| dc.description.abstract | In response to global financial difficulties, nations have turned to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode as a solution, enhancing the management efficiency of government and private capital investments. PPPs can be generally categorized into “Concession” and “Private Finance Initiative (PFI).” In the past, our country has mainly utilized the concession system, emphasizing self-liquidation, for PPP projects. For public infrastructure projects with low self-liquidation but high public interest, the government encourages investments by increasing ancillary facilities or subsidizing loan interest. At the end of 2022, the government amended the Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects, added Article 9-1, which introduced a paid PPP mechanism for acquiring public services (paid PPP), and issued the “Government Paid PPP Policy Assessment Operational Guidelines,” detailing the assessment framework, items, and procedures. However, the paid PPP mechanism requires both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, classifying public infrastructure projects into Type A and Type B. Currently, only the Ministry of Finance has experience with Type A policy assessments. There is a need for comprehensive frameworks, procedures, and items for evaluating Type B public infrastructure projects, particularly for quantitative assessments. This study targets on improving the policy assessment works for the paid PPP mechanism. By reviewing evaluation cases of Type A public infrastructure projects, and domestic and international methods, this study proposed an enhanced assessment framework, qualitative and quantitative assessment structures and items, and procedures. Verification through an urban road maintenance case and expert interviews shows the proposed approach is more systematic than current assessments, helping identify the necessity, urgency, and effectiveness, serving as a reference for the future execution and drafting of policy assessments for the government′s paid acquisition of public services. | en_US |
