Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

While public infrastructure projects face frequent challenges related to social acceptability, the relationship between these projects’ governance and social acceptability has been overlooked. Yet, governance plays a crucial role in generating practices and policies that facilitate the development of social acceptability. This article elaborates on a conceptual framework of the processual governance dynamics of public infrastructure projects, which bridges project governance and social acceptability literatures in the context of public infrastructure projects. An organizational learning framework is introduced, which portrays strategies that encourage stakeholder engagement and ensure alignment with sustainable development principles. Building on this, the article offers two contributions to the literature. First, it theoretically grounds the interrelations among governance, social acceptability, and organizational learning. Second, it develops a practical analytical tool that can serve as a roadmap for organizations that aim to improve their socially responsible project management practices.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
