| dc.description.abstract | This paper seeks to determine the impact of road right-of-way and LGU participation on public-infrastructure project outcomes; specifically within the context of transitioning overhead T&D lines to underground cables in particular cities in the Philippines. It is hypothesized that road right-of-way and LGU participation play vital roles in determining transition outcomes. To test said hypothesis, five distinct variables, (1) road right-of-way, (2) LGU participation, (3) Project Characteristics, (4) City Characteristics, and (5) LGU characteristics will be measured against one dependent variable, Project Outcome, for 8 distinct cases situated in varying degrees of project completion in the Philippines. Through the analysis of these six variables, distinct findings are established: (1) road right-of-way is a main roadblock in infrastructure development and (2) LGU participation significantly lowers the burden brought about by these road right-of-way problems. This being the case, this study finds that (1) the existence of road right-of-way problems can be considered as one of the main determinants of success in the transition from overhead T&D lines to underground cables; and (2) active LGU participation is vital in the planning, implementation, and maintenance of electrical T&D lines and, by extension, public-infrastructure projects, in general. | |
