Japanese version aimed at achieving social capital research on evaluating and improving quality of PFI

本研究的重点是英国的PFI支持组织及其对公共客户的支持活动，包括英国的中央政府部门和地方政府。通过与日本在公共采购和建筑设计方面的支持体系的比较，英国PFI的支持体系有一个清晰的结构，即中央政府对项目的政策和计划进行审查的监管控制体系和规划支持体系，通过对英国和日本两个PFI公共图书馆项目的考察，在设计过程中，建筑师、客户和承包商之间的关系在采购结构上也有所不同。

This study focuses on the PFI supporting organisations in United Kingdom and their supporting activities toward the public clients, which include central government departments and local authorities in UK. By comparing their support system in public procurement aspect and architectural design aspect with that of Japan, there is a clear structure in UK PFI support system, the Regulation Control System, which is to do with the central government reviewing projects in relation to their policy and programmes, and the Planning Support System, which is to do with supporting local authorities' actual PFI projects.By scrutinizing the two PFI public library projects in UK and in Japan, there is also a difference in procurement structure in a relationship between the architect, the client and the contractor in designing process.
