In the second phase, the determinants found through content analysis were farther verified with local experts in this field. Academicians with expertise in the research area of the environment were requested to provide their opinion. ‘Delphi method/technique’ was used for this evaluation. Selected determinants found through qualitative study were sent to the experts for their opinion and provide a ranking too. Experts were also requested to provide farther input for new variables as the determinants of the PEB.
