An empirical questionnaire survey was conducted in Gujarat (India). The survey respondents were asked to rate eighteen factors which contribute to delivering successful PPP projects. The findings from this survey were compared with the results achieved by Esther Cheung in a similar survey conducted in the Hong Kong and Australia. These top five success factors were therefore found to be important for contributing to successful PPP projects irrespective of geographical locations.

Risk management (RM) has been developed to curtain risks associated with construction projects. However, there is no consensus of what factors should constitute RM for construction projects. Therefore, this paper scrutinises preceding studies on the theme of RM and establish core risk management factors (RMFs) that are indispensable to make the concept valuable in the construction industry (CI). A literature search related to RM was conducted in order to identify common RMF. It was indicated that there is still misunderstanding and disagreement over the factors that should constitute RM in construction. However, the RMFs of organisational environment, defining objectives, resource requirement, risk measurement, risk identification, risk assessment, risk response and action planning, communication, monitoring, review and continuous improvement dominate the literature. Identifying RMF that can effortlessly be understood and implemented will contribute to ameliorating the current RM status and boosting the body of knowledge.

Preserve the sustainability of villages will positively impact cities in the long run. Residents of villages have to suffer more than that of residents of urbanites for livelihood. The difficulties of livelihood may be forcing rural population to migrate to the urban areas. The migration is also unidirectional as they continue to live in cities in the hope of landing better jobs. In the long term, this leads to desertion from villages, dilution of village culture, reduced land under cultivation and, consequently, farm output. Human society is developing with rapid acceleration and achieved various successes for making its livelihood better. This paper deals with study and development of village as a smart village by delivering all required services to its residence and businesses in each possible manner. Irrespective of Indian priorities being different, there is need to understand these development paradigms from bottom. In this context the Smart village concept needs to be looked from different perspectives. This concept will play crucial role in minimizing the gap between urban and rural development, which ultimately helps in reducing migration from one place to another place as residents themselves see and get opportunities at their places for betterment and development.

Even though it shows fast growth is faced by different challenges that retards from complete on time and on budget and quality. The objective of this study is to identify the challenges that impact building construction and giving recommendation to the most critical challenges. A structured questionnaire has been distributed to 50 engineers in the profession from contractor side. Among the 50 respondents data has been collected from 34 (68%) respondents. The responses was analyzed by relative importance index method (RII). The result shows that out of 25 factors the top five most are Delay in land acquisition, Lack of cost planning, Shifting of existing utilities, slow decision-making by owners, and Payment delays by owner.

After doing comparison of the previous research and the analysis of the questionnaires, four findings are identified. Firstly, the real estate is among the most impressive, dynamic industry, but one of the most high-risk, which has a bad reputation for risk. Therefore, risk management in an efficient manner is an important part of the decision making process for all real estate companies. Secondly, with the further development of real estate industry of India, the Indian real estate companies are in urgent need of a scientific risk management. Thirdly, the risks in the Indian real estate sector have their own characteristics; the Indian real estate companies must assess and integrate the technology risk, when applied to core business, according to these characteristics. Fourth, it is recommended that the Indian government, universities, insurance companies, Indian real estate companies working together to create a culture of cooperation for the development of risk management in Indian real estate sector.

Main PPP project contributors in Indian PPP road projects were polled via questionnaire. A literature review was used to select fifteen favourable characteristics and thirteen unfavourable factors for the questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis is used to analyze the data that was collected. The elimination of government financial restraints, project cost and time management, the reduction of government funds committed to capital investment, improved maintainability and accelerated project development are the key positive characteristics that draw PPP in Indian road projects. Excessive participation restrictions, protracted negotiating delays, ambiguity surrounding government objectives and evaluation standards, a lack of employment possibilities, and a lack of experience and the necessary skills make PPP undesirable. Both the public and private sectors can benefit from PPP in various ways. All sectors must make decisions based on proper assessment criteria during the project development stage. The decision-makers of PPP projects benefit early on from thoroughly understanding both positive and negative elements.

However, the Real Estate (RE) market of India is still in the embryonic phase and juvenile. In the context of the real estate projects, it is a general situation observed that such projects cannot meet the target as the Indian real estate companies are deficient in scientific management technology to confront the risks. The research paper aims to focus mainly on constraints and demurral of Risk Management (RM) in RE firms of India to investigate findings for the same in the Indian Real estate market and further focusing on RE projects of Ahmedabad. The paper is mostly founded on an overview of individuals who are straightforwardly or firmly identified with the administration and the RE business in India. The questionnaire survey shall be targeted over the five prime territories of Ahmedabad. This research further highlights to concerned identified primary critical risk factors (by Criticality Index Method) influencing the residential real estate market and then developing a framework for assessing the factors carrying out the quantitative analysis using various analytical methods of SPSS software, Factor analysis, ANOVA and Post-Hoc Test. The validation of the results has been done through a survey of experienced experts. The critical risks identified based on the questionnaire survey are modeled through the decision tree diagram.

The objective of this paper is to identify and evaluate perceptions of VFM factors affecting Indian road projects undertaken by PPP. Eighteen VFM factors were shortlisted through a literature survey and were validated with experienced professionals. A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the most important VFM factors and was grouped into three categories: financial implications, the expertise of the private sector, and contract efficiency using factor analysis. Important VFM factors were identified using the Importance Index Method. The perception was analyzed with various statistical tools. The findings from this study provide more information and understanding about VFM in an early stage, which will be helpful for decision making about PPP.
