Abstract

In the mode choice and application of sanitation latrine with urine and faeces separation in China, it is very important to solved problem on hygienic safety during the course of faeces application and resource. In the recent 10 years, with the efforts of thousands of scientists, technologists on research and development work, eco- sanitation latrine and technique with urine and faeces separation had made great process in China. Technology transfer plays an important role on the development of the sanitation projects in China. The TT in this report is defined as the transfer of advanced sanitation design, engineering and construction technology, skill, knowledge, and training material and so on to the transferee for the sanitation development. This report identifies the risk and risk management involved in the sanitation project, and analysis the impact of the risks on the TT in sanitation project. The Research objective is to investigate the risks and analysis the risk management solution in Technology Transfer during sanitation development projects in Shandong province, China. Key words: Sanitation development. Risk. Risk management. Technology Transfer. China.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
