Abstract

Purpose - Despite the fact that extensive studies on PPPs have focused on risk identification and classification, research still lacks concentration on studying the latent structure of risks in BOT transportation projects, especially in developing countries. The research was carried out in Vietnam and aimed at exploring the underlying relationships among risks in the context of BOT transportation projects. Design/methodology/approach - A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the perception of stakeholders regarding the probability of occurrence and the severity of impact of risks related to BOT transportation projects. Factor analysis was performed based on a total of 40 risks. Findings – Seven risk groups were formed as a result of factor analysis, namely “projects’ viability and political-regulatory risks”, “macroeconomic risks”, “projects' feasibility study and market risks”, “financial risks”, “organization/coordination and force majeure risks”, “tolling, contractual, approvals risks” and “media and land expropriation risks”. Originality/value – The research contributes to the current body of knowledge by providing deep insight into the structure of risks in BOT transportation projects in Vietnam through exploring the underlying relationships among risks, to form a latent risk structure from practical viewpoints. The findings are beneficial for involved stakeholders and policymakers to set up and propose suitable management strategies and related policies.
