Evaluation of the successful criteria of public-privatepartnership in the development of Shiraz city

 New urban needs and urban development have caused central governments to face a lack of financial resources to provide urban services. This issue, especially in the field of financing urban projects, has attracted the attention of the private sector and the public sector, and in particular, the municipalities. The main objective of this research is to understand how much of the municipalities are prepared and willing to use PPP in urban development projects and how well they know how they can be implemented, which may affect the success of the project.

This research is designed to identify the criteria and opportunities for the successful implementation of PPP in urban development. The method of doing the work was a questionnaire and conducted interviews with experts and investors who invested in public projects through public-private partnership, as well as municipal construction contractors who were willing to participate in ppp projects. According to Cochran method, sampling volume was estimated at 104 samples.

According to Kendall's fit test and Friedman test, the results indicate that among the factors of readiness of organizations for laws and regulations, they have had the highest rank in the success of urban development projects. The development of guides and information resources in this area is one of the effective measures for capacity building and eliminating possible ambiguities and misunderstandings about public-private partnerships.
