PurposeThe purpose of this study is to test and validate a scale for measuring project resilience in the construction sector within the built environment. By identifying relevant indicators and items, the study aims to enhance the resilience of construction projects and minimize losses and failures resulting from disruptive events such as societal, technological, biological and environmental hazards (e.g. Covid-19, war in Ukraine, shortage of resources, etc.).Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a quantitative approach, specifically exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, to evaluate the suitability, dimensionality and reliability of the proposed indicators and items for measuring project resilience in the construction sector.FindingsThe study found that 9 indicators and 34 items were suitable for measuring project resilience in the construction sector, and the proposed model showed good fit for the two dimensions of project resilience, which may have practical implications for project managers in the construction sector within the built environment.Originality/valueThe study proposes a new scale for measuring project resilience in the construction sector, which is a novel contribution to the field of project management. The study identifies specific indicators and items that are relevant to this industry, which may have practical implications for project managers in this sector. The study also highlights the need for further research to make the project resilience scale more robust and reliable.

PurposeUrban areas, especially in the coastal region of Bangladesh, face environmental degradation due to rapid urbanization, uncontrolled socio-economic activities and experiencing the adverse impacts of climate change. Nature-based solutions (NbS) as options for restoring, preserving, maintaining and elevating natural features or systems are becoming popular for reducing vulnerabilities caused either by natural hazards or human-induced activities. With this understanding, this study aims to explore the need of practicing NbS by studying the condition of a tidal canal (known as Thakurani Khal) and its peripheral areas of Mongla Port Municipality, a coastal and seaport town in Bangladesh.Design/methodology/approachThis case study-based research uses multiple inquiries, including focus group discussions, pair-wise comparison, observation, GIS-based mapping, key informant interviews and secondary climate data review, to understand the spatial development of the area and community reactions to the changes in the urban environment.FindingsThe natural water flow of this canal is controlled by sluice gates that indirectly allowed the dweller to encroach its lands and convert the canal into a solid waste dumping area. These human-induced activities as well as the climate change-induced events (i.e. extreme heat, intensive and irregular rainfall, increased number of cyclones, etc.) have made the adjacent areas prone to waterlogging and drainage congestion. In this context, the revival of the original natural quality of the canal has been identified as an alternative to ensuring an adaptive urban environment.Originality/valueThis research highlights the importance of practicing NbS for developing urban resilience in the context of climate change.
由于快速的城市化、不受控制的社会经济活动以及气候变化的不利影响,城市地区,特别是孟加拉国沿海地区,面临着环境退化的问题。基于自然的解决方案(NbS)作为恢复、保护、维护和提升自然特征或系统的选择,在减少自然灾害或人为活动造成的脆弱性方面越来越受欢迎。有了这样的认识,本研究旨在通过研究孟加拉国沿海和海港城镇蒙拉港市的潮汐运河(称为Thakurani Khal)及其周边地区的状况,探索实践NbS的必要性。设计/方法/方法本研究采用多种调查方法,包括焦点小组讨论、配对比较、观察、基于gis的制图、关键信息访谈和二次气候数据审查,以了解该地区的空间发展和社区对城市环境变化的反应。研究发现:水闸控制着运河的自然水流,这间接地使居民侵占了运河的土地,并将运河变成了固体废物倾倒区。这些人为活动以及气候变化引起的事件(即极端高温、密集和不规则降雨、飓风次数增加等)使邻近地区容易发生内涝和排水堵塞。在这种背景下,运河原有自然品质的复兴已被确定为确保适应性城市环境的替代方案。原创性/价值本研究强调了在气候变化背景下实施国家统计局对发展城市韧性的重要性。

PurposeClimate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. Its impacts scatter through every stratum of society placing the marginalized clusters at the highest vulnerability and calling for action at all levels. Adaptation enhances resilience, whereas mitigation minimizes the anthropogenic forces of climate change; these are crucial initiatives for climate-resilient sustainable development. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes on climate change adaptation and mitigation at individual level and assess related factors.Design/methodology/approachA descriptive study is done to assess the knowledge and attitudes of school teachers in three educational zones of the Kalutara district using random cluster sampling. A self-administered questionnaire including 25 equally weighted questions to assess knowledge and 10 statements to assess attitudes was used.FindingsThe response rate was 98.8% [n = 618] and 23% of the study population had poor knowledge of climate change adaptation and mitigation at the individual level. Favorable attitudes were observed among more than 65% of participants for all the statements on climate change adaptation and mitigation. Average family income, working duration, involvement in school environmental societies and highest education qualification showed a significant positive association, whereas age and current grade had a significant negative association with good knowledge. The level of knowledge had no significant variation among male and female teachers.Originality/valueOverall knowledge was poor among more than 20% of the teachers highlighting the need for school and community-based awareness programs to be implemented to address the issue.
气候变化是21世纪最大的全球健康威胁。它的影响分散在社会的每一个阶层,使边缘群体处于最易受伤害的境地,并要求在各级采取行动。适应可增强复原力,而减缓可最大限度地减少气候变化的人为力量;这些都是气候适应型可持续发展的关键举措。本研究的目的是确定个人对气候变化适应和减缓的认识和态度,并评估相关因素。设计/方法/方法采用随机整群抽样的方法,对Kalutara地区三个教育区学校教师的知识和态度进行了描述性研究。使用了一份自我管理的问卷,其中包括25个同等权重的问题来评估知识和10个陈述来评估态度。结果:应答率为98.8% [n = 618], 23%的研究人群在个人层面上对气候变化适应和减缓的认识较差。65%以上的与会者对所有关于适应和减缓气候变化的发言持赞成态度。家庭平均收入、工作时间、参加学校环境社团和最高学历与良好知识水平呈显著正相关,而年龄和当前年级与良好知识水平呈显著负相关。男女教师的知识水平差异不显著。创意/价值超过20%的教师整体知识贫乏,强调需要实施学校和社区意识计划来解决这个问题。

Purpose The UK Government has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, being the first major nation to do so. While laudable, it raises the question, “are future built environment professionals (BEPs) equipped for this?” Although studies related to students’ perspectives exist, they broadly focus on sustainability-related pedagogical aspects, with limited studies conducted in the built environment (BE). This study makes the case that it is timely to investigate this from an emerging perspective using the term “low-carbon future” (LCF), given that it is germane to achieving net-zero emissions and is at the forefront of academic and practice discourse. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the knowledge level of UK BE students’ in higher education institutions (HEIs) specific to the term LCF. Design/methodology/approach This is a systematic scoping study review of published papers related to sustainability in BE curricula in the UK HEI context. Findings The findings reveal that LCF remains at a nascent stage, with no study specifically addressing it. It indicates a knowledge gap that could impact the grounding students require to address current and future sustainability challenges. Research limitations/implications The review focused on a specific term, which, while relevant, is very niche. A review of other emerging terms, considering LCF as a theme, and/or empirical data from diverse stakeholders in UK HEIs could enrich the results. Practical implications This study provides significant insight into the status of sustainability inclusion in the BE curriculum. It would serve as a reference for stakeholders involved in equipping future BEPs with the requisite knowledge and skills to deal with sustainability challenges that will be consequential beyond the UK context. It would also inform future research. Social implications Sustainability-informed and equipped BEPs will be influential in shaping their immediate surroundings and how people engage with them, which will contribute to developing a more equitable and sustainable society. Originality/value Beyond contributing to the discourse on sustainability literacy in UK HEI from an emerging concept perspective, this study would be useful as possibly the first of its kind. Therefore, it fills the theoretical gap and proffers recommendations that would be beneficial for curriculum development.
目的 英国政府已承诺到 2050 年实现净零排放,成为第一个这样做的大国。这固然值得称赞,但同时也提出了一个问题:"未来的建筑环境专业人员(BEPs)是否为此做好了准备?尽管存在与学生观点相关的研究,但这些研究主要集中在与可持续发展相关的教学方面,对建筑环境(BE)的研究有限。鉴于 "低碳未来"(LCF)与实现净零排放息息相关,并处于学术和实践讨论的前沿,本研究认为,从一个新兴的视角对其进行调查是非常及时的。因此,本文旨在调查英国高等教育机构(HEIs)的本科生对 LCF 一词的具体了解程度。 设计/方法/途径 这是一项系统性的范围界定研究,对英国高等教育机构中与基础教育课程中的可持续性相关的已发表论文进行回顾。 研究结果 研究结果表明,LCF 仍处于初级阶段,没有专门针对它的研究。这表明存在知识差距,可能会影响学生应对当前和未来可持续发展挑战所需的基础。 研究局限性/启示 本次审查的重点是一个特定术语,虽然与之相关,但非常小众。对其他新兴术语进行回顾,将 LCF 作为一个主题,和/或从英国高等院校的不同利益相关者那里获得经验数据,可以丰富研究结果。 实际意义 本研究为可持续发展纳入基础教育课程的现状提供了重要见解。对于参与培养未来必修课程的相关人员来说,这项研究可以作为参考,使他们掌握必要的知识和技能,以应对英国以外的可持续发展挑战。它还将为今后的研究提供参考。 社会影响 具有可持续发展意识和能力的 BEP 将在塑造其周围环境以及人们如何与周围环境打交道方面发挥影响 力,这将有助于建立一个更加公平和可持续发展的社会。 原创性/价值 除了从新兴概念的角度为英国高等院校的可持续发展素养讨论做出贡献之外,本研究还可能是同类研究中的第一项。因此,它填补了理论空白,并提出了有利于课程开发的建议。

Purpose Policy coherence is a complex and tough task for many developing nations because their capacity to examine and deliver evidence-based inputs to policymaking is limited, and policy dialogue platforms need to be effectively used. Resolving these difficulties is a critical requirement for policy consistency. As a result, the study focuses on the level of policy coherence for climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk reduction (DRR) and sustainable development goals (SDG) in Sri Lanka and suggests routes for policy coherence for Resilience. This study aims to investigate the coherent approach of CCA, DRR and SDG; to identify concerns in policy documents addressing the coherence of CCA, DRR and SDG in local context; and to propose policy coherence suggestions for resilience in Sri Lanka. Design/methodology/approach Methodology comprises a review and content analysis of 17 policy and legal documents in Sri Lanka and a qualitative study. The qualitative approach consists of semistructured interviews that obtained deep and broad expertise knowledge with ten government representatives and stakeholders. Both content analysis and interview data were analyzed by using NVivo. Findings It was discovered that there are several issues with the coherence of policies in Sri Lanka, including the fragmented approach, lack of integration, inadequate coordination, limited resources and lack of monitoring and evaluation. The policies are inspired by international frameworks, and local implementations are not focused, leading to inadequate implementation of policies. The lack of development cooperation for the use of innovative approaches, such as climate-resilient infrastructure and environmentally friendly solutions for CCA and DRR, further aggravates the situation. Another concern is the lack of land use management and responsibility for the development of physical infrastructure for DRR integration with CCA. It is found that there is a limited community involvement which is vital for the implementation of policies. Local implementations are encouraged to fill the gaps in existing policies/acts. The analytical framework of the study is based on a preliminary examination of policy documents, a review of the literature and discussions with practitioners. The framework reflects the current situation of policy integration which addresses strategic, conceptual, institutional, operational and financial coherence. The research suggests pathways for achieving policy coherence in CCA, DRR and SDG in Sri Lanka, such as enhancing the strategic coherence by improving goals to increase the coherence within CCA, DRR and SDG; improving the credibility of the unified approach for developing DRR and CCA risk assessments; intensifying institutional cooperation and stakeholder management; improving the common monitoring and evaluation; establishing implementation strategies; and increasing the community involvement.

Purpose Child friendly space (CFS) has been introduced worldwide as an effective Child Protection response to the affected children in emergency to restore their life through psychosocial support programs. An effective physical environment is crucial to accommodate the psychosocial activities of a CFS. Several guidelines have stated minimum standards regarding design and implementation of a CFS. However, different case studies show that the physical set-up of CFS varies in different contexts. Therefore, there is a scope to analyze the physical environment of CFSs in the context of Rohingya camps based on those standards. Design/methodology/approach Very few guidelines have solely discussed the criteria of physical design and implementation of a CFS. First, the study develops an assessment tool by sorting out those standards from available sources. Secondly, the study follows multiple case study research approach to assess physical environment of four CFSs in Rohingya camps, Cox’s Bazar based on those standards using direct observation, photographic analysis and key informant interview as survey tools. Findings Major findings reveal that local factors such as topography, availability of land and density have great impact on physical environment on CFSs in Cox’s Bazar beyond the minimum standards, which indicates the importance of considering local factors while designing a CFS for a given context. Originality/value Solely demonstrates the need of considering the benchmarks as well as local factors, which will contribute to the knowledge of policymakers and implementers during designing and implementing a CFS for a specific context.
目的 儿童友好空间(CFS)作为一种有效的儿童保护措施,已在全球范围内推出,通过社会心理支持计划,在紧急情况下帮助受影响儿童恢复正常生活。一个有效的物理环境对儿童友好空间的社会心理活动至关重要。有几份指南规定了设计和实施心理辅导中心的最低标准。然而,不同的个案研究表明,在不同的情况下,爱幼学校的物质环境各不相同。因此,有必要根据这些标准对罗辛亚难民营中的爱幼学校的物质环境进行分析。 设计/方法/途径 只有极少数指南单独讨论了熟食中心的物质设计和实施标准。首先,本研究通过对现有资料来源中的标准进行整理,开发了一个评估工具。其次,本研究采用多重案例研究法,以直接观察、图片分析和关键信息提供者访谈为调查工具,根据这些标准对科克斯巴扎尔罗辛亚难民营的四个熟食中心的物质环境进行评估。 研究结果 主要研究结果显示,当地因素(如地形、可用土地和密度)对科克斯巴扎尔 CFS 物理环境的影响超出了最低标准,这表明在设计特定环境下的 CFS 时考虑当地因素的重要性。 独创性/价值 完全证明了考虑基准和当地因素的必要性,这将有助于决策者和实施者在针对特定情况设计和实施熟食中心时了解相关知识。

Purpose Evaluating the implementation of environmental management plans (EMPs) in highway construction projects is essential to avoid climate change. Public evaluations can help ensure that the EMP is implemented correctly and efficiently. To allow public evaluation of EMP implementations, this study aims to investigate performance indicators (PIs) for assessing EMP implementation in highway construction projects. To that end, the study objectives are to compare the critical PIs between environment auditors (EAs) and environment officers (EOs) and among the main project stakeholders (i.e. clients, contractors and consultants), create components for the critical PIs and assess the efficiency of the components. Design/methodology/approach The paper identified 39 PIs from interviews with environmental professionals and a systematic literature review. Then a questionnaire survey was developed based on the PIs and sent to EAs and EOs. The data were analyzed via mean score ranking, normalization, agreement analysis, factor analysis and fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE). Findings The analyses revealed 21 critical PIs for assessing EMP implementation in highway construction projects. Also, the critical PIs can be grouped into four components: ecological, pollution, public safety and ecological. Finally, the overall importance of the critical PIs from the FSE is between important and very important. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first-of-its-kind study on the critical PIs for assessing EMP implementation in highway construction projects.

Purpose Golestan province in the northern part of Iran has been affected by devastating floods. There has been a significant change in the pattern of rainfall in Golestan province based on an analysis of the seven heaviest rainfall events in recent decades. Climate change appears to be a significant contributing factor to destructive floods. Thus, this paper aims to assess the susceptibility of this area to flash floods in case of heavy downpours. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a variety of computational approaches. Following the collection of data, spatial analyses have been conducted and validated. The layers of information are then weighted, and a final risk map is created. Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process, geographic information system and frequency ratio have been used for data analysis. In the final step, a flood risk map is prepared and discussed. Findings Due to the complex interaction between thermal fluctuations and precipitation, the situation in the area is further complicated by climate change and the variations in its patterns and intensities. According to the study results, coastal areas of the Caspian Sea, the Gorganrood Basin and the southern regions of the province are predicted to experience flash floods in the future. The research criteria are generalizable and can be used for decision-making in areas exposed to flash flood risk. Originality/value The unique feature of this paper is that it evaluates flash flood risks and predicts flood-prone areas in the northern part of Iran. Furthermore, some interventions (e.g. remapping land use and urban zoning) are provided based on the socioeconomic characteristics of the region to reduce flood risk. Based on the generated risk map, a practical suggestion would be to install and operate an integrated rapid flood warning system in high-risk zones.
目的 伊朗北部的戈勒斯坦省受到毁灭性洪水的影响。根据对近几十年来七次最大降雨事件的分析,戈勒斯坦省的降雨模式发生了重大变化。气候变化似乎是造成毁灭性洪灾的一个重要因素。因此,本文旨在评估该地区在暴雨情况下发生山洪的可能性。 设计/方法/途径 本文采用了多种计算方法。在收集数据后,进行了空间分析和验证。然后对各层信息进行加权,最后绘制出风险地图。数据分析采用了模糊层次分析法、地理信息系统和频率比。最后,绘制洪水风险图并进行讨论。 研究结果 由于热量波动和降水之间复杂的相互作用,该地区的情况因气候变化及其模式和强度的变化而变得更加复杂。研究结果表明,里海沿岸地区、戈尔甘罗德河流域和该省南部地区预计未来将发生山洪暴发。研究标准具有普遍性,可用于面临山洪风险地区的决策。 独创性/价值 本文的独特之处在于它评估了伊朗北部地区的山洪风险并预测了洪水易发地区。此外,还根据该地区的社会经济特征提供了一些干预措施(如重新绘制土地利用图和城市分区图),以降低洪水风险。根据生成的风险地图,一个切实可行的建议是在高风险地区安装和运行综合快速洪水预警系统。

Purpose Over the years, the significance of retrofitting has gained much attention with the unveiling of its different applications, such as energy retrofit and deep retrofit, to enhance the climate-resilience of buildings. However, no single study comprehensively assesses the climate-resilience of retrofitting. The purpose of this study is to address this gap via a systematic literature review. Design/methodology/approach Quality journal studies were selected using the PRISMA method and analysed manually and using scientometrics. Three dimensions of climate-resilience, such as robustness, withstanding and recovery, were used to evaluate the contribution of retrofit measures for achieving climate-resilient houses across four climate zones: tropical, arid, temperate and cold. Findings Most passive measures can enhance the robustness of residential buildings but cannot verify for withstanding against immediate shocks and timely recovery. However, some passive measures, such as night-time ventilation, show excellent performance over all four climate zones. Active measures such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, can ensure climate-resilience in all three dimensions in the short-term but contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, further exacerbating the long-term climate. Integrating renewable energy sources can defeat this issue. Thus, all three retrofit strategies should appropriately be adopted together to achieve climate-resilient houses. Research limitations/implications Since the research is limited to secondary data, retrofit measures recommended in this research should be further investigated before application. Originality/value This review contributes to the knowledge domain of retrofitting by assessing the contribution of different retrofit measures to climate-resilience.
目的 多年来,随着节能改造和深度改造等不同应用的出现,改造对提高建筑物气候适应能力的意义备受关注。然而,目前还没有一项研究对改造的气候适应性进行全面评估。本研究旨在通过系统的文献综述来填补这一空白。 设计/方法/途径 采用 PRISMA 方法筛选出高质量的期刊研究,并进行人工分析和科学计量学分析。采用气候适应性的三个维度,如稳健性、承受力和恢复力,来评估改造措施对实现热带、干旱、温带和寒带四个气候带的气候适应性房屋的贡献。 研究结果 大多数被动措施可以增强住宅建筑的稳健性,但无法验证抵御直接冲击和及时恢复的能力。然而,一些被动措施,如夜间通风,在所有四个气候区都表现出卓越的性能。采暖、通风和空调以及热回收机械通风等主动措施可以在短期内确保三个方面的气候适应性,但会增加温室气体排放,进一步加剧长期气候问题。整合可再生能源可以解决这一问题。因此,应适当地同时采用这三种改造策略,以实现具有气候适应性的房屋。 研究局限性/意义 由于研究仅限于二手数据,因此本研究建议的改造措施在应用前应进一步调查。 原创性/价值 本综述通过评估不同改造措施对气候适应性的贡献,为改造知识领域做出了贡献。
