greater consensus among project stakeholder on the critical success/failure factors of road PPP projects.

Social conflict surrounding public infrastructure projects has grown because of increasing project complexity and accelerated conflict propagation. This social conflict stems from various concerns ranging from environmental issues to regulatory and compliance requirements resulting in the intervention of various stakeholders with different interests. Against this backdrop, understanding the stakeholders involved and their dynamics is crucial for effective project management and smooth implementation of the project. Therefore, this paper introduces an analytical process utilizing ChatGPT to automatically identify stakeholders involved in the social conflict surrounding the public infrastructure project from news articles. As a result, a stakeholder network is constructed to delve into the complex stakeholder interrelationships and identify key stakeholders of the specific period. To explore the potential of the proposed process, an experimental case study of the Jeju 2^nd Airport project, which suffered from a high level of social conflict, was conducted. The proposed process enables timely analysis of the conflict situation which is crucial for successful conflict management. This study highlights the significance of a systemic approach to timely stakeholder analysis, setting the groundwork for a quantitative and up-to-date investigation of social conflicts around public infrastructure projects.

This paper presents an evaluation of feasibility studies conducted to justify investments in infrastructure projects. An analysis of a previous feasibility study for a highway construction project is presented in this paper with an emphasis on the estimates and forecasts presented in that study in order to weigh expected benefits from the project against expected costs. The forecasted numbers are compared with actual data collected during the operation phase about the usage of the facility. The comparison reveals a huge difference between estimated numbers and actual numbers. Based on the lessons learned from the analyzed case study, recommendations are presented to improve feasibility studies for infrastructure projects including: peer review of feasibility studies; before-and-after feasibility studies; and defined scope and methodology for feasibility studies. Decision makers are advised to take outcomes of feasibility studies for infrastructure projects with extreme caution as some studies may provide erroneous and misleading input to their decisions regarding investment in infrastructure projects.
