Abstract

5 Public-private partnership (PPP) has been positioned as a relevant contracting method for developing 6 large-scale infrastructure projects, which entail potentially high-magnitude negative impacts on the 7 environment. The effectiveness of their Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is crucial to 8 achieving sustainable development of these large-scale infrastructure projects. To unravel the drivers 9 for the EIA effectiveness and the multiple combinations built by the complexity of these drivers, this 10 paper analyzes 28 road PPP projects from Colombia employing a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative 11 analysis (fsQCA) approach. This paper decodes conjectural causal links between specific conditions 12 grouped in superordinate clusters (i.e., consultants’ capability, project features, and communities’ 13 participation) and EIA effectiveness dimensions (i.e., normative, procedural, substantive, and 14 transactive). Findings revealed that no single combination of causal conditions ensures 15 multidimensional EIA effectiveness. This study demonstrated that EIA effectiveness relies 16 significantly on the integration of specific features of three external stakeholders: consultants, non17 preferred proponents, and communities. This study constitutes the first empirical multidimensional 18 identification of the combination of conditions that generate EIA effectiveness in road PPPs. 19

公私合作中的环境影响评估有效性：哥伦比亚收费公路项目研究

5公私合作（PPP）已被定位为开发6个大型基础设施项目的相关承包方法，这些项目可能对7个环境产生重大负面影响。环境影响评估的有效性对于这些大型基础设施项目的可持续发展至关重要。为了揭示环评有效性的驱动因素9以及这些驱动因素的复杂性所建立的多重组合，本文采用模糊集定性比较分析（fsQCA）方法分析了哥伦比亚的28个道路PPP项目。本文解码了上级集群中的特定条件12（即顾问的能力、项目特征和社区的参与）与环评有效性维度（即规范性、程序性、实质性和14交易性）之间的推测因果关系。调查结果显示，没有任何单一的因果条件组合可以确保15多层面的环评有效性。这项研究表明，环评的有效性在很大程度上取决于三个外部利益相关者的具体特征的整合：顾问、非17首选支持者和社区。这项研究构成了对道路PPP中产生EIA有效性的条件组合的首次实证多维18识别。19
