Evaluation and ranking of risk factors in public–private partnership water supply projects in developing countries using fuzzy synthetic evaluation approach

作者：

Highlights：

• A fuzzy mathematical model is presented based on the fuzzy synthetic evaluation, FSE.

• The model ranks principal risks in and predicts overall risk level of PPP projects.

• FSE uses linguistic variables in assessing likelihoods and severities of risks.

• Results show that water PPPs in developing countries are risky (with index of 4.78).
