FUJIWARA, Naoki. Public-Private partnerships and their limiting factors for a sustainable public sewerage industry: A comparative analysis of three municipal cases in Japan. Rev. Nac. Adm. [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.2, e3771. ISSN 1659-4932.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rna.v12i2.3771.

This study focuses on the conditions for the implementation of the APP, in the form of a concession for the management of the sewerage business. Three uncertainties were identified as limiting factors for PPPs; a) level of service to ensure sustainability, aging of machinery and equipment; b) public spending on rain and the national government subsidy system; c) residents' perception of the water business and the provision of equitable services. The methodology includes case studies (cities of Hamamatsu, Osaka and Nara in Japan). It consists of two parts: a) analysis of relevant published materials and b) application of surveys and semi-structured interviews with municipal officials and, in the case of Osaka, an affiliated company established to operate the sewer business.

Palabras clave : PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS; CONCESSION; PUBLICLY OWNED ENTERPRISES.
