The huge financial requirement of essential transport infrastructure system has challenged the availability of government funding. To fill the fiscal gap, public-private partnerships (PPP) framework has been applied as a promising mechanism. The success of PPP projects, however, is significantly influenced by a number of critical factors. Therefore, an optimum and comprehensive evaluation of projects, reflecting critical risks, supporting investment decisions, has been highly demanded by both the public and private sector. Various works, in previous studies, have been spreading scientific models assessing risks in the construction industry, and some of them focused on the area of PPP. However, the majority of published methods just concentrated on addressing and leveling risks, and there is a lack of application in evaluating and comparing different PPP projects, as investment options, with regards to key issues. Hence, in the situation of limited budget, the public and private partners may struggle with deciding the most potential alternative. To overcome this real-world challenge, this paper, by proposing a mathematical model, attempts to optimize investment selection by evaluating different projects' riskiness with the focus on transport projects. Different actual PPP transport projects in Vietnam were employed as case studies to analyze the practicality of the proposed application.

<p>Eastern philosophy appeared very early in history with two typical philosophies, India and China. These are the two countries with the earliest and most influential culture and ideology in the region. Studying the entire Eastern philosophical thoughts, we can easily see that the problem of man stands out. During the process of formation and development, Chinese philosophy has taken people and human-related issues as the object of study. Theories on humans are very rich and diverse in order to clarify the human issues in many different aspects. Therefore, the article focuses on analyzing the human perspective in some basic theories to clarify the content of human theory: from the origin of formation, human nature, human’s inherent character to the development of human personality to adapt to the social community in which people live in Eastern philosophy.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0870/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
