PURPOSES: This study aims to suggest improvements to the management implementation plan for privately-financed roads.
METHODS: We reviewed the establishment procedures and contents of the management implementation plan for expired businesses and analyzed the limits of detailed instructions. Additionally, we created a checklist including the needs of competent authorities to solve practical matters. Furthermore, we introduced the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to reflect aspects that were not covered in the detailed instructions.
RESULTS: We suggested criteria for the decision-making structure system using the AHP method for efficient decision-making between the operation under government management and contracting-out.
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed AHP method can consider other alternatives that are not proposed in the previous detailed instructions. However, further study is required with regard to the redundancy verification and appropriateness of weights of the evaluation items.
