Constructing a Risk‐Sharing Framework for Sponge City PPP Projects from the Perspective of the Individual Participant

Abstract

Construction of sponge city PPP projects is perceived as a feasible measure for achieving the sustainable urbanization. To ensure the success of sponge city PPP projects, reasonable sharing of risks among participants, which has remained scarce and unscientific, is becoming an urgent problem to be solved. In order to enable the individual participant to accurately grasp the situation of his own risks, specifically for the individual participant, this paper constructs a risk-sharing framework for sponge city PPP projects. Firstly, this paper identifies critical risk factors by the Delphi method. The final risk evaluation index system is established from the perspectives of political risks, economic risks, construction risks, and operational risks, which include 16 secondary risk factors. Then, risk factors’ weights are determined based on a combination weight method (combining the G1 method and the C-OWA operator). Next, in order to share risks reasonably, the first step is to obtain the risk factors that can be borne by one participant and define the risk factors that need to be shared among participants through the method of combining GCA method and TOPSIS method. The second step is to build a model based on the utility theory to determine the proportion of risks shared among participants. Finally, the sponge city PPP project in Qingshan demonstration area of Wuhan city as an example is employed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the constructed risk-sharing framework. All the aforementioned studies are expected to provide helpful references for reasonable risk sharing in sponge city PPP projects.

“…Among them, the stationary tests mainly rely on the ADF unit root inspection, the white noise test is mainly to prove that the original sequence is a nonwhite noise sequence, and the residual is a white noise sequence [10].…”

Evolutionary game analysis of opportunistic behavior of Sponge City PPP projects: a perceived value perspective

“…According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance, the investment in SC construction is about 29 million US dollars per square kilometer. With the advancement of SC projects, it is difficult to meet the construction demand solely relying on government financial investment 10 . Specific implementation details of the construction area are given in Fig.…”

“…Although PPP mode provides an effective way to promote the construction of SC, there are potential opportunistic risks hidden in its actual operation. Compared with other projects, SC PPP projects have the characteristics of multiple participating departments, strong public welfare, and long construction period, which leads to the complexity and difficulty in controlling the project participants and is the main sticking point in promoting the further development of SC projects 10 . As the main stakeholders of SC projects, the expected results between the government and private companies are different 14 .…”

“…The weighting result of a single expert makes it difficult to avoid the contingency, not reflecting the overall opinion of the whole industry. OWA enables the integration and generalization of multiple experts' weighting results; the method assumes that the weighting results of the same indicator obey normal distribution, and the processing of group decision results ensures the integrity of weights information [64].It should be noted that the number of experts met the requirements of OWA and the Delphi method [65].…”
