“…Social risk, defined as the severity and uncertainty of an activity with respect to human values, which may influence the whole society and lead to social unrest (Aven and Renn, 2009), was prevalent. The Social Insecurity aspect referred to the possible social conflict that might occur, for instance, if the economic compensation of land acquisition and housing demolition was not handled properly (Yang and Kuang, 2019), as well as to resistance against the reactivation plan. The Disaster Factors aspect pertained to the regions or areas with potential of natural disaster that were traversed by the trace route; such factors included geology, hydrometeorology, or even geotechnical factors.…”

Introduction: The National Railway Master Plan (RIPNAS), dated 2018, mentions that the railway network size and railway service capacity for using trains as the main means of transportation can be increased by reactivating non-operational routes and improving the condition of the existing routes. Methods: In our study, we propose the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) method to determine the best option for the reactivated Madiun–Dopolo trace route in East Java, Indonesia. The data obtained were derived from questionnaires filled in by experts in the field. The model used six main criteria: land use, technical aspects, transportation node integration, social insecurity, disaster factors, and funding. Result and Discussion: The analysis reveals that the predominant route selection criterion chosen by the respondents was the Land Use (with a score of 0.25). The least significant Madiun–Dopolo route selection criterion was the Disaster Factors (0.07). Based on the results of weighting the criteria and aggregating the respondent alternatives, the trace route most commonly chosen by the respondents was the Alternative Trace Route (Trace Route 2), with a score of 0.698, while the Existing Trace Route (Trace Route 1) had a score of 0.302. The Alternative Trace Route is longer than the Existing Trace Route, but it will mostly pass through farming regions, which is assumed to create less social conflicts than in the case of Trace Route 1. This also automatically means that Trace Route 2 will need fewer funds in land acquisition.

“…Second, environmental factors: noise and water pollution and dust will lead to environmental pollution and damage. Third, institutional factors: labor contracts and the system of information disclosure are not perfect (Esteves et al , 2012; Song et al , 2015; Zavadskas et al , 2010; Yang and Kuang, 2019). But in the transnational context, there are two other aspects.…”

“…China's social risk assessment has rated social risks and different levels corresponding to different public's coping behaviors. High risk means the majority of the public takes actions that are not conducive to project construction, especially the strong reaction may trigger large-scale mass incidents; medium risk means some members of the public take actions that are not conducive to project construction and strong reactions may trigger individual conflicts; low risk means the majority of the public supports the project construction and a small number of people's adverse behavior can be prevented and resolved through effective work (Gransow and Price, 2019; Yang and Kuang, 2019).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the formation mechanism of the host country people's coping behavior regarding the construction of transnational railways to help engineering managers and decision makers improve their risk management and lead to sustainable transnational railway construction projects.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopted the grounded theory methodology to analyze the news stories reported by “Belt and Road Portal” and “The New York Times” about eight transnational railways. They were China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan (Central Asia), Mecca-to-Medina (West Asia), Hungarian–Serbia (Europe), China–Nepal (South Asia), Bi-Oceanic (South America), Mombasa–Nairobi (Africa), China–Laos (Southeast Asia) and Panama railways (North America). The keywords for news search were the names of each railway. After eliminating the problem sentences with semantic repetition and ambiguity, 2,631 effective sentences were formed to screen the information and code. The process included open, axial and selective coding.FindingsIt was concluded that the core structure of the formation mechanism was “situation,” “influence factor,” “cognition” and “coping behavior.” The country-of-origin image has served as an adjustment function in the analysis for the host country people. Governance strategies were suggested focusing on risk prevention, risk mitigation and risk response according to social risk management.Research limitations/implicationsThe rise of transnational railway construction is encouraged by the process of globalization. But during the long construction period, the host country people's coping behavior would develop into social conflicts and mass incidents, becoming a significant obstacle to construction objectives. Thus, studying the formation mechanism of public coping behaviors can better take measures to prevent social risks.Originality/valueThe contributions of this research are three aspects: first, a formation mechanism of the host country people's coping behavior based on grounded theory is presented. Second, the country-of-origin image is found to be a factor that cannot be ignored in a transnational context. The formation mechanism of public coping behaviors is improved compared to risk management in the domestic situation. Finally, the host country people pay more attention to the motivations of country-of-origin's controlling interests and their own emotions compared with internal stakeholders.
