“…For this purpose, communication and negotiation (Fageha & Aibinu, 2013;Kähkönen, 1999;Taylan et al, 2014;Winch & Kelsey, 2005;Yang, Zou, et al, 2015), transparency, and information sharing (Lameijer et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2016;Taylan et al, 2014) are essential. Effective participation in the feasibility process includes challenges such as coordination difficulties of stakeholders, leading to increases in time and cost (Kähkönen, 1999;Taylan et al, 2014); low stakeholder motivation (Liu et al, 2016;Winch & Kelsey, 2005); low stakeholder capability and awareness (Taylan et al, 2014); increased risk (Yang, Chen, et al, 2015); political pressure (Aaltonen et al, 2015;Sarhadi et al, 2018); severe conflicts of interest among government, public, and executive stakeholders (Yuan, 2017); and, finally, lack of adequate participation mechanisms (Innes & Booher, 2004). In this regard, this research is concentrated on the participation manner of stakeholders, which can pave the way for structural and procedural reforms, leading to a sustainable project.…”
