Determining the effective factors on the implementation of private sector participation in transferable public-private partnership projects in the national budget using fuzzy Delphi approaches and structural equations

The lack of financing support has been one of the causes of delays in the country's developmental projects. In recent years, due to the lack of financial resources and the need to develop infrastructures, governments have used the public-private partnership method to finance projects. In this study, using Wangri (2017) and Program and Budget Organization (2019) studies, the factors affecting the implementation of private sector participation in publicprivate partnership projects were extracted and investigated by two methods of fuzzy Delphi and structural equations. The final sample of the study included 266 experts who were non-randomly selected in 2020. The findings showed that the variables of limited access to financial resources, allocation of resources to facilitate the process of transferring and participation in projects, inadequate mechanism for determining the cost of infrastructure projects, insufficient integration in laws and regulations related to this area and the volume and size of the project on the percentage of private sector participation in participatory projects, has had the most significant negative impact on the implementation of this method of financing.
