Conventionally, risk assessment methods suffer from ignoring the dynamic nature of risks. Therefore, this study demonstrates an interactive approach to risks and prioritizes based on their overall cyclic events acting attainment goals a project during its life cycle. Hence, gas condensate storage tank construction (G.C.S.T.C) are first identified evaluated by using fuzzy inference system (F.I.S...

Abstract Megaprojects are increasingly common across countries and attract substantial political attention from a variety of actors. Recent studies have highlighted the need to move an understanding megaprojects as linear rational processes towards more nuanced approach that accounts for non-linear conflictual aspects. Participatory governance is often proposed valuable resource in this regard....
