“…However, there is a clear need for quantitative methods to address PPP projects' socio-economic sustainability performance. These quantitative methods need to take all the PPP participants' contributions and expected outcomes into account to examine and improve the socio-economic performance outcomes because the participant's contributions to the PPP projects substantially impact the concession and the socio-economic sustainability performance (Hussain et al, 2022, Nkurunziza, 2021). Every participant in the PPP agreement has different goals and expectations.…”

The participants of the public–private partnership projects have different parts in developing the concessions, hence different perspectives and goals. Besides, the public–private partnership concession agreement has many parameters and components, and a change in one component will have a considerable impact on other components. Thus, determining the optimal value for different concession parameters by providing a series of feasible contribution options was investigated in this paper using two different multi-objective optimization models: genetic algorithm and Thompson sampling. Two case studies (the US I-495 and the I-4 Ultimate) were used to construct and validate the results of the model. The model results showed that the socio-economic sustainability performance increases as the private equity increases and the public equity decreases. The results also showed that the socio-economic sustainability performance increases as the concession price (user-fee) decreases. Having these contribution options could facilitate the decision-making process for both the public and private parties. The genetic algorithm model obtained faster optimization results when compared to the Thompson sampling model; however, the Thompson sampling obtained better results. Moreover, the use of the model could improve the socio-economic sustainability performance of the public–private partnership projects.

“…They involve inter-disciplinary coordination among political and legal institutions as well as technological sectors for a multi-dimensional strategy with maximum impact (Peter and Swilling 2012). The sensitivity to local requirements was deemed vital for success of the urban sustainability approaches put forward, particularly in low-income areas, stressing the need for frameworks to be holistic and flexible in nature (Hussain et al 2022).…”

“…Energy provision is found to be 'a key enabler' for the alleviation and prevention of poverty (UNDP 2005). More specifically, modern methods of energy supply and access to electricity play a pivotal part in the sustainable development of emerging countries (Hussain et al 2022;Maqbool et al 2020a). The concept of energisation is a broader approach to electrification that focuses on improving energy provision and empowering communities in a way that encourages sustainable electrification and aims to reduce the reliance on high-carbon fuels (Nissing and von Blottnitz 2010).…”

“…Interventions are needed from national state and local governments on policies regarding energy use in commercial industry, finance, residential housing sectors as well as land planning and overall economic development (Esmaeili et al 2020). Some developing countries are still struggling to provide a secure energy supply to all areas; moving forward, the focus needs to be on providing low carbon energy supply for all, but most significantly at urban levels where populations are highly concentrated and rapidly growing Hussain et al 2022).…”

Construction has been highlighted as one sector that could reduce its effect on the environment by implementing more sustainable methodologies. However, there are many different challenges preventing sustainable construction practice, and despite existing research providing advice for carbon emission reduction, these practices are being somewhat neglected. The purpose of this research is to investigate the challenges surrounding sustainable construction practice and the current knowledge on energy security and project management practices that can aid climate change mitigation. The design methodology of this study involves a thorough literature review of existing knowledge on the subject matter followed by primary research. The survey conducted collected quantitative data of 160 valid responses via an online closed ended questionnaire using snowball sampling methods from the construction and engineering professionals working in the UK construction industry. The study found that most participants agree with the encouragement of sustainable construction practices, but are generally unsure about what they can do. Factors such as government involvement and organisation culture have some significance but will rely on further research in order to assess specific influencing variables. The study contributes to existing research on factors surrounding project management and identifies and plethora of areas of improvement, that can be formed into a holistic approach to the current construction industry practice.

“…However, the absence of these projects poses severe socio-economic problems for the local communities, for example, devastating impact on living standards, adverse impact on quality of life, more expenditure on healthcare and education [4], lower economic growth, and increased unemployment [5]. The importance of infrastructure projects in a community's life necessitated taking necessary action for community development [3,6] in rural regions.…”

Public construction infrastructure projects have been recognized as one of the fundamental tools in enhancing community socio-economic conditions for community development. The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the impacts of socio-economic factors on community development of rural regions. Through a questionnaire survey administrated in Pakistan, public construction practitioners’ views were sought and evaluated. Empirical support for the argument originated from the data collected from 213 respondents in Pakistan’s public construction industry. The questionnaire’s data were evaluated employing the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The study’s findings showed that economic and social factors influence the community development of rural regions. The result obtained from PLS-SEM proposed a more viable method to realize community development and objectives. The study’s results have offered precious lessons for local authorities, policymakers, and project stakeholders to strengthen the drive for achieving community development goals. Strategies supporting community development in rural regions are indispensable for local community development. This study provides empirical confirmation for the understanding and combining the community development concept; it illuminates absent knowledge about community development, especially in rural regions. This is one of the few studies investigating the influencing dimensions of community development in rural regions. To the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first research article providing empirical evidence of the influencing dimensions of community development in rural regions in a developing country.
