Understanding the Actual Situation of Integrated Projects of Public and Private Facilities through Public-Private Partnerships and Research on the Feasibility of such Projects in Small and Medium-Sized Local Cities

The nationwide reality of PPP projects integrating public and private facilities is unclear, and analysis focusing on regional cities, where the impact of these projects is significant, is considered important.The purpose of this study is to grasp the nationwide reality, clarify the overview of PPP utilization in these areas based on the project characteristics and the reasons for selecting the method, and discuss the feasibility.The results show there is a nationwide trend toward the consolidation of facility functions, and various methods were selected for small and medium-sized regional cities.In these areas, there were differences among methods, especially in facility functions and project scale, and scale was the main reason for method selection.The above suggests that the PFI method is used when the scale is large for multifunctional public facilities, while other methods are used when the scale is small due to the regional characteristics.
