Abstract

Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) is an innovative methodology that supports public policy-making by estimating the societal value of public policies or projects through citizen participation. This thesis studies the decision-making processes applied by participants using a case study of infrastructure projects within the municipality of Delft. The study tests the perfect rationality and utility maximisation assumptions underlying the choice modelling methodology for the project portfolio-construction task of PVE surveys.
