Implementation of Infrastructure Project Through Public-PrivatePartnership in the Southern Part of West Java Province

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate how infrastructure projects are executed in government-business partnerships. The study aims to accomplish three objectives: (1) evaluate the implementation of these projects, (2) identify the obstacles encountered during project execution, and (3) analyze the strategies utilized in executing disruptive innovation in government-business partnership infrastructure projects. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, carried out for a period of one year, from July 2021 to June 2022. The study involves six experts from the Transportation Agency, two individuals from the Department of Public Works and Public Housing, one representative from Regional Planning and Development Agency (RDPA), and one academician, with structured in-person interviews used as the primary data source. The research indicates that executing infrastructure projects through disruptive innovation in construction firms involves several steps, such as preparing for disruption, developing internal and external innovation, using incremental innovations, and utilizing open innovation to explore new technologies and business models. Nonetheless, the study identifies several obstacles encountered during the execution of these projects, including inadequate infrastructure project risk analysis, poor coordination among stakeholders, limited funding allocation, and land availability issues. To mitigate these challenges, the study recommends the need for independent professional consultants, improved project planning, regulatory ease, fiscal incentives for investors, and legal guarantees for private investors to ensure equal rights as state-owned enterprises in executing feasible projects, and good coordination among stakeholders
