Abstract

Infrastructure project selection and prioritization is a challenging decision-making problem. Thus, decision makers are required to develop and use a decision-making framework to evaluate the proposals. The first step in developing such framework is to establish the decision criteria. This research aims to identify these criteria based on a systematic review of literature. A total of 34 decision criteria for infrastructure project selection was identified. In addition, this research has also identified three major facts related to decision criteria and presented a structured model to integrate these decision criteria into a Decision-Making Framework. As a preliminary study, the findings from this research are expected to assist further research on developing a Decision-Making Framework for infrastructure project selection.

Summary

Introduction

The selection and prioritization of infrastructure project proposals is an important and challenging decisionmaking problem faces by decision makers, the government. Infrastructure projects are funded using public funds through development programs set by the government. The process of selecting and prioritizing infrastructure project proposals is characterized by multiple goals and uncertainties due to incomplete information [1]. According to Purnus and Bodea [5], there are five steps in developing a model to evaluate and prioritize project proposals, namely: (1) establishment of evaluation criteria, (2) establishment of score scale for each criterion, (3) establishment of the scoring method for each criterion, (4) calculation of the score, and (5) establishment of project priority list based on the calculated score. This research focuses on the first step, i.e. to establish the evaluation criteria
