“…Nevertheless, political connections and a combination of subsidy and tax cuts have still managed to attract private partners' participation in SLCTs [89,96,97] such as the Hot Springs Tianheng Sports and Leisure Town, Xujiaya Airplane Town, and Tonglu Football Town. This finding also indicates the significant role that public support plays in attracting the participation of private partners, which is in accord with other studies [102][103][104]. Nonetheless, Boyer et al [121] and Ye [97] asserted that public involvement only increases the costs of PPPs and has little effect on expediting project delivery.…”

“…Among these factors, private partners are most concerned with return mechanisms [61,91]. Furthermore, fair risk allocations [103,109,110], powerful financial strength [102,103,108], and public support [102][103][104][105] have proven to be key elements in attracting the participation of private partners in PPP projects. Ye and Shi [102] noted that there is no evidence that public support and the institutional environment can affect an enterprise's willingness to participate in PPPs.…”

The Sports and Leisure Characteristic Town (SLCT) has become a reasonable strategy for enhancing the sustainability of new urbanization processes in rural China. Although the Chinese government has issued a series of policies to support the development of SLCTs, limited financial resources are a major obstacle. Thus, public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly encouraged for establishing SLCT projects. However, the factors that significantly influence private partners’ willingness to participate in SLCT PPP projects remain unclear. The authors of this paper conducted expert interviews and questionnaire surveys concerning the SLCT PPP projects that have been implemented in China, identifying 23 factors that can be grouped into five major components using principal component factor analysis. Multiple linear regression was then performed to evaluate the relationships between factors and private partners’ willingness to participate. The results indicated that the factors that critically influence private partners’ willingness to participate include stakeholder factors, the internal factors of private partners, external environmental risk factors, the supporting measure factors of SLCTs, and the locational factors of SLCTs. This work also offers suggestions for encouraging private partners to participate in SLCT PPP projects. This study can provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for government and private partners in order to help them implement sustainable SLCT PPP projects.

“…Although many successful innovations are reported in PPP projects, it is undeniable that innovation is not inherent to PPP, and sometimes PPP in itself poses important barriers for OI. Several studies in our literature review have yielded similar findings that the exclusive government-business interface and the lack of citizen involvement in PPP projects may lead to failed innovations because public preferences and opinions are not represented and thus the design or delivery of public services may deviate from public interests (Nederland and Klijn 2019;Boyer 2018). Research by Nederland and Klijn (2019) suggests that it is the tendering process and the presence of rigid contract in PPPs that block citizen involvement, because the tendering process contains much confidential information on prices and tendering offers of private consortia that is not publicly available, and because after the tendering process, the content of PPP project has been basically determined, leaving little room to consider knowledge and experiences from citizens.…”

“…More than ever, it seems that the importance of formal education has become imperative for the implementation of alternative funding models expected in the next EU programming period 2021-2027, defined by the EU circular economy action plan [1]. Moreover, it is fully in line with recent studies on citizens' inclusiveness in the development of PPP [17].…”

The global economy has been hit by crises in recent decades and the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to great uncertainty in the possibility of a lasting recovery and an energy transition that will enable sustainable green growth. Budgetary constraints impede the regular delivery of public services, especially in developing countries. Energy efficiency and sustainable economic growth in Croatia can be improved with public-partnership models providing public services. However, this concept is often considered as not appropriate due to many misconceptions in public opinion. We analysed a survey of almost 1500 Croatian students with the aim of verifying the importance of formal education in the recognition of realistic aspects of PPP among the population, which represents important social capital. In comparison to other students, students who have been taught about public-private partnership models at university are more likely to recognise certain misconceptions about public-private partnerships and are more likely to think that it is possible to successfully implement such projects in Croatia. Compared with others, students in the field of energy have shown a greater tendency to apply models of public-private partnership in the energy sector, even though these concern the exploitation of natural resources where there is a traditional tendency to protect the autonomy of public governance. Compared to their male colleagues, female students are more prone to misconceptions about PPPs and are less supportive of private management of public infrastructure.
