1ROLE OF PUBLIC IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEGA PROJECT
Introduction:
Mega projects are defined as the large scale projects based on infrastructure related to
transport, or any other sectors such as education, information and communication technology or
any environment related projects. There are several methods by which public participation is
taken into account based on the development of the mega developments while assessing its
effectiveness at different levels.
Research Question:
What role can the general public play in the development of mega project?

In this paper, Kennedy (2015), introduces the main issues that are being faced while
carrying out any megaproject within the metropolitan cities. As a means to it, the paper
also includes a brief literature review describing the emergence of new types of mega
projects while bringing in sharp focus to the special issues that are being faced. The
results that have been produced in this paper are taken from the research project of
“Chance2Sustain”. With the increase in the building of the mega projects, different policy
makers are undertaking several forms of investments to scale up the global infrastructure
so as to meet the basic requirements of housing and conveyance.

megaproject social responsibility.
International Journal of Project
Management,
35(7), pp.1365-1377.
This part of the article by Ma et al. (2017), produces a framework that governs the
social responsibility that lies with the development of mega projects. The conceptual
framework described in this paper is mainly based on the Business Government- Society
view. The article forms the 4D view of the dual centric, dynamic and diverse form of the
conceptual framework. The framework is mainly used to pursue the shared as well as
sustainable value for the stakeholders who are tangled with the mega projects.
Megaprojects bear a lot of social as well as extensive responsibilities throughout the
entire lifecycle of the projects posing great challenges for governing the social, economic
as well as environmental issues that are involved with it.

5ROLE OF PUBLIC IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEGA PROJECT
Large scale construction projects are a part of the development of mega project
initiatives. In this paper by Wang et al. (2016), the different public reactions to the social
influences of the building based mega projects are hence investigated via SEM. The key
factors that are reflected in this paper for the public reactions to social impact were
clearly recognized while forming a multifaceted interrelationship among the factors. The
paper combines the different psychological as well as social impacts that promotes to the
public reaction based on the mega project development process.

This paper presented by Lundrigan, Gil and Puranam (2015), helps in studying the links
that are related to the organizational structure while defining the performance of mega
projects. The use of unbending agreements with the dealers increases the high indecision
in the high level strategy requirement of the mega projects that are being discussed in this
paper. For mega projects, finance is an important factor and it is seen that publicly
subsidized mega projects are more diverse than the privately funded ones. Public
statements consisting of high level prospects are often used as a symbol to garner the
promise and legitimacy of the building commitments of the mega projects.

6ROLE OF PUBLIC IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEGA PROJECT
In this article, Liu et al. (2017), develops a conceptual model for the emission of CO2
as a part of the mega project construction while establishing a bid evaluation system
considering the reduction of CO2 emission. The article also introduces a standard
deviation relation between entropy and relative entropy to process the bid evaluation for
the growth of mega projects. The establishment of frameworks helps in enriching the
decision making process in the arena of mega projects and helps in selecting suitable and
qualified contractors to improve the schemes while enabling green and sustainable energy
surrounding.

For any mega project, project success plays an important role while discussing about
the project management literature. The success of the scheme is usually determined when
they are handed out to the public for their use where the role of the public helps in
evaluating the project success to better account for the outcomes based on social and
organizational basis. Mega projects are often known to have entice a high level of
community consideration along with radical attention causing shortest and unintended
impact on the economical process of the mega projects.

In this article, Giezen, Bertolini and Salet (2015), discusses the inclination in policy so
as to reduce the complication of any mega projects while exploring the capacity to
enhance the adaptive capability of the development of decision making. The article
reflects the example of Randstad Rail case that led to incremental adaptation of the mega
project in the physical landscape. The article produces an idea about how the
development of mega project entered into the area of do no harm with wide range of
public acceptance leading to strong increase in the cost of the overall project.
