“…Populations of large carnivores like wolves, function on massive scales of many thousand square kilometers making it difficult to succeed conservation on the traditional scales of protected areas. Coordination among all management agencies and cooperation at international, national and local level should be established in order to safeguard biodiversity conservation in N2K sites (Mallard and François 2013). This study shows that roadless protected sites and sites free of anthropogenic disturbance and with good availability of natural prey constitute priority areas for wolf persistence and should be protected from any new human interference.…”

“…This is done by mapping wolf presence across the N2K network and by contrasting the characteristics of the sites hosting wolves with a set of documented wolf habitat preferences. The landscape level is where most urgent policy and management issues arise (Tassinari et al 2013), therefore such a method could be applied to monitor change, prioritize conservation action, and also inform management activities in an early decision-making stage (Marboutin et al 2011;Mallard and François 2013). Through this approach priority sites are identified and recommendations are made for the conservation of the wolf in connection with the social and political realities of Greece.…”

The wolf (Canis lupus) is used as a case study to rate Natura 2000 sites in Greece based on preferred wolf habitat characteristics and test whether the network is suitable for their conservation. Road density, agricultural area, site area, connectivity, food availability (i.e., presence of natural prey), and elevation in 237 sites are combined in a logistic regression model. The occurrence of the wolf's natural prey was the most prevalent factor determining wolf presence, followed by agricultural cover. Considering the current status of these features at N2K site level, most sites currently hosting wolves (85.7%) have good or excellent prospects for the long-term presence of the wolf. On the contrary, 11 sites which now have wolves are predicted to be ineffective in keeping them in the future due to the absence of wild ungulates and their high agricultural coverage. Four sites with no wolf presence currently have excellent prospects to host wolves in the future. Roadless sites are a priority for protection and retaining their current condition is strongly suggested. The proposed approach aims to detect gaps in protection for the wolf and identify priority sites in need of mitigation actions. It can also assist the assessment of conservation policies in Greece and elsewhere toward accomplishing set goals in protected areas. By focusing on wolf protection, we hope to increase agencies' attention to deal with conservation effectiveness, especially in cases like Greece, where a number of sites are insufficiently known and protected and management measures are not properly implemented.

“…Based on the results of the analysis and secondary data: [18]; [20], the preparation of the X-Y Toll Road project risk assessment can be stated that: the results of risk analysis on the planning of the construction of the X-Y toll road from an investment perspective show that this project very profitable because it will be able to synergize with the previously planned infrastructure supported by investors with very strong funding. In the pre-construction stage, the Risk Factor (FR) in the High Category on the elements of land availability, the compensation process, and concerns about the number of brokers/land brokers.…”

“…There are delays and budget overruns due to unique circumstances [16], hidden transaction costs, or disputes between parties [17]. There is the involvement of many workers in toll road projects, environmental factors with heavy terrain, several heavy materials and equipment, complex construction operations, multiinterface, and complex management activities [18].…”

“…Based on the toll road risk analysis guidelines, there is an allocation of risk between the government and the private sector: [18] The allocations of risk are based on the government's respective burdens and responsibilities and the private sector. With the same method, analysis is carried out at the Construction and Post-Construction stages.…”

The PPP scheme is carried out in Indonesia to procure public infrastructure but is constrained by the government's limited funds. Risk assessment is very important for investors to do to find out the uncertainty that can occur in investing their funds in infrastructure. This study aims to assess the Risk of Feasibility on the X - Y Toll Road, where the location is part of the East Java Province economic development acceleration program by President Regulation number 80 of 2019. The assessment carried out includes risk analysis in the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction stage. The data used are primary data and secondary data. From the assessment results, it was found that most of the assessment points were categorized as medium risk, and there was a little high risk. Still, this project is very profitable because it will be able to synergize with the previously planned infrastructure. The X-Y toll road is still possible by paying attention to risk factors and complying with risk mitigation efforts. The toll road procurement scheme with Public-Private Partnership (PPP) already has a robust legal rule and has been guaranteed in terms of security, and this scheme is very potential to be implemented.
