AbstractResource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a broadly researched issue in the literature. The purpose of the classic form of the problem is scheduling a set of activities considering resource and precedence constraints for minimizing the project completion time. Companies mostly deal with the issue of properly assigning multi-skilled workforces and maintaining the needed skill levels while implementing projects. In this study, a novel MILP model with three objectives is presented to tackle multi-skill RCPSP (MS-RCPSP). This study concentrates on minimizing project makespan, minimizing resource costs as well as tardiness costs, and maximizing quality under uncertainty. However, the standard MS-RCPSP is not able to consider several practical engineering requirements owing to its narrow assumptions. Therefore, key assumptions including overlap between activities, tardiness penalties of activities and the rework duration concept for activities in this model are considered. Due to the complexity of the real world, interval valued fuzzy numbers are taken into account for some of the problem’s parameters. The efficiency of the proposed mathematical framework is represented using both a real case study to construct a railway bridge with 34 activities and large-size problem instances from MMLIB (MM50 and MM100). Since this model is multi-objective, a new extended IVF-ABS approach is presented in this study. Finally, the proposed approach is compared with two methods, namely SO and ABS, from the literature.Keywords: Multi-objectivemulti-skillproject schedulingoverlappingmixed integer linear programming AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor and anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments on this presentation for remarkable improvement.

AbstractThe built environment sector is among the leading global fatalities and accidents. Studies showed that implementing health and safety regulations, especially in developing countries, is challenging in the sector. The lax implementation may have increased construction safety violations. There is a paucity of studies concerning the cause and impact of construction safety violations on the built environment in Nigeria. Thus, through an unexplored mechanism, this study investigated the perceived cause and proffered measures to prevent or mitigate safety violations on Nigerian construction sites. The researchers engaged experts across Nigerian cities via qualitative research design. The study used face-to-face interviews and eight construction sites observation to collect data. The research achieved saturation after 30 interviews. A thematic analysis was utilised to analyse the collected data. The study shows construction safety violations are visible threats to integrated project delivery and productivity within the built environment sector. Findings grouped the causes into human, technical, and management/government causes, highlighting the perceived cause of safety violations on Nigerian construction sites. Findings would assist stakeholders in considering the suggested measures to prevent or mitigate construction safety violations and, by extension, promote a safe working environment for construction workers.Keywords: Construction sitesdeveloping economyhazardshealth and safety (H&S)Nigeriasafety violations Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available on request from the corresponding author.

AbstractSustainable Development (SD) is characterised of social, economic, and environmental components; however, the social component of SD has received little attention from academics, but recently, this has changed as the notion that growth is incomplete without equity gained more traction. One way to achieve the UN Goal 16 of ‘Promoting peaceful, just, and inclusive societies’ is through the concept of adaptive reuse innovation. Therefore, this paper aims to identify how the adaptive reuse concept has promoted the social sustainability concept through a systematic literature review (SLR). The SLR is necessary to summarise available evidence on the social sustainability potential of the adaptive reuse (AR). It further serves to create awareness of the reuse of building as an inclusive innovation critical for sustainable development. Using SLR, 56 relevant studies were extracted from the web of science and Scopus databases. A content analysis of five identified themes from the studies showed that adaptive reuse contributed to social sustainability through provision of social infrastructure, social cohesion, enhancing social health/well-being. There is need to advance research in areas of human adaptability, social awareness, and education on adaptive reuse.Keywords: Adaptive reusesocial sustainabilitywell-beingcommunity participationsocial cohesionsocial infrastructurehealthsustainable development AcknowledgmentsThis paper forms part of the output from the core doctoral research program at the University of Johannesburg supported by the National Institute of Theoretical and Computational Sciences (NITheCS).Disclosure statementThe authors affirm that they have no known interpersonal conflicts that would have appeared to have an impact on the research presented in this study.
摘要可持续发展具有社会、经济和环境三个方面的特征;然而，可持续发展的社会成分很少受到学术界的关注，但最近，随着“没有公平的增长是不完整的”这一概念越来越受到关注，这种情况发生了变化。实现联合国目标16“促进和平、公正和包容的社会”的一种方法是通过适应性再利用创新的概念。因此，本文旨在通过系统的文献回顾(SLR)来确定适应性再利用概念是如何促进社会可持续性概念的。SLR是必要的，以总结现有证据的社会可持续发展潜力的适应性再利用(AR)。它还有助于提高人们对建筑再利用的认识，使其成为对可持续发展至关重要的包容性创新。使用SLR从web of science和Scopus数据库中提取56篇相关研究。对研究中确定的五个主题的内容分析表明，适应性再利用通过提供社会基础设施、社会凝聚力、增强社会健康/福祉，促进了社会可持续性。有必要推进人类适应性、社会意识和适应性再利用教育等领域的研究。关键词:适应性再利用社会可持续性福祉社区参与社会凝聚力社会基础设施健康可持续发展本文是由国家理论与计算科学研究所(nicics)支持的约翰内斯堡大学核心博士研究项目产出的一部分。披露声明:作者确认他们没有已知的人际冲突，这可能会对本研究中的研究产生影响。

AbstractExpatriation management is a key concern in international construction projects, where the living and working conditions of expatriates can have a significant impact on project success. This study investigates the critical factors affecting Chinese construction expatriates’ living and working conditions in Thailand. Through a three-round Delphi technique involving twelve experts and in-depth semi-structured interviews with eight construction experts with extensive overseas experience to validate, six critical factors were identified for each living and working condition. Language and Covid-19-related (during the investigating period) factors were the most dominant factors affecting the living conditions, while technical standards, technology, and competition were critical factors for working conditions. The study categorizes the critical factors into five groups and provides suggestions for improvement. This research is the first to investigate the specific factors affecting Chinese construction expatriates in Thailand and offers insights and management directions for the expatriation process, particularly for the growing number of Chinese construction companies expanding internationally. The findings also serve as a valuable reference for future research on this topic.Keywords: Construction expatriatesliving conditionsworking conditionsproject managementDelphi study Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data used in this research paper investigating factors affecting Chinese construction expatriates’ living and working conditions are available upon request.

AbstractWithin the last decade, sustainable construction projects (SCPs) management has become a hot topic in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry covering from building materials to the construction process. This study aims to systematically analyze literature concerning SCPs management between 2000 and October 2022 to improve the researchers’ overall understanding of SCPs management. From an objective analysis of co-occurrence keywords obtained by scientometric analysis, this study visualizes and conducts a detailed discussion about active studies and research trends. After discussing environmental, economic, and social sustainability indicators and their integration, the methods for improving SCPs management are summarized by a theoretical model. These methods include waste management, energy management, construction materials management, low-carbon management, green rating system, sustainable design, lean construction, knowledge management, capability building, value management, and implementation of new technology. Finally, future research directions are proposed, such as the social sustainability of different phases, the improvement of green rating systems, the development of green technologies, the collaboration of normative guidelines from different countries, and so on. This scientometric review explains the state-of-the-art research of SCPs management and encourages more interdisciplinary research involving relevant sustainability areas.Keywords: Reviewsustainabilityconstruction project managementvisualization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementData will be made available on request.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Research Plan of China Railway Fourth Bureau Group; Innovation Research Plan of Anhui Construction Engineering Group in China.

Extant studies have highlighted numerous barriers to carbon reduction but none seem to have been done in the context of construction process in the UK. Hence, this study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the barriers that are critical to the minimization of construction carbon footprint in the UK. A questionnaire was developed based on the carbon reduction barrier variables identified through a comprehensive literature review and pilot study. Then a survey was conducted amongst construction professionals in the UK and the data obtained were analyzed using mean ranking technique and factor analysis. The mean ranking analysis gave rise to 15 critical barriers to carbon reduction and their factor analysis yielded four dissimilar factors which are, resources and prioritization; policy and standards; risk and commitment; and awareness and complexity. The findings imply that these classifications can be used to describe carbon reduction barriers in the UK. This could stimulate a better comprehension of the critical barriers and provide a foundational basis for further research within the sustainable construction domain. Also, the result of this study could facilitate the need for collaboration between construction stakeholders in the UK to proffer pragmatic solutions to the identified challenges of carbon minimization.

Environmental Justice (EJ) challenges, such as disproportionate sharing of the environmental burden and sufferings of people, are experienced in the Global South. Although efforts are made to incorporate EJ in various developmental activities, it is under-emphasised in road construction in the Global South. Therefore, EJ challenges in the construction of road transport infrastructure were explored, and an integrated framework to engender EJ in such construction in the Global South was conceptualised in this study. This study was premised upon a critical literature review and discourse analyses, supported by qualitative field observations and evidence from a case study. Findings suggested that all three types of EJ (distributional, procedural and interactional) are largely undermined in road infrastructure development. The current processes, such as Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Protection Acts and Laws are limited in terms of including, and engendering, EJ in road construction. An integrated framework, comprising three important elements of road construction, such as the expansion of EIA to include the local contexts, enabling people’s participation and engagement in decision-making, implementation and co-design of solutions, and reinforcing the current environmental laws to incorporate EJ would be likely to engender and enhance EJ in road construction in the Global South.
