PurposeNeuroarchitecture is a new interdisciplinary research field combining neuroscience and architecture that has developed and expanded since 2000. Neuroarchitecture originated from the divergence of previous multidisciplinary studies on the relationship between humans and the environment. However, scoping reviews of neuroarchitecture in relation to the experience of the built environment are lacking. Thus, this study aimed to provide the background and research trends of neuroarchitecture to contribute to discussions on the built environment.Design/methodology/approachA general form of scoping review was adopted, following the PRISMA-ScR checklist. For this scoping review emphasizing the embodied implication of neuroarchitecture for the built environment, an evaluation framework was developed consisting of four categories: health, performance, aesthetics and emotion.FindingsThis study explores objective techniques, including electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging, electrocardiogram, electrodermal activity and saliva cortisol, to measure neurophysiological impacts, adopting real, virtual and images of environmental settings. An in-depth review of 25 selected papers revealed the existing empirical research on neuroarchitecture using human physiological measurement tools and representational environment settings to examine the impact of human–environment relationships.Originality/valueA meta-analysis of theoretical and intervention studies on neuroarchitecture that investigates the multisensory characteristics of the environment is lacking. In addition, the development and application of wearable tools to meet the needs of real environment settings can improve the effectiveness of neurophysiological measurement tools.
神经建筑学是自2000年以来发展和扩展的一个新的跨学科研究领域,将神经科学和建筑学相结合。神经建筑学起源于前人对人与环境关系的多学科研究的分歧。然而,神经建筑学的范围审查与建筑环境的经验是缺乏的。因此,本研究旨在提供神经建筑的背景和研究趋势,以促进对建筑环境的讨论。设计/方法学/方法根据PRISMA-ScR检查表,采用了一般形式的范围审查。为了强调神经建筑对建筑环境的具体含义,我们开发了一个评估框架,包括四个类别:健康、性能、美学和情感。本研究探索客观技术,包括脑电图和功能磁共振成像、心电图、皮电活动和唾液皮质醇,以测量神经生理影响,采用真实、虚拟和环境设置图像。本文对25篇论文进行了深入的回顾,揭示了现有的神经建筑学实证研究利用人类生理测量工具和代表性环境设置来研究人与环境关系的影响。原创性/价值缺乏研究环境多感官特征的神经建筑学理论和干预研究的荟萃分析。此外,开发和应用适应真实环境设置需要的可穿戴工具,可以提高神经生理测量工具的有效性。

PurposeCommemorating the 15th year anniversary of discourse, knowledge dissemination in architecture and urbanism through the contributions published in Archnet-IJAR: International Journal of Architectural Research, since March 2007, this article aims to capture, unpack and categorize the key content of published research outputs during the last five years into knowledge spaces.Design/methodology/approachWhile referring to key statistics of various recognized databases in order to highlight the journal growth, development and performance, the approach to the analysis is inspired by Crysler's Writing Spaces: Discourses of Architecture, Urbanism and the Built Environment. This is established through a preliminary conceptual content analysis that enables the development of specific content categories representing knowledge spaces based on the overall contributions to the journal since its inception in 2007 and then mapping the recent contributions, developed over the past five years (2017–2021), to these knowledge spaces. The thrust of the analysis is to instigate a structured understanding of Archnet-IJAR role in the development and dissemination of knowledge in architecture and urbanism.FindingsThe examination of the content and the analysis reveal two broad categories of knowledge spaces: established and evolving. Established knowledge spaces are recognized in terms of theorizing architectural and urban production; the public realm and assessment of designed environments; housing, the informal and the vernacular; urban heritage and historic environments; and architectural and urban politics. Evolving knowledge spaces were acknowledged in terms of architectural education and design pedagogy; collaborative planning and community design; architectural and urban sustainability and resilience; health, wellbeing and engaging with nature; and COVID-19 spatial and pedagogical implications. Characterized by clear definition and at the same time transparent borders, the identified knowledge spaces have the potential of generating further possibilities for future knowledge spaces.Research limitations/implicationsIn addition to a holistic analysis based on the scrutiny of contributions as they progressed from submissions to reviews to publishing, future work would involve more systematization, in-depth engagement with metadata and should benefit from IT applications and data mining software packages.Practical implicationsThis article is regarded as a cognizance platform and an enabling mechanism for researchers and future contributors to identify the unique particularities of their research, the nature of the content they aim to develop and the way in which that content may contribute to one or more knowledge spaces.Originality/valueEstablishing an understanding of the knowledge spaces which represent contributions published in Archnet-IJAR, the knowledge spaces identified demonstrate diversity and plurality; diversity in ontological interpretations of the n
自2007年3月以来,为了纪念通过发表在Archnet-IJAR:国际建筑研究杂志上的文章来传播建筑和城市主义的话语和知识15周年,本文旨在捕捉、解析和分类过去五年发表的研究成果的关键内容,并将其纳入知识空间。设计/方法/方法参考了各种公认数据库的关键统计数据,以突出期刊的增长、发展和表现,分析方法的灵感来自于克莱斯勒的《写作空间:建筑、城市主义和建筑环境的话语》。这是通过初步的概念内容分析来建立的,该分析能够根据自2007年创刊以来对期刊的总体贡献来开发代表知识空间的特定内容类别,然后将过去五年(2017-2021年)开发的最新贡献映射到这些知识空间。分析的主旨是激发对Archnet-IJAR在建筑和城市主义知识的发展和传播中的作用的结构化理解。对内容的检查和分析揭示了两大类知识空间:已建立的和正在发展的。已建立的知识空间在建筑和城市生产理论化方面得到认可;公共领域和设计环境的评估;住房,非正式住房和乡土住房;城市遗产和历史环境;以及建筑和城市政治。在建筑教育和设计教学方面,不断发展的知识空间得到了认可;协同规划与社区设计;建筑和城市的可持续性和弹性;健康、幸福和与自然的接触;以及COVID-19对空间和教学的影响。通过清晰的定义和透明的边界,确定的知识空间具有为未来的知识空间产生更多可能性的潜力。研究局限/启示除了基于从投稿到评审再到发表的审查的整体分析之外,未来的工作将涉及更多的系统化,深入使用元数据,并应受益于IT应用程序和数据挖掘软件包。本文被认为是一个认知平台和使能机制,使研究人员和未来的贡献者能够识别他们研究的独特性,他们旨在开发的内容的性质以及该内容可能对一个或多个知识空间做出贡献的方式。原创性/价值建立对在Archnet-IJAR中发表的贡献的知识空间的理解,确定的知识空间表现出多样性和多元性;对现实本质的本体论解释的多样性,以及如何追求方法的多元性和多元认识论,以及这些解释的发展、记录、记录和交流方式。这些是知识空间的可能性和预期的增长,演变和发展。

PurposeMost older people wish to age “in place”. However, as current housing is mainly unsuitable for later life, architects have a key role to play. Yet, there is little architectural consideration for the notion of “ageing in place” and its various facets, beyond a functional focus. Architects seem to lack support to grasp inhabitants' sensible needs, and thus synergies with other human-centred disciplines could be enlightening. To ensure homes are designed in line with people's wellbeing, the authors aim to provide a state-of-the-art view, as to build a model supporting architects through their understanding of older people-environment relationships.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the authors investigate the key concepts that could enrich architects' design approaches on “ageing in place”. A narrative literature review scrutinising English- and French-written publications from the last twenty years in various disciplines was conducted, with a focus on older people and non-institutionalised housing.FindingsThe results highlight five essential perspectives to be taken into account when questioning housing for older people: health, affective, social, built and contextual perspectives. Their meaning and ties are developed and then synthesised into considerations, calling for architectural creativity.Originality/valueThis fivefold theoretical model adds to the existing architectural body of knowledge by adopting a multidisciplinary and multidimensional angle, going beyond the predominantly pragmatic vision associated with ageing. It provides stakeholders in architecture with a fresh and clear insight of meaningful relationships between older people and their residential environment.
大多数老年人希望“原地”老去。然而,由于目前的住房主要不适合以后的生活,建筑师必须发挥关键作用。然而,除了功能焦点之外,很少有建筑考虑“就地老化”的概念及其各个方面。建筑师似乎缺乏支持来把握居民的合理需求,因此与其他以人为中心的学科的协同作用可能是有启发的。为了确保住宅的设计符合人们的福祉,作者的目标是提供一个最先进的观点,并通过建筑师对老年人与环境关系的理解来建立一个模型。设计/方法论/方法在本文中,作者探讨了可以丰富建筑师“就地老化”设计方法的关键概念。对过去二十年来各学科的英语和法语出版物进行了一项叙述性文献审查,重点是老年人和非机构住房。研究结果强调了在质疑老年人住房问题时需要考虑的五个基本观点:健康、情感、社会、建筑和环境观点。它们的意义和联系得到发展,然后综合考虑,呼唤建筑创造力。原创性/价值这个五重理论模型通过采用多学科和多维角度,超越了与老龄化相关的主要实用主义视角,为现有的建筑知识体系增添了新的内容。它为建筑的利益相关者提供了一个关于老年人和他们的居住环境之间有意义的关系的新鲜而清晰的见解。

PurposeCustomization is a paradox in architecture, providing necessary modernization for buildings but potentially damaging their architectural integrity. In this paper, the authors introduce the Inhabitant-Driven Customization approach for avoiding this paradox; this approach lets inhabitants design the customization from options created by architects that safeguard architectural rules. As a first implementation of the Inhabitant-Driven Customization approach, the MyChanges tool is presented. The authors assess whether the approach avoids the customization paradox by a qualitative stakeholder evaluation of the MyChanges tool and by a comparison of the Inhabitant-Driven Customization approach with existing approaches to housing customization.Design/methodology/approachMyChanges is a shape grammar-based design tool developed to enable inhabitants of the Álvaro Siza Vieira Malagueira housing complex to customize their houses in accordance with the architectural language of the complex. In this study, the authors qualitatively evaluated MyChanges with architects and other professional stakeholders. MyChanges is used in this paper to assess if the Inhabitant-Driven Customization approach avoids the paradox of customization. The initial reception of MyChanges produced diverging outcomes, suggesting that Inhabitant-Driven Customization is also unable to avoid the customization paradox. For analyzing this possibility further, this paper describes the main existing approaches to housing customization, including the Inhabitant-Driven Customization approach, formulates nine conditions for these approaches, and provides a qualitative comparative assessment of the approaches.FindingsThe customization paradox is demonstrated in the outcomes of the interviews with professional stakeholders on the MyChanges customization tool for the Malagueira housing complex. An argument is given that makes plausible that the Inhabitant-Driven Customization approach avoids the customization paradox by creating a co-design process in which inhabitants and architects alternately shape customization.Originality/valueThe originality of this paper lies in the introduction and discussion of the paradox of customization in housing. The paper identifies the conditions advanced in architecture for assessing housing customization approaches. Additionally, the authors propose a new customization approach and a design tool that to a large extent fulfills those conditions and avoids the customization paradox.
目的性定制是建筑界的一个悖论,它为建筑提供了必要的现代化,但却潜在地破坏了建筑的完整性。为了避免这一矛盾,本文引入了居民驱动的定制方法;这种方法允许居民根据架构师创建的选项来设计定制,以保护架构规则。作为居民驱动自定义方法的第一个实现,本文提出了MyChanges工具。作者通过对MyChanges工具进行定性的利益相关者评估,并将居民驱动的定制方法与现有的住房定制方法进行比较,来评估该方法是否避免了定制悖论。mychanges是一个基于形状语法的设计工具,它使Álvaro Siza Vieira Malagueira住宅综合体的居民能够根据该综合体的建筑语言定制他们的房屋。在这项研究中,作者与架构师和其他专业利益相关者定性地评估了MyChanges。本文使用MyChanges来评估居民驱动的定制方法是否避免了定制悖论。最初对MyChanges的接受产生了不同的结果,表明居民驱动的定制也无法避免定制悖论。为了进一步分析这种可能性,本文描述了现有的主要住宅定制方法,包括居民驱动定制方法,制定了这些方法的九个条件,并对这些方法进行了定性的比较评估。针对Malagueira住宅综合体的MyChanges定制工具,对专业利益相关者的访谈结果证明了定制悖论。本文给出了一个合理的论点,即居民驱动的定制方法通过创建一个共同设计过程来避免定制悖论,在这个过程中,居民和建筑师交替塑造定制。本文的创新之处在于对住宅定制悖论的引入和探讨。本文确定了在建筑学中用于评估住房定制方法的先进条件。此外,作者还提出了一种新的定制方法和设计工具,在很大程度上满足了这些条件,避免了定制悖论。

The icon as a collaborative performance: non-standard solutions, invisible work and networks of trust in the construction of the Elbe Philharmonic Hall, Hamburg 作为合作表演的标志:在汉堡易北河爱乐音乐厅的建设中,非标准的解决方案,无形的工作和信任网络

PurposeThe main goal of this paper is to shift the focus from the symbolic and aesthetic features of iconic projects to the complex process of their actual materialisation. Hereby, the authors conceptualise iconic projects as the “collaborative performance” of a wide range of built environment professionals. The authors seek to unravel the complexity of organisational action, professional practices, knowledge and expertise, and the inter-firm networks required for the creation of iconic architecture.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is based on an in-depth case study of the Elbe Philharmonic Hall, Hamburg's new icon. This included 26 semi-structured interviews with a broad range of interview partners, which were conducted by an interdisciplinary team.FindingsBesides by spectacular architectural design, iconic buildings are characterised by the meticulous execution of even the smallest details as well as of more hidden building elements unlikely to be seen by the public. Execution is usually contingent on the specific building processes and construction practices and requires the continuous engagement of project architects, as well as trusting collaborations with their partners in the construction industry.

本文的主要目的是将焦点从标志性项目的象征性和美学特征转移到其实际具体化的复杂过程。因此,作者将标志性项目概念化为广泛的建筑环境专业人士的“合作表现”。作者试图解开组织行动、专业实践、知识和专业知识的复杂性,以及创建标志性建筑所需的公司间网络。设计/方法/方法该分析基于对汉堡新地标易北爱乐音乐厅的深入案例研究。这包括由一个跨学科团队进行的26次半结构化访谈,访谈对象范围广泛。除了壮观的建筑设计外,标志性建筑的特点是即使是最小的细节也被细致地执行,以及更多不太可能被公众看到的隐藏建筑元素。执行通常取决于特定的建筑过程和建筑实践,需要项目建筑师的持续参与,以及与建筑行业合作伙伴的信任合作。然而,标志性项目的制作是具有挑战性和(经济上)风险的,项目合作伙伴之间的接口不能轻易转化为合同协议,这可能会损害建筑师和建筑公司之间的合作。原创性/价值本文通过深入了解建筑行业中不太突出的项目建筑师及其合作伙伴的工作,提出了跨部门的专业实践观点。因此,本文将设计和施工实践结合起来,并提供了一个更全面的了解如何在地面上建造标志性项目。

PurposeThe observation by the authors, based on their extensive experience working in K-8 public schools in the region showed the special needs classrooms catering to children with exceptionalities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Disability (ID) and Emotional Disturbance (ED) are typically makeshift arrangements with no consideration given to students' unseen sensory needs. A thorough literature review indicates that there are no holistic design guidelines in place to meet the sensory needs of students with ASD, ID and ED. This study seeks to address this gap by providing considerations to meet the sensory needs impacting these students' focus, behavior and classroom engagement with course content and peers.Design/methodology/approachSensory design guidelines were established utilizing a qualitative method, providing a foundation for the development of classroom prototypes that address the sensory needs of students with ASD, ID and ED.FindingsThe new guidelines, which correlated interior design strategies with the sensory needs of children with ASD, ID and ED, and the resulting prototypes provide a basis for the further development of design standards and takes designers closer to creating more conducive and inclusive environments.Practical implicationsThis study reinforced the belief that these recommendations should be considered in the school-wide design. Many students can be included with their typical peers for all or part of their school day if space has been designed to accommodate their differences.Originality/valueThis study bridges the gap while documenting the correlation between design factors and sensory needs of students with exceptionalities, in this case, ASD, ID and ED.
目的:作者基于其在该地区K-8公立学校的丰富工作经验,观察发现,为自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)、智力残疾(ID)和情绪障碍(ED)等特殊儿童提供的特殊教室通常是临时安排,没有考虑到学生看不见的感官需求。一项全面的文献综述表明,目前还没有全面的设计指南来满足自闭症、自闭症、ED学生的感官需求。本研究旨在通过考虑满足影响这些学生的注意力、行为和课堂参与的感官需求来解决这一差距。设计/方法/方法感官设计指南采用定性方法建立,为教室原型的开发提供了基础,以满足ASD, ID和ED学生的感官需求。新指南将室内设计策略与ASD, ID和ED儿童的感官需求联系起来。由此产生的原型为设计标准的进一步发展提供了基础,并使设计师更接近于创造更有利和包容的环境。实际意义这项研究加强了我们的信念,即这些建议应在全校范围的设计中加以考虑。如果空间设计能够适应他们的差异,许多学生可以在学校的全部或部分时间里与他们的典型同龄人在一起。独创性/价值本研究填补了这一空白,同时记录了设计因素与特殊学生的感官需求之间的关系,在这种情况下,ASD, ID和ED。

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to provide a global snapshot of the current state of knowledge regarding attrition rates of women architects. The intended audience includes all the stakeholders of the profession, as well as those interested in professional attrition studies, with the aim to contribute to a social debate, which places increasing value on diversity, equal representation and retention in this field.Design/methodology/approachThis paper has utilized the structured analytical technique of a systematic review of the scholarship involving scholarship published over two decades between the years 2000 and 2020. Having selected research on this topic following a series of exclusionary and inclusionary criteria for relevancy and accuracy, this select research has been categorically and thoroughly analyzed using this technique.FindingsThis literature review identifies four main recurring themes among the literature, which address this research question, including: (1). cross-national differences and similarities; (2) demotivating factors leading to attrition; (3) graduate/architect terminology, which blurs the distinction between participants in architecture; and (4) implications of female architects as represented in professional publications and the “reward system.” Consequently, this literature review finds that to date no singular cause can be pinpointed as the sole cause of women's attrition, but rather a series of complex and intertwining factors, some of them specific to the profession.Originality/valueThis paper suggests areas for further study into the reduction of attrition rates of registered women in this discipline, with an emphasis that further research may expand to focus rather on positive aspects of the profession resulting in areas of retention, which has been of little focus in current research. Additionally, these findings make suggestions toward a series of recommendations that may assist in framing the industry toward more positive and equitable career and industry trajectories.
本研究的目的是提供一个关于女性建筑师流失率的全球知识现状的快照。目标受众包括该专业的所有利益相关者,以及对专业人员流失研究感兴趣的人,目的是促进社会辩论,使该领域的多样性,平等代表性和保留越来越有价值。设计/方法/方法本文采用了结构化的分析技术,对2000年至2020年间发表的20多年来的学术成果进行了系统回顾。根据一系列排除和包含相关性和准确性的标准,对该主题进行了选择研究,该选择研究已使用该技术进行了分类和彻底的分析。本文献综述确定了解决这一研究问题的文献中四个主要反复出现的主题,包括:(1)跨国差异和相似性;(2)导致人员流失的消极因素;(3)毕业生/建筑师术语,模糊了建筑参与者之间的区别;(4)专业出版物和“奖励制度”对女性建筑师的影响。因此,本文献综述发现,到目前为止,没有单一的原因可以确定为女性流失的唯一原因,而是一系列复杂而相互交织的因素,其中一些是该职业特有的。原创性/价值本文提出了进一步研究减少这一学科中注册妇女的流失率的领域,强调进一步的研究可以扩大到更侧重于职业的积极方面,从而产生保留领域,这在目前的研究中很少得到关注。此外,这些发现对一系列建议提出了建议,这些建议可能有助于将行业构建成更积极、更公平的职业和行业轨迹。

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to quantitatively evaluate the role of landscape values and factors in urban parks experimentally based on neuroscience.Design/methodology/approachIn the first step, ten major parks were selected out of 59 regional and trans-regional parks in Tehran for field study analysis. Next, considering the diversity and abundance of landscape elements in the selected parks, Mellat Park was chosen for the case study.FindingsThe fixation duration of the factors has an average correlation coefficient of 0.5865, −0.5035 and −0.5125 for the overall sketch map, quality and accuracy, respectively. The results indicated that the “quality of people's cognitive maps” has a direct relation to fixation duration on “human-made factors” and an inverse relation to fixation duration on “natural factors” and “human activities and behavioral factors” in the park.Practical implicationsThe results can pave the way for further research in the interdisciplinary fields of landscape architecture and neuroscience.Originality/valueLegibility is a superior quality of urban spaces that profoundly affect how people perceive and behave.
目的以神经科学为实验基础,定量评价城市公园景观价值及其影响因素的作用。设计/方法/方法第一步,从德黑兰的59个区域和跨区域公园中选出10个主要公园进行实地研究分析。其次,考虑到所选公园景观元素的多样性和丰富性,选择梅拉特公园作为案例研究。结果:各因子的固定时间与总体速写图、质量和精度的平均相关系数分别为0.5865、- 0.5035和- 0.5125。结果表明:“人的认知地图质量”与公园内“人为因素”的注视时长成正相关,与公园内“自然因素”和“人类活动与行为因素”的注视时长成反比。本研究结果可为景观建筑与神经科学交叉领域的进一步研究铺平道路。原创性/价值性是城市空间的一种卓越品质,它深刻地影响着人们的感知和行为方式。

PurposeThis paper aims to develop a cultural diversity management (CDM) framework to enhance the performance of architecture design firms (ADFs) in Egypt.Design/methodology/approachA research methodology consisting of literature review, case studies and survey questionnaire was designed to achieve the abovementioned aim. First, literature review was used to investigate the concepts of globalization, international construction, diversity, diversity management (DM) and organizational performance. Second, four case studies were presented and analyzed. The first two cases explored the role of CDM towards enhancing the performance of ADFs, while the last two cases showed initiatives carried out by NGOs to integrate architects of color into their communities through training programs that enhanced their skills and uplifted their societies. Third, a survey questionnaire was carried out with a representative sample of ADFs in Egypt to investigate their perception and application of DM towards enhancing organizational performance. Based on the results of the above, the research developed a framework to enhance the performance of ADFs through managing culturally diverse workforces.FindingsLiterature review showed that diversity is not limited to race and gender; however, it includes other types such as disability, socioeconomic status, thinking style, culture, personality, life experience, religious and spiritual beliefs. Despite the benefits that diversity brings to ADFs such as stimulating creativity and increasing productivity, poor management of diverse workforce leads to dysfunctional conflicts, frustration and confusion. Results of case studies showed that ADFs that adopt a CDM approach succeeded in enhancing their performance. In addition, training initiatives carried out by NGOs succeeded to integrate architects of color into their communities and uplifting their societies. Results of data analysis identified the barriers to integrating diverse workforce in ADFs. These barriers include “Poor communication and spirit of collaboration between diverse workforce”, “Resistance to change”, “Lack of maintaining wage equity and promotion between different workforces based on gender”, “Poor organization culture” and “Lack of Senior Management involvement”. This necessitated taking action towards developing a framework to overcome these barriers to manage diverse workforces towards enhancing the performance of ADFs in Egypt.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of the conceptual nature of the proposed framework, it has to be tested and validated to ensure its capability to overcome the barriers of managing culturally diverse workforces as an approach for enhancing the performance of ADFs in Egypt.Practical implicationsThis research presents a practical solution to enhance the performance of ADFs in Egypt through managing cultural workforce diversity.Originality/valueThe research identified and analyzed the barriers that obstruct the integration of diverse
本文旨在开发一个文化多样性管理(CDM)框架,以提高埃及建筑设计公司(adf)的绩效。设计/方法/方法为达到上述目的,设计了一种由文献综述、案例研究和调查问卷组成的研究方法。首先,采用文献综述的方法对全球化、国际化建设、多样性、多样性管理和组织绩效的概念进行了研究。其次,提出并分析了四个案例。前两个案例探讨了清洁发展机制在提高adf绩效方面的作用,而后两个案例展示了非政府组织通过培训项目将有色人种建筑师融入社区的举措,这些培训项目提高了他们的技能,提升了他们的社会。第三,对埃及adf的代表性样本进行问卷调查,以调查他们对DM提高组织绩效的看法和应用。基于上述结果,本研究开发了一个框架,通过管理文化多元化的员工来提高adf的绩效。研究结果:文献综述表明,多样性并不局限于种族和性别;然而,它还包括其他类型,如残疾、社会经济地位、思维方式、文化、个性、生活经历、宗教和精神信仰。尽管多元化给adf带来了诸如激发创造力和提高生产力等好处,但对多元化劳动力的管理不善会导致功能失调的冲突、挫折和混乱。案例研究结果表明,采用CDM方法的adf成功地提高了其性能。此外,非政府组织开展的培训活动成功地将有色人种建筑师融入了他们的社区,并提升了他们的社会。数据分析的结果确定了在adf中整合不同劳动力的障碍。这些障碍包括“不同劳动力之间缺乏沟通和合作精神”、“抵制变革”、“缺乏维持工资平等和基于性别的不同劳动力之间的晋升”、“糟糕的组织文化”和“缺乏高级管理层参与”。这就需要采取行动,制定一个框架,克服这些障碍,管理多样化的劳动力,提高埃及非洲发展基金的业绩。由于拟议框架的概念性质,必须对其进行测试和验证,以确保其能够克服管理文化多样化劳动力的障碍,作为提高埃及adf绩效的一种方法。本研究提出了一个实用的解决方案,通过管理文化劳动力多样性来提高埃及adf的绩效。独创性/价值本研究确定并分析了阻碍adf整合不同劳动力的障碍。这项研究解决了一个在建筑文献中很少受到关注的话题,特别是在埃及。此外,本文还提出了一个清洁发展机制框架,以提高埃及adf的绩效,这代表了一种在思想上新颖和创造性的综合,并为知识体系增加了价值。
