“…The SEM is used to test the relationship between observed and latent variables by analyzing the collected data. This method is an important tool in identifying the relationship between key factors [66]. For example, Ju adopted SEM to identify the impact factors of the logistics service supply chain for sustainable performance [67].…”

In the last decade, the rapid growth of China’s economy and population has generated a large demand for housing. Increasingly high prices have become the main obstacle for homeownership, especially for the young generation. In this study, we investigate the determinants of rental housing among the young generation in Chinese cities. A theoretical model and hypotheses were proposed by extending the theory of planned behavior (TPB). An empirical analysis was conducted via the structural equation model validation to reveal the following conclusions. (1) Attitude towards behavior (perceived usefulness and perceived usability) are the most important factors influencing renting behavior. (2) Mandatory policies and regulatory pressures promote renting behavior. (3) The government’s economic incentives have a significant impact on perceptual behavior control and indirectly affect behavioral intentions through perceptual behavior control. Based on the above conclusions, this study proposed recommendations for the government and businesses. This study contributed to existing theory and practice by providing useful insights into the influences on the young generation’s renting intentions. Furthermore, these findings provide the government with implications for facilitating the sustainability of the housing market.

“…On the other hand, Shen et al highlighted that infrastructure projects can also balance social disparity and improve regional competitiveness in developed and developing countries [9]. Numerous scholars argued that the benefits of infrastructure projects for society are remarkable [37,38], but their long-range sustainability performance is sometimes neglected [39].…”

“…The shortage of government fiscal funds and the constraint of managerial experience have resulted in the rapid development of PPP mode for establishing and operating infrastructure projects [9,39]. PPPs emerged when public sectors cooperated with private sectors to construct large-scale projects on the basis of mutual trust, which is different from hierarchical relationships [40].…”

“…Scholars have also analyzed factors that lower the sustainability performance of infrastructure projects [39]. Ezeah indicated that unbalanced relationship among local, state, and private sectors, low funding efficiency, weak legal framework, and polices without clear strategies for realization are the main limitations of sustainability performance [57].…”

“…As SEM is widely used in numerous research areas, including social science, economics, marketing, management, and behavioral science, it has been proven to be efficient for analyzing and testing the causal relationship between observed and latent variables since the 1980s [73,74]. This method plays an excellent role in identifying key indicators and factors [39]. For example, Jiao et al adopted SEM to identify the critical factors for sustainable urbanization in a case study of China [30].…”

Investigating the Sustainability Performance of PPP-Type Infrastructure Projects: A Case of China

In China, the demand for public infrastructure projects is high due to the acceleration of urbanization and the rapid growth of the economy in recent years. Infrastructures are mainly large scale, so local governments have difficulty in independently completing financing work. In this context, public sectors often seek cooperation from private sectors, in which public-private partnership (PPP) is increasingly common. Although numerous studies have concentrated on sustainable development, the unsustainability performances of infrastructures are often reported on various media. Furthermore, studies on the sustainability performances of PPP-type infrastructure (PTI) projects are few from the perspective of private sectors' behaviors. In this study, we adopted the modified theory of planned behavior and the structure equation model and conducted a questionnaire survey with 258 respondents for analyzing the sustainable behaviors of private sectors. Results indicated that behavioral attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm interact significantly. They have direct positive effects on behavioral intention and then indirectly influence actual behavior through this intention. Actual sustainable behaviors of private sectors have significantly positive effects on the sustainable development of cities. We offer theoretical and managerial implications for public and private sectors on the basis of the findings to ensure and promote the sustainability performances of PTI projects.
