The Antecedents of Villagers’ Initial Trust in the Developer in Urban Village Redevelopment Projects
Publication: ICCREM 2022
ABSTRACT
Trust between villagers and the developer is indispensable to the success of urban village redevelopment project (UVRP). Although extensive studies have explored the antecedents of trust between participants in construction projects, those in UVRP are less studied. The villagers are inexperienced but vulnerable in UVRP, who may lose their property once the project fails. Thus, they are cautious of initial trust establishment on developer due to the lack of previous knowledge of and interactions with the developer, which denotes the uniqueness of initial trust establishment in UVRP. As such, this study aims to explore the antecedents of villagers’ initial trust on the developer grounded on literature review and case analysis on four UVRPs in Guangzhou, China. The results show that there are 14 antecedents of villagers’ initial trust on the developer, which are classified into the characteristics of the developer, the villagers, the institutional environment, and the boundary spanners.
